Pamela, I share your horror!

>I have been trying to get my hands on a copy of this study for ever!

Haven't we all!  As far as I know, Dr Gray's study is still not
published!

>Or perhaps there is another reason for the Bactrim?

I must admit I was too shocked to ask!  Most of my info comes
second-hand via a dietician who has been attending the planning
meetings.  She is now on holiday, But I will follow this up with one of
the main researchers.  With no breastmilk and long term antibiotics,
what about these babies immune systems?

>Thirdly, who is funding the exercise?

Apparently the money will come from the Groote Schuur budget and the
funding for the formula from the PEM Scheme (Protein Energy
Malnutrition)
