"Is breast-feeding really best? Breast milk and formula are very similar,
with almost identical fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and minerals. The big
difference between the two is that breast milk has antibodies while formula
does not."

" Remember that many healthy children have been raised on formula. "

"It is often easier to figure out why a baby has lost too much weight or
failed to regain it if he is bottle-fed, "

I am SO SICK of self acclaimed experts spouting out absolute @#$% as though
they actually had some facts to back up their assertions.

The harm these puffed up #$%^ do is unknown, but surly awful.

Why would a news organization put forth someone as an expert without seeing
if they even have any qualifications?  Obviously the author has pediatric
knowledge, but we all know that doesn't mean she knows anything about
breastfeeding.  Where is the IBCLC after her name, funny, I didn't see it.

Can you tell I'm ready to strangle the next idiot that comes my way? ;/
