Well, I have to admit I got the wrong impression about this study! It was piloted in Finland, and one of the important principles of the study was that exclusive breastfeeding was to be encouraged for at least six months. One of the two formulas was to be used if it became necessary at any time up to eight months of age. Apparently the researchers went to such pains to ensure that the research did not undermine breastfeeding, that breastfeeding rates were higher in the study participants than in the general population!
Thanks to the midwife who suggested I look this up.
