Yes...I also choked on my orange juice this morning
when I heard the AAP Guidelines being quoted as
recommending formula. Here is where the quote
seems to have originated:

"December 2, 1997 -- America's baby doctors are
sending a strong message to new mothers:
Breastfeed your babies! Under new guidelines, the
American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
mothers breastfeed their babies for the first year of life.
NPR's Patricia Neighmond reports the doctors say
babies do best on mothers milk for the first six months
-- and then in combination with formula for at least
another six months."
