Thank you for this Brian.  It's something I think of all the time, 
lately, as we are now down the road of having my 50+ year old husband 
fitted for a CPAP.  His mother attempted to breastfeed him, but the 
doctor did a visual exam on her milk, and told her it was "as weak as 
dishwater" and ordered her to the formula bottle.  My hubby, in turn, 
has a weak jaw, crooked squashed together teeth, an underbite, and now 
severe sleep apnoea. 

In contrast, my son, 3 years plus, still a hearty breastfeeding child, 
has now got wide even spaces around all his milk teeth, and a wonderful 
straight jaw.  He shares other facial muscle features with both his 
father, and grandfather - the appearance of a strong and muscular jaw in 
our son, fills my hubby with pride over the breastfeeding. 

And, hopefully, my son will never need the CPAP, his father is 
awaiting.  :-)
