I wish I could believe this,  Kathleen -- but I see what happened to "natural 
childbirth" -- despite all of us  that thought that it was the most wonderful 
practice....and those of us that saw  the truth about how wonderful natural 
childbirth was in terms of parenting,  health, and connection....
 
But try and convince a woman  of natural childbirth today, and they look at 
you as though you have lost your  mind.  Pain???  Whatever is the point of 
experiencing any pain/feeling  whatsoever?  God invented epidurals for such a time 
as this.  And in  my cynical mind, I think women are thinking that God 
invented formula (with DHA  & ARA) for such a time as this as well -- such an 
inconvenience to  breastfeed -- to experience the Pain of Sore Nipples or Engorged 
breasts -- or  the Most Incredible Inconvenience of a Baby that Wakes up at  
Night....
 
Sigh.
