[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fact: breastmilk is nutritionally and immunologically superior to formula because it is perfectly tailored to the baby of the person who is producing it.

Fact: formula is a healthy alternative and babies who eat it will thrive.

Fact: in certain circumstances formula is a better (or best or only) choice than breastmilk.

Fact: modern society has made it incredibly difficult for women to breastfeed, and for some nearly impossible.

That LC was out of line, extremely unprofessional, and hopefully she was reprimanded harshly for her behavior.

I wholeheartedly recommend the book the article linked above is excerpted from. Best pregnancy book I’ve ever read.

You honestly can't win. People get aghast when women breastfeed in public, but people also get aghast when women mix a bottle of formula in public. Obviously the answer is either babies should not eat, or mother and baby should hide away for a year until baby is able to eat table food and drink from a sippy cup so the general public is no longer offended.

The only thing that is winning is your baby surviving and thriving. Bonus feel-good points if you can shrug off what other people think/say about your choices, including so-called professionals.[/quote]
