how about the "small print" that starts with "breastmilk is best for babies"- it includes "good maternal nutrition is important for preparation and maintainance of breastfeeding....introduction of partial bottlefeeding could negatively affect breastfeeding and reversing a decision to not breastfeed is difficult...social and financial implications should be considered when selecting a method of infant feeding."
   if financial implications were the *only* consideration, no one would choose to not breastfeed...and these formula manufacturers would love to see bottle feeding the only socially "normal" and acceptable way to feed.
