Hi all Thanks for the encouragement so many of you sent me. I have written the letter and posted it on bmj rapid response. (I am in very good company, sitting next to Marsha Walker and Rachel Myr!!) It looks pretty aweful - the web page takes out all of the carriage returns and makes it into one huge block of text (including references). Hopefully the online reviewers will notice that it is a properly referenced paper and publish it in the print edition as well. The title of the response I sent is, "No cognitive advantage for artificially fed infants given some breastmilk". Let's see if it flies.
