The link posted took me to a short rebuttal of the article (but it wasn't
difficult to use the link at the bottom to see the abstract). It was
interesting that the pediatrician who is objecting parental choice describes
formula feeding as such:

" As a pediatrician, my patient is the infant. I cannot allow the possible
cultural and social discomfort of an adult to justify putting an infant at
risk for an incurable, lethal viral infection. When a safe, risk-free
alternative exists (formula feeding), no-risk exposure to an infant is
acceptable. How could you justify the risk-benefit ratio favoring the mother
in this circumstance? My ethics and training force me to favor the infant
and I would be obligated to ask the courts to intervene."

a "safe, risk-free alternative"

This man is not only a doctor, but a pediatrician.
