This is anecdotal only, but, further proof that BF children=healthier children!
My oldest (almost 14 years) had his first "sick" visit to the ped at age *6
years*(see what going to school does for kids!). He has had *2* sick visits
between ages 6 and 14 years. He has never had a ear infection.
My middle (10.5 years) had her first "sick" visit at age *4 years* (she
went to preschool, the oldest did not). She has had *3* sick visits between
ages 4 and 10 years.
My youngest (4.5 years) has had *3* "sick" visits thus far. (has not been
to school yet).
All three children were exclusively BF for the first six months, and
continued to BF until approx. 2.5 years old. NO ABM EVER.
