sal - "here-here"!!! Statistics, at the end of the day, mean nothing. Lets treat every individual as just that! That's also a reason why statistics on the "dangers" of formula can be so dangerous themselves.....take it as a guess, but I think womens guilt over their parenting (including choices regarding breastfeeding) is a major contributor to postnatal depression. Lets illiminate this guilt, lets support one-another, and lets not assume we have any knowledge of anothers situation.
