Sleep 21:343-9. 1998..These results are consistent with the hypothesis that prone sleeping could increase risk for SIDS by altering the organization of sleep, and that time after feeding may play an important role in the expression of these effects... - Effects of quality of energy intake on growth and metabolic response of enterally fed low-birth-weight infantsS Kashyap
