food for thought... It's become very clear to me that the educational 
emphasis toward exclusive breastfeeding in the last years has been heard, as 
I hear the term from mothers more and more, but it has not reached its target 
as intended. I have had so many mothers tell me things such as "my 12 month 
old is exclusively breastfed but seems to be having problems with chunky baby 
foods," or "should I give my exclusively breastfed 10m.o. wheat? She's 
tolerated rice cereal since she was 4 months old." Do others find this to be 
the case? Mothers seem to be under the understanding that no formula means 
exclusive breastfeeding. I'm realizing that when I write or mention "exclusive," 
I had best begin defining it.

Best,
