I heard today that not breastfeeding can cause distortions in the baby's mouth and jaw. This sounds like nonsense to me but the amount I know about breastfeeding can adequately be summed up by the phrase "bugger all" Twitter, what's your verdict?

PROBIT intervn created two prospective cohorts w/a small difference in breastfeeding of 8.3% at 1 year. All infants bf initially. 1ry outcome was gastrointestinal tract infections (9.1% vs 13.2%; adj OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.40-0.91)pic.twitter.com/3Ogc7ZPtTw

Right, so afaik PROBIT is the only RCT conducted in high-income country to look at effects bf promotion on health outcomes (infant/mother). Many, many other RCT of bf support (I was involved in a SR of this), showing impact on bf rates but generally not assessing health outcomes

PROBIT achieved substantial improvements in bf duration (all babies in the trial were breastfed) and "as randomized" analysis shows subsequent impact on diarrhoea episodes and rashes, some possible improvements on (some) neurocognitive outcomes
