Eleven trials comparing enteral (tube) feeding within 24 hours after surgery with nil by mouth... view more... (2001-10-03)

Prolonged breast-feeding is not the cause of impaired growth
An association between prolonged breast-feeding and malnutrition of young children in developing countries has often been reported in recentyears.
