No wo...Breast is better, but it is still a choice. No woman should be made to feel bad, or a failure, or a poor parent for choosing a bottle. That's like saying you should go back to cloth diapers because they're more enviromentally friendly (with the added bonus of keepin' those pesky women out of the workplace). Seriously, leave a new mother the hell alone. She's got enough to deal with without 'big brother' tellin' her how to feed her kid! And if formula was that horrible, it'd have killed off humans years ago - and I say this as a proud breastfeeding mother of 3!Rhiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630569660321713130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26499513.post-35185706111474653162007-08-02T19:12:00.000-07:002007-08-02T19:12:00.000-07:00Government has no business attempting to control o...Government has no business attempting to control our private lives.

Anyway, I have to disagree with a "ban" on hospital provided formula, it's a matter of choice and a new mother can easily say, "no thank you" just as easily as she can open a can of formula and mix it with h2o.paz y amorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540916426444246299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26499513.post-56068274608761616662007-08-02T08:20:00.000-07:002007-08-02T08:20:00.000-07:00Hey nobody's perfect.

Here in Brazil there has been an ongoing campaign for the last 5 years to get women to go back to breast-feeding as it has been proved to be more beneficial to children ( also for those who over-lactate or have stopped breast-feeding to donate their milk for those who have problems breast feeding) healthwise. I'm all for anything natural, but of course it is an option, I just think it should be your first option, formula just doesn't have the enzymes a child needs.<BR/><BR/>Take a gander at my friend Tits McGee's latest post:<BR/><BR/><A>http://titslist.blogspot.com</A>Hypersonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06047238167562731145noreply@blogger.com
