Dr Bonuck seems impressed with the findings from our study but unclear with the EBF definition used. As reported in the article,1 we used the strictest definition of EBF (ie, no other food or fluid other than breast milk) as proposed by Labbok and Krasovec.3 While in the hospital and soon before hospital discharge, mothers were directly asked by the interviewer to respond to these questions: (1) How are you feeding your newborn (exclusive breastfeeding; breast and formula feeding; exclusive formula feeding), and (2) Has your newborn received anything besides breast milk (yes or no). At each follow-up contact, the question was asked in relation to the previous week, the previous 24 hours, and since the baby was born.
