Studies

[Pretty Butterfly]

Ok, I cant provide any scientific study, but I can provide a b/f story for a special needs baby....
Kane was born with a cleft lip/gum/palate that requires lots of surgeries. He was unable to b/f, so I EBM for 10 months, and he had nothing else.

*With BM he was able to eat much closer to surgery times (shows how natural and good it is, was unable to even have WATER!)
* had a MUCH faster recovery time (docs in SHOCK, very few clefties get BM, they couldn't believe how soon he fed after his ops, and how fast he picked up)
* We were warned of how much wieght he would lose, being on liquid only diets ,for weeks, after each op.... he lost only a small amount, and the docs put it, again, down to the fact that he had BM.

So although no scientific stuff, i do believe in how superior it is over FF. It was more than enough to prove a lot to me, research or no research!!

Good luck in your finds, and like the others, would LOVE to see what you can find!!! Very interested....

Been thinking about this, and I guess i liken bf/ ff to being like the sun and a tanning bed, rain water compared to bottled...etc.... nothing can ever really beat the natural, know what I mean?? There are no vitamins and minerals, or anitbacterial properties to gain from a tanning bed, and there is SO much crap in bottled water, compared to the REAL thing.... so I guess what I mean is I understand your reasoning for wanting the data, but for me, the fact that is natural and made for my baby, then it will always be best...imo of course..xoxo
