Betsy, you said in your last post,

" If some of you who do not work with large groups of the general public
could 
see the calibre (or lack thereof) of some of our parents of this generation
coming up, you'd realize that it is probably good that there is an
alternative to 
breastfeeding. That is not to say that there aren't individuals from all
walks of 
life who wish to breastfeed and are successful, but there are those for whom
this would not (and should not) ever be the choice."

Can you clarify please, as I do not know who you are referring to?  Are you
saying that there are some parents who have shortcomings that are serious
enough that make it preferable that their babies receive formula?  There are
those  for whom breastfeeding should not ever be a choice?  Who do you mean?

I am honestly not sure I know what you mean here. Thank you for clarifying.

Kathleen
