You know I have friends whose mother's recollections of what happened
when they were babies vary rather wildly from what was recorded in
their blue books when they tried to confirm stuff to see if there was
a family pattern going on with the next generation. You would assume
that mothers would recall accurately whether they breastfed at all,
but I would not find it hard to believe that memories of when solids
or formula were introduced might be hazy or inaccurate. I think of my
first daughter as not starting solids until she was well over a year
because that is when she consumed enough for her poo to change, I
have no real memories of trying to feed her solids much before that,
but I recently found photos that prove otherwise and this was less
than 4 yrs ago!

Cant trust a woman to know how she fed her baby????
Another problem with this study and many others is their reliance
on mother's memories of how they fed their infants, often a long
time after the fact.
