I was talking to a California LC friend of mine tonight, and she told me  she 
went to a breastfeeding conference where they discussed formula  
supplementation.
 
Bottom line was that formula DOES NOT change the gut flora of newborn  
infants, as previously thought.  I was stunned.  I had read Ruth  Lawrence's 
comments about this subject in her book (albeit a few years ago), and  she stated the 
gut flora was changed forever.
 
Can anyone out there shed some light on this for me.  TIA.  You  can email me 
privately if you want.
