"Anxious Parents Misdiagnose Milk Formula Intolerance"

Indeed, it's interesting how common pathologies can be seen as "normal" and parents' instincts are undermined. Do you suppose this is their feeble attempt to counter our (correct) use of breastfeeding as the norm?
   
"While regurgitation, crying, fussiness, 
and colic can be signs of intolerances, similar episodes are also normal during early infancy. But anxious parents may mistake these normal episodes as formula intolerance."

Dear friends,
Jo-Anne is so right. This is another example of exchanging ''common'' for ''normal''. Humans must be a very alien species, for they are the only ones were infant fussiness and colick seems to be the norm .... 

Warmly,
