Karleen requests input on articles about differences between  breast and bottle-fed infants:

Baumgartner,C:  Psychomotor and social development of breast-fed and bottle-fed babies during their first year of life, Acta Paediatrica Hungarica 1984; 25(4):409-412. From the abstract:  "The quality of mother-child interaction is essentially influednced by the feeding method, because distance and proximity have an essential influence on their relation.  As an important sign of intellectual maturity was regarded the fear reaction to strangers...The psychomotor and social development of breast-fed babies clearly differs from that of bottle-fed ones..."

Blass, E:  Behavioral and physiological consequences of suckling in rat and human newborns, Acta Paediatr 1994; Suppl 397:71-76.  Besides delivering nourishment to the infant, suckling affects behavior and physiology. (Summarizes studies on reduction of stress and pain reactions as evaluated by vocalization and behavioral changes..The author discusses the importance of changes caused by maternal contact and milk ingestion for learning about mother and establishing a closs relationship.)

Virden,S:  The Relationship between infant feeding method and maternal role adjustment, J Nurse-Midwifery 1988; 33(1):31-35. "At one month postpartum women who breastfed their infants had scores indicating less anxiety and more mutuality than the women bottle feeding their infants."

Christensson,K et al:  Separation distress call in the human neonate in the absence of maternal body contact, Acta Paediatr 1996; 84(6):468-473.  "The most appropriate position of the healthy full-term newborn baby after birth is in close body contact with the mother."
