Hi All,
Had to share with you another reason to not BF.
Met this gal in the grocery store yesterday.  We got to talking about what
we each do for a living.  I told her what I do (pump rentals and BF
counseling).  She looked down at her breasts and said:
"Oh, I didn't go that route with either of my kids.  I was really anemic
during pregnancy and the doctor loaded me up with so much extra iron that my
babies had to be fed no-iron formula.  I wanted to BF, but you know, when
you're that anemic, you just can't."

Oh, brother!  I was stunned.  It was all I could do to not laugh out loud
and say "You have GOT to be kidding!"  And since when is there a NO-iron
AIM?  Low-iron, yes.  She said that Similac had a no-iron AIM.  I have never
seen it, anyone else?

Oh, well....
