Have any of you who work in hospitals noticed that the nipples that
artificial milk companies provide have an even faster flow lately?  I am
not talking about the red ones, but the usual yellow ones.  If you turn
them upside down, the milk flows even faster than it used to, and of
course babies are getting more than ever.  As Cathy Genna says: " Drink
or drown!!"    I try to show this to moms at least once a day to make
them think twice about giving a bottle to their babies.

In formula-fed infants, weight gain during the first week of life may be
a critical determinant for the development of obesity several decades
later.
 
Can we link this to the time when they started using those nipples
donated by the artificial milk companies?
