control studies of bedsharing must take
feeding type into account.

The intervention tested by Bonuck et al. (31) yielded impressive results with significantly higher rates of any breastfeeding through 20 wk PP, with the exception of week 18 (53 vs. 39 %, P < 0.05) and greater breastfeeding intensity (defined as more than half of

This is consistent with other
studies demonstrating a link between breastfeeding and maternal sensitivity.25, 26,27 For example, in a longitudinal
study of more than 1300 families in the USA, mothers who breast
fed were observed to be more sensitive to their babies at 6, 15, 24 and 36 months.27 Importantly, this difference persisted after statistical
control for the effects of maternal mental health, the quality of the home environment in terms of infant health and stimulation and socioeconomic status.

Another
study of 2,900 Australian infants assessed at ages 1, 2 3, 5, 8, 10, and 14 years found that infants breastfed for 6 months or longer, had lower externalizing, internalizing, and total behaviour problem scores throughout childhood and into adolescence than never breastfed and infants
fed for less than 6 months.8 These differences remained after statistical
control for the presence of both biological parents in the home, low income and other factors associated with poor mental health.
Venneman and colleagues5 recently demonstrated that infants who are formula
fed are twice as likely to die of SIDS than breastfed infants based on a case
control study of 333 SIDS cases compared to 998 aged matched
controls in Germany, from 1998 - 2001, consistent with previously published reports.35 While no
studies show that co-sleeping in the form of bedsharing, specifically, is imperative for breastfeeding enhancement, many
studies have shown that in order to get more sleep and to ease caring for their infants the decision to breastfeed often leads mothers to adopt routine bedsharing for at least part of the night36 - 40 even where they never intended to do so.41, 42 Indeed, nearly 50 % of breastfeeding mothers in the United States and Great Britain adopt bedsharing for some part of the night,38,43 - 45 and breastfeeding women are twice as likely to sleep with their babies in the first month relative to mothers electing to bottle -
feed.39

For the animal
study, the researchers separated 52 mice with colon cancer tumors into three groups, including a

Although numerous
studies have examined the potentially detrimental effects of restrictive
feeding practices on children, the current

studies and scholar in the Illinois Transdisciplinary Obesity Prevention Program.
