When we talk about the benefits of bf, the miracle of bf, breastmilk the
perfect food, etc, we set up an expectation that if you breastfed baby has
any learning troubles, or allergies, or ear infections, the claims of
perfection must be wrong.   But naturally, if sadly, some babies in a normal
-- ie, breastfed -- population are going to have all those troubles.
Because breastfeeding isn't a magic trick, it's simply a minimum. >>

I just read this post and it struck me that AIM is the miracle product b/c it
has the capacity to undo millions of years of Mother Nature's work. Perhaps
even just one bottle. I am (sadly) amazed!
