Please excuse me while I vent.

I'd like to know why there is not a strong national campaign exposing
the benefits of breastfeeding? Surely the general taxpayer would like to
know about how much money could be saved (in medical services) if every
baby was breastfed. Why do I keep hearing (from doctors, nurses, other
medical professionals) that although breastfeeding is best, it is OK to
feed formula. I've never heard "While using a car seat is best, its OK
not to". If something has been proven to help improve our childrens
physical and mental health, why isn't it encouraged more?

ahhh. Now that that's done I have a question. I'm writing up my research
paper, and I'd like to know what term I should use throughout my paper.

breast milk
breastmilk
human milk
some other word?

You can email me, or post to the rest.
