I'm just wondering if anyone else is seeing what I'm seeing and coming to a similar conclusion. I have been seeing more formula feeding moms in the last 2 or 3 months and am wondering if it is because of the "new, improved" formula? Our breastfeeding initiation rates have dropped in these last
months, though I don't have any hard numbers. I just know that, in our newborn nursery, most babies were breast babies and if there are 5 or 6 babies on the board, only 1 or 2 of them would be formula. Now, we are having 3 or 4 of them on formula. Just seems odd to me to see this reverse in the
trend and it seems to be continuing. I don't know what else to ascribe it to. Anyone else seeing the same thing or have any other guesses as to cause?
Marsha, whose daughter has been in Australia for a few weeks, due home this week, and whose starry-eyed descriptions have me really envious of those attending the ILCA conference this year!
