I think the article had some pretty hard hitting lines in the start of it, but I am just wondering where you feel that the propaganda is coming from? I mean as women some of us can get very personal about it and on our soapboxes a bit, but maybe I am blind LOL but I cannot see anything in public which is in your face about it? I'm not being silly, I am interested
I think like Astrid mentioned and the article too, that there is a lack of education, and the right sort of it - going for the kill isn't going to help, but I found the chart of contents of both quite helpful. And if I was more informed, I wouldn't have given Elijah the formula for those couple of months I did, when he was about 4 months or so, thinking it would help his reflux, when it actually made his wind worse, being a thickened formula. I am actualy glad he started rejecting it when he did and I had a chance to feed him again.
I am not against formula, I am all for education, support and encouragement without pressure. I do know women need to bottlefeed for all sorts of reasons, like medical conditions that you need medications for Brooke - no-one is denying that and I can understand that fully given I know your story, so I guess when the option is taken away from us, we can hurt more.
