Janice, this is always interesting how a study can make this claim with  such 
a poor definition of breastfeeding.
 
I want to share an antidotal story related to this topic.
Was requested to see a baby who was a poor feeder.  The baby was about  3 
months old and readmitted because of the mother's concern the baby was not  
feeding well.
This was a Spanish speaking mother from Central America.  This was her  third 
child.  Her first was 12 years old.  She nursed this child for  over a year.  
This child "vomited often" after feedings but grew well and  is still in the 
average growth for her age.  Her second child, who is 8 was  born in this 
country and she did both breastfeeding and formula.  This baby  also "vomited" 
often and weaned from the breast around 6 months because mom did  not feel she 
had enough for this baby.  This child is now obsess and being  seen at a clinic 
to address this issue.  
Just interesting.
