Nutritionally adequate it may be, but certainly not without  consequences.

Ingrid, and all
 
I agree, of course, just didn't want my email to be any longer.  
:)
As I said, I think breastfeeding is actually crucial to  babies. Yes, 
critical: it is both very important AND there is no good substitute  for it, and 
never will be, for many reasons.
 
That's a whole 'nother part of this complicated issue. And as we know,  
stating those facts that you state brings on the accusations of fanatic,  
Breastfeeding Nazi, maker-upper-of-studies, "overstater of reality", take your  
pick. Hopefully more pediatricians will actually read the new AAP statement 
and  change their biases and practices. In the meantime, formula is 
"adequate" to  keep children alive, and yes I agree there is more to life and health 
than  simply not dying. I figured that would understood, but I guess it 
wasn't and I  apologize to the list for any murkiness on the issue. 
Addendum: When the subject line gets changed, people can't follow the  
posts, so I added back in the original subject ( I think!)
 
Peace,
Judy
