Yvonne,
What you wrote on pyloric stenosis sounds pretty good. I seem to remember
that it was deemed more common in firstborn male children. I don't know
why, or if that is still felt to be true.
There is an article on breastfed babies having less risk of pyloric stenosis:
Pisacane A et al. Breast feeding and hypertrophic pyloric stenosis:
population based case-control study. BMJ 1996;312(7033):745-746.
Sorry to reply to your plea so late. The volume of posts on Lactnet is a
bit overwhelming!
