Just a thought about a recent front page article in the Indianapolis Star...a
newborn dolphin died because it was unable to nurse. They stated how they
tried to make several formulas...but "like in humans, mothers milk is
essential to develop immunity" for the dolphin. I guess this is a good
article because they do mention briefly how important breastfeeding is...but
could you imagine if every newborn who died because they couldn't nurse and
had formula was portrayed...how full the papers would be. Sigh!
