Susan, I was at a presentation by the researchers, in the UK, when their work was first published. The session was funded by Avent of course. A number of us had concerns about the methodology of the research, and our questions were not welcome! I have the paper at work and will look at it and get back to you about the randomisation etc. Regards, -- Carolyn Westcott RN IBCLC Southampton UK mailto:[log in to unmask] *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
