Lactation Nation -- post by Will Crain

William Mitchell College of Law student Will Crain has posted a discussion of a recent study of childhood obesity and the timing of introduction of solid food.  Will has his own blog, Corrective Lenses, so I'm not reposting the whole post.  The post begins:
Every couple of weeks it seems there is another news article about how we in America are making our children obese. On alternate weeks, we get stories about the benefits of prolonged breast feeding. It was only a matter of time before a story came along that combined both. This blog post, by Jennifer LaRue Huget, from the Washington Post’s online site, reports on a new study that finds a correlation between childhood obesity and weaning babies before the recommended 6 months. more

Thanks, Will!
