Infant feeding method

Posted by Alamo Joe on February 13, 2008 at 16:59:31:

Beast feeding seems to result in lower AHI when compared to formula fed and combination feeding.

I think that all one get from PubMed is the abstract. This is the first one I have seen which reported AHI data on the difference between breast feeding and bottle feeding.
