Great news in the report about MS and breastfeeding, but the wording of the report and other articles about the report is disappointing and another example of avoiding the "F" word (no, I mean Formula!).  The report is titled

"Exclusive Breastfeeding and the Risk of Postpartum Relapses in Women With Multiple Sclerosis"

where it should have said something like 

"Artificial Infant Feeding Increases the Risk of Post Partum Relapses...."

Then US News and World Report refers to the study by saying. 

"Breast-feeding OK for Most Moms with MS"

OK! it said a lot more than just "OK".  We sure have a long way to go to make people see breastfeeding as the norm!
