 Opal:  A few months back, I posted a slightly old (one version out of
date) LLLI statement on tooth decay and bf, plus the bibliography.  Try
accessing the archives.  For the most current info, contact LLLI and get a
copy of the latest statement.  Your Area Professional Liasion for LLL would
have one.  If you tell me where you are I can tell you who she is and what
her number is.

For those who haven't heard it..."a few breastfeeding toddlers do develop
dental caries IN SPITE of breastfeeding, not because of it." (Betty Crase,
IBCLC in the 1997 Facts About Breastfeeding published by LLLI, Schaumburg,
ILL)  There is no conclusive evidence that indicts bf; infact, just the
opposite.  There are many other factors (fever in pregnancy, caffeine
intake in preg and lact, sugar in toddler's diet, lack of brushing with
fluoride toothpaste, etc.).

Wendt, L-K et al.  "Analysis of caries-related factors in infants and
toddlers living in Sweden."  Acta Odont Scand 1996; 54(2): 131-37.

Schneider, P. et al . "Effects of caffeine intake during gestation and
lacation on the acid solubility of enamel in eaning rats." Caris Res. 1995;
29:285-90.
