My question is whether such group education about formula feeding is better than none? It seems that many women do not have access to one on one education and in the absence of any other education they are left to fend for themselves. Certainly very dangerous!

My point was that watching alone, and weeks/months before the info is needed, is useless and dangerous. I was not saying people don't need to watch - of course they do!  I was saying they need to watch and then do - individually, with individual supervision :)
