Dear Friends:
Thank you Marianne. The 2 studies by R. Little were the ones I referred to
in my earlier post; she was unable to replicate her findings in the second
study out to 18 months.
When an agency puts something in their guidelines, that isn't enough to
convince me, although I have to follow the guidelines when teaching for my job.
(Witness the AAP comments about bed-sharing! Compare them with the Academy of
Breastfeeding Medicine's co-sleeping protocol.) I want to go read studies and
see for myself.
The first Menella study had 12 babies in it. (Hardly statistically
significant). One baby took more milk when it was alcohol flavored. The assumption
was made that babies take "X" amount of milk per feeding, so babies where the
milk was alcohol flavored took "Y" amount, which was deemed proof that alcohol
reduces milk ingestion. However, babies take varying amounts per feed per
day. Not very convincing findings.
Are there any specific studies, anywhere?
warmly,
