Our hospital is/was recently looking at starting up a study on the effects of
epidurals on baby's suck.  They had some real (and valid) concerns that there
may be too many contributing factors that could make the study impossible to
do.  Long labors, fetal distress, etc, etc, etc.  What do those of you who
understand the subtleties of reasearch think is the feasablility of doing a
study like this?
