Susan, I so appreciate your posts -your explanations are amazing. I hope that it's my frustration which was most evident in my posts -nothing else. Working in a state with the highest C-section rate in the US and according to the latest CDC report card - 38% of our newborns receive formula under 2days old -well what can I say? So our challenges abound! The vitamin /mineral supplementation is just one more issue to deal with now. I wish we could just "keep it simple" but as you pointed out - it's not that simple.
