>Does anybody have any information that I can pass on to this mother, she
feels very guilty about "ruining" her child's teeth and is considering
weaning her child, basing her decision solely on what her dentist told her.
Thank you.<

LLLGB have a great leaflet just published a few months ago, Breastfeeding and
Dental Health.  I have mislaid my copy (!) but it talks about the research and
how this has been interpreted unfortunately by dentists and sets the record
straight.  It was co-authored by someone from Ireland who did some PhD work on
the topic.  Anyone know if this leaflet has crossed the Atlantic and is
available inthe USA?
