"Of course, it would not be considered PC to say anything to a mother to the

effect that her choice of feeding was what caused her baby to be sick, which

brings up another topic to discuss but, really, don't mothers have the RIGHT

to know that choosing not to breast feed requires acceptance of a much 
greater rate of illness?"-Darillyn

Darillyn and other Lactnetters-

Isnt it funny how all the formula Moms and doctors and everyone else for
that matter can demand inquisition, critisize, judge, and outright
demoralize our decsion to breastfeed but heaven forbid we should make a Mom
feel guilty or know the risks of formula feeding.  That would not be PC!  It
is such a double standard-it frustrates me to no end.  

Just my $.02!
