Greetings Lactnetters:
I found another example of AARRGGHH whilst surfing the 'Net looking for
breastfeeding research today and I thought it might be of some benefit to
post my observation on the subject of breastfeeding info. on web pages.
 Under the heading of breastfeeding (which understandably, generates alot of
different types of material), I stumbled across the Kid's Health. Org page.
 Within that particular site they had two different articles.  One entitled
"The Advantages of Breastfeeding" and the other "The Advantages of
Bottlefeeding".  So, I proceeded to read both articles.  As you might
imagine, the second article referring to ABM was absurd.  In essence, it
equated bottlefeeding to breastfeeding as equal food sources, even going so
far as to say bottlefeeding with ABM was an "excellent" food source. (YIKES
and Gadzukes) Since this site gives one the opportunity for comment, I did
so.  I found it also quite interesting that this particular site is
associated with the duPont Hospital for Children and the Nemour's Children
Clinic.  If anyone would like the e-mail or web site to read or respond to
this article, please e-mail me privately.
Cordially:
Mary Ann Dever

P.S.  The topic I have chosen for a research project I'm putting together for
a college class I'm taking is: Breastfeeding: Inspite of the documented
health advantages and its subsequent cost effectiveness for consumers and
healthcare insurers, why are so many mother's still choosing to feed their
infants with ABM or wean early?  I'd appreciate any input regarding the
broadness or specificity of this topic.  Given my limited background in this
field, is this too broad a topic for just a college paper?  Please pardon the
length of this post.  I'll go back to lurking for awhile.  Thanks so much.
