Heather,

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I see bottle feeding everywhere I go.
I have NEVER heard someone say a negative comment to a bottle feeding
mother.  I am sure there are rude people out there that do comment but I do
feel it is an exaggeration.  The Bay Area seems to be rather neutral.  I
haven't seen any negative comments towards bottle feeding or breastfeeding.
I just think that the focus of this article was so "off the mark" about what
is important regarding breastfeeding or bottle feeding.  I just don't see
the type of hostility that was mentioned in this article.

<I read this, and I actually find it hard to believe that mothers
using bottles have total strangers coming up and *yelling* at them,
or making any univited comment at all.>
