Link AUSTRALIA&#8217;S leading children&#8217;s hospital has urged parents to stop bottle-feeding their babies because of rising rates of severe tooth decay in infants as young as 12 months. &#8230; prolonged feeding with bottles of breast milk and infant formula are linked to the problem, especially at night, when children suck on bottles in their cots for extended periods. &#8230; naturally-occurring lactose was present in both breast milk and formula.

All up, you&#8217;re looking at somewhere between $2,000 and $10,000. Private midwifery care, on the other hand, costs somewhere between $3,000 and $6,000.

By Robert Preidt Smoking by mothers has replaced infants sleeping on their stomachs as the greatest modifiable risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome. When mothers smoke, the sleep arousal process of infants, which awakens them in response to a life-threatening situation, is altered, increasing the risk for SIDS. Infants who are exposed to smoke had reduced sub-cortical activation to cortical arousal, lower rates of full cortical arousals from sleep, and higher rates of sub-cortical activations than infants of non-smoking mothers.
