I can't help but wonder if this is part of a study of some sort, cynic that
I am. Why are only pro-breastfeeding moms posting? Are they promoting these
sites at all? Are there others out there we haven't found yet? What message
is being sent? Why would they spend money and effort on something that isn't
going to consumers? I bet the answers to these questions are very
interesting...

Subject: interesting website
In case you missed it, Moms Feeding Freedom
http://www.momsfeedingfreedom.com/index.php/stories/index/10
is a website set up by the International Formula Council.
It includes a blog by two women who have been employed to present the IFC's
point of view. The public is encouraged to comment on blog entries.
So far, almost all the comments have been pro-breastfeeding!
Amazing!
There is also a petition one can sign (anti-Ban the Bags) and a section for
mothers' stories.
All of the stories are about how mothers struggled to breastfeed, and/or
were relieved that formula saved their sanity/children's lives etc. etc.
The stories are *reviewed prior to posting.* I guess this means that they
are censored?
Wouldn't it be interesting if the website was flooded by stories from
mothers who have had positive breastfeeding experiences?
