Went off to the grocery store today with casts of 1000s, and while I was  
paying for some meds, an older lady came up and asked the pharmacist for the  
Enfamil.  "They've pulled it all" he said, due to the problem with the baby 
 that died last week.  "Well, what am I supposed to do instead?" she  
asked.  Pharmacist said to call her pediatrician and ask what she should  use.  
Pharmacy tech that was ringing up my meds said, "She wouldn't have  this 
problem if she'd fed they way she was supposed to feed to start  with."  LOVED 
IT!
 
Turned out the baby was the grandson, and grandma was just babysitting for  
a couple of days and only had enough powdered formula to get thru the next  
feeding.  Pharmacist correctly directed her to the ready-to-feed....and  
then I explained to her that no powdered formula was sterile, and all was  
risky....figured since she looked to be about my age, she probably wouldn't  
*hear* any comments about breastfeeding, though of course I could think of all 
 the things I COULD have said.
 
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all 4000 of my nearest and dearest  
friends!
