I couldn't agree more. As you know,I'm a breastfeeding mom, but when Myles was born with low birth weight, he had no suck/swallow reflex at the beginning and I had little to no milk to pump for him. <BR/>If it wasn't for the formula samples he got in the hospital and for the first few days at home, I don't know what we would have done.<BR/>Yes breastmilk is a no brainer, if you can do it. But we're lucky that we have other options. If Myles had been born 100 years ago, we would have had to find a wet nurse, or he would have died. Formula is not poison, it's a great alternative that gives women the options and choices to do what is best for them and their children.TBhttp://soulgardening.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.com
