Hi All,

     I was wondering if someone could point me to some research about this?
 Basically, I've been asked if bottlefeeding breastmilk at night would have
any impact on a baby's sleep patterns.  Would they be less likely to
"comfort suck"; would they sleep longer sooner?
     I, of course, went into the needs of babies and the importance of
meeting those needs, even the needs for comfort versus hunger or thirst, but
I have, nonetheless, promised to try to find some research on this.

     I will be looking thru my books as well!  

Thanks!
