I didn't see anywhere to respond to this article. Does anyone know of a way
to write in? That article was stupid, IMHO. The validity of the piece is
blown out of the water as far as I am concerned when he mentions "making"
mothers feel guilty for feeding formula. If a mother feels guilty, noone has
forced that feeling upon her, it is all her own. But yet society continues
to "take the blame" for their feelings. Accept the responsibility on your
own I say! If a woman chooses to feed formula and feels guilty, than maybe
she wasn't informed in her decision and obviously doesn't feel it was right.

Ridiculous article. Geesh, where does it stop!
