Yvonne,

What you wrote on pyloric stenosis sounds pretty good.  I seem to remember
that it was deemed more common in firstborn male children.  I don't know
why, or if that is still felt to be true.

There is an article on breastfed babies having less risk of pyloric stenosis:

Pisacane A et al. Breast feeding and hypertrophic pyloric stenosis:
population based case-control study. BMJ 1996;312(7033):745-746.

Sorry to reply to your plea so late.  The volume of posts on Lactnet is a
bit overwhelming!
