Hi everyone
Thanks so much to those of you who responded to my request for help
for my friend with the very unsettled baby. I'll let you know the
outcome.

Another question -
Do any of you know of any research showing that infants born
prematurely have an increased risk of heart disease in adult life??
A fellow doctor is talking to health workers about health in
pregnancy and cardiovascular health, and is hoping to show that
anything that increases risk of premature birth might increase risk
of later heart disease. She is also promoting breastfeeding as a
risk reduction factor. I have done a medline search but can't find
anything definitive. Anyone out there have something hidden in the
filing cabinet??

Thanks
Fiona
