Dear Friends:
 
Thank you Marianne. The 2 studies by R. Little were the ones I referred to  
in my earlier post; she was unable to replicate her findings in the second 
study  out to 18 months.
 
When an agency puts something in their guidelines, that isn't enough  to 
convince me, although I have to follow the guidelines when teaching for my  job. 
(Witness the AAP comments about bed-sharing! Compare them with the Academy  of 
Breastfeeding Medicine's co-sleeping protocol.) I want to go read studies and  
see for myself.
 
The first Menella study had 12 babies in it. (Hardly statistically  
significant). One baby took more  milk when it was alcohol flavored. The  assumption 
was made that babies take "X" amount of milk per feeding, so babies  where the 
milk was alcohol flavored took "Y" amount, which was deemed proof that  alcohol 
reduces milk ingestion. However, babies take varying amounts per feed  per 
day. Not very convincing findings. 
 
Are there any specific studies, anywhere?
 
warmly,
