[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Setting aside how utterly cruel and tone death it is to shame formula feeding families right now as OP has done, I don't get the premise of her post. I gave birth 3 years ago and all I got was breastfeeding education. Very little information on formula feeding was provided which might be why babies are in the hospital right now because they drank diluted formula.[/quote] +1 My last kid was born 9 years ago, and there was TONS of information about breastfeeding, and definitely the message was Breast is Best and all that. One issue is that we don't, as a society, actually support nursing in the sense of ensuring adequate maternity leave or ready access to support, and people complain if you nurse in public, but that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Any woman who has given birth in the past year was told about nursing. And there are a million reasons why someone wouldn't nurse, or wouldn't rely solely on breastmilk, besides "convenience."[/quote]
