-Caveat Lector-
The problem is, is that formula companies have the money to sponsor
studies like this, to buy government officials, and to finance
hard-sell advertising campaigns touting the benefits of formula.
Breastfeeding mothers do not have this money and have only
word-of-mouth to counteract the huge propaganda campaign mounted by the
formula companies. Note too, that National Breastfeeding Week took
place August 1-7, and every year, we can count on the formula companies
putting out a piece on either a) the greatness of formual, or b) the
hazards of breastfeeding. I remember Prime Time Live during one
National Breastfeeding Week (mid 90s) had a story about breastfed
babies getting dehydrated -- turns out the mothers were having problems
with latch-on and did not seek help until it was too late -- but during
the show, I noticed FIVE commercials for Carnation Good Start formula.

If there are any pregnant women or new mothers on the list who need
info/support/advice about breastfeeding, feel free to email me off
list. I nursed both of my sons and they are 2 of the healthiest kids in
town.

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
