How disappointing it is to hear the latest news regarding the breastfeeding ad campaign. Sadly, I am disappointed but not surprised, after all the formula companies have strong financial power and if the truth gets out they stand to lose millions. It is still very exciting that there even is a campaign and I am truly thankful for all of those who have worked so hard on such a important and difficult project. It does make me smile to think of those formula execs getting all nervous and sweaty, discussing the big bad breastfeeding supporters. The concern over mothers feeling guilty if their infant has leukemia makes me wonder , shouldn't they be more concerned over the fact that mom's might blame the physicians and the companies for not telling them the risks? It really is a shame, we are bombarded with fake warnings about the silliest of things...large tabloids that warn us " could kissing cause cancer?" and other ridiculous things. But when it comes to the truth about breastfeeding and the real and dangerous risks of infant formula, we are treated like mushrooms.
