Something I thought I would share...

I think that was in the ABA magazine a while back? It is an interesting perspective isn't it! Never mind testing on animals - let's just go straight to babies!

Of course it IS important to consider those who have been unable to bf, but I think everyone would agree that babies health should be put before commercial interests. I would suggest that it would have made more sense for health departments or medical professionals to decide what should be fed to babies unable to receive bm -therefore bm alternatives should be "designed" by specialist medical scientists being paid by government or a medical body, not a multinational food corporation, and the manufacturing process should be far more regulated.

too true! Infant formula is their SOLE nutrition.. no other fluids or solids or anything.. should be much more care taken with it.

And yep - very interesting perspective Kelly. Bit frightening!
