Did the study re: nutritional needs of breastfed infants and
delaying solids look at development of the infant (feeding skills,
language skills)? I'm going from memory here, but remember something
about introduction of solids helping to develop feeding skills, and
they might be harder to develop if the feeding cues were missed.
Sorry, don't have time to hunt for reference.
