Yesterday on our evening news in Baltimore they had a bit on our mayor
Martin O'Malley because apparently he's going to be a father again, or
he just had a baby.  I came in late so I'm not sure which one!
It was all cute and nice until they asked if he had any concerns and his
answer was something to the effect of "just the cost of diapers and
formula".
So of course I had to pop off an email to him ;0)
I had to be fair and assume that maybe his wife couldn't breastfeed so I
said something like please forgive the email if your wife is one of the
few who can't bf for some medical reason.  However, if he did want to
save on the cost of formula, and even diapers in some cases, as well as
near future medical bills and far future medical bills to name just a
few things, that they should consider nursing.
If anyone else wants to add their .02, his email address is:

Please don't forget to consider the possibility that they CAN'T
breastfeed; it's one of the things that I always have to remind myself
when I see a bottle feeding parent or hear of one.
Take care ladies!
Karen
