[quote=Anonymous]The European formulas may well be "superior" but the question is are they superior enough to justify the added expense and effort needed to get them?  Are they superior enough to actually make a difference in a child's health?  A difference in a child's development?  A difference in a child's intelligence?  The difference in these outcomes between breastfed and formula fed babies aren't significant enough to make a long term impact on a child, do you really believe the differences between babies fed European formulas and American formulas will be?  I don't so I was very comfortable feeding my child an American formula (a generic one at that!) when the time came.

Then again, I don't believe that cost and effort spent on getting formula is a proxy variable for how much I love my child and some people on this board very clearly do.  The same way some people believe the effort spent making breastfeeding work is a proxy variable for love.  I don't love my child less because I didn't exclusively breastfeed until 12 months old and I don't love my child less because I gave her formula from Costco.  If my child doesn't get into Harvard, it won't be because of the formula.[/quote]
