Hello Lactnetters,
I, also, listened to the news report on 20/20 which was very negative
towards breastfeeding, and read the post in which suck/swallow and output
was never mentioned. It also showed Dr. Mom and LLL legal counsel I'm sure
out of context. It never mentioned how many babies get sick/and or die due
to formula however.
After the show, on the regular ABC news there was a more positive report
on breastmilk banks in the USA. At least, there was some balance, if
someone watched both segments.
In fact, someone called me to watch the show, who is my friend, but a
little negative towards breastfeeding, it was given a lot of negative ad
before it came on the air. There is a lot of misinformation given out,
sometimes it seems like an overwhelming task for LC's and LLL and other
committed people to counteract the negative information being presented to
the public.
That's all for now on my soapbox, I hope I made sense.
