I think that the article is open for both Breast feeding "advocates" and formula feeders to both gain something from it...

I think its great for people to hear the way some of these comments listed can effect someone's feelings. And if it helps someone (anyone) who is encouraging or talking to someone who is formula feeding or considering it, or even just someone pregnant, to maybe think about how they phrase things or what they say, then it helps.

And then I think too it helps someone who has "heard" these phrases aimed personally at them to have a bit of validation and go "Yeah that didnt help", yes there maybe some commradery of FF-ers, coz we are the ones who have heard them, or felt this way.

I think anyone who takes the article too personally(or even the fact that it has been posted) may have been guilty of saying these things (or even thinking them) and maybe they then need to hear that while they have the best of intentions.. saying these things dont always help!!!!! And i think that's the point of the article.
