This article singularly free of info on which studies they are quoting. IMO the thing to look at would be to see if the data came from women who were EXCLUSIVELY (as in WHO deifinition) breastfeeding. Many researchers have no idea that this is a vital element of research, or understand what exclusive bf is. sigh.
