BMJ
Im sure you have heard the latest "haha told u all so" article on breastfeding published by the BMJ...claiming that six months of exclusive breastfeeding ”could harm babies,”. Sadly most of the journalists commenting appear not to have read the article....! The point of the study in the BMJ was to question the timing for the introduction of solid foods, and argue against the widely recommended 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding with no other solids or liquids. Fortunately, the Unicef UK was on the ball, and issued an excellent rebuttal.
The BMJ article was pointing out the lack of data on the subject of early weaning, but a huge issue with their data (as they point out) is that the numbers of babies being fed exclusively until 6 months is so small that they cannot compare and study this group as a group... sadly...
The study was a study of studies per se, and unfortunately the media just love to stir up a controversial issue like breastfeeding, and the title of the BMJ article was right down their alley.. sadly it didnt reflect the content of the research...
