My 6th grade son is very alert to and regularly comments on formula-feeding
images, where ever we might be, and in the media, ...ie; if he sees a baby
formula feeding on TV he may abruptly warn "Mom, don't look at the TV! you
won't like what you see".

Kids say the darnest things: The other day my son said that his bus driver
has a really cute baby and he likes to talk to him, but "there is just one
problem, he's been *formulized*", ....following up with "I didn't want to
just come out and say to the bus driver that formula is bad, so, I said that
my Mom boycotts Nestles because they make formula".

Today he was reading the comic "Baby Blues", and he commented "Oh, she had
her baby!" and then read to me about how they had named the baby Wren.

He never mentioned that in all three comic frames the baby was *very
obviously* breastfeeding.
