Hi Lactnetters,
      I was just listening to the news while catching up on lactner
digests. (Amazing how much you miss in two days!)
       Dr. Max Gomex on NBC news in NY just did a piece on how breastfed
babies had lower blood pressures than formula fed babies in a study
published in Lancet and that could have implications for future health.
Might explain my hypertension in two of my pregnancies and my recent bout
which caused me to rethink my stress levels, since my mom was told she had
the wrong kind of breasts to feed me in the early fifties!
     They actually showed moms breastfeeding on national tv and one
unforunate baby bottlefeeding. You can probably find the info on their
website. www.wnbc.com. Amazing how all these studies need to prove breast
is best, maybe some people will change due to the "new" info.
                              Warm regards,
                              Ellen Bane Mahony, RN, MS, LCCE, IBCLC
Where the 18in of snow from Mon. still looks pretty!
