<< positive breastfeeding language in the medical literature
Hooray! It is finally happening: data is being reported NOT as a
"benefit of breastfeeding" but as an "increased morbidity from
bottle-feeding." I just finished reading the full text of Scariati's June
Pediatrics article, and I quote: "When compared with exclusively
breastfed infants, infants who received formula only had an 80% increase
in their risk of developing diarrhea and a 70% increase in their risk of
developing an ear infection."

********************
I think she meant to write "infants who received formula-only", meaning the
group of infants ONLY received formula.
