Hi All, You know, this may be one of those times that the ABM company gets sued for killing or at least seriously damaging a previously healthy baby. Let's hope so! People need to realize that ABM can kill, not only because of poor people who can't read the directions, have poor sanitary conditions, or no money so dilute, but also educated people who think that ABM is "Just as good as" breastmilk. We all know it's not, and I'm sure the ABM folks know it's not. But hey, they want their money, and breastfeeding takes away their profit margin. So let's push ABM on unsuspecting moms, dads and innocent babies (who, BTW don't have a choice in what they are fed), and not tell them the realities of ABM vs Breastmilk. Look folks, if God/Nature had wanted us to feed ABM to our kids, breasts would have been left out, or made non-functional, only to be used for sexual pleasure or to hold up a towel when you get out of the shower. But they were designed to feed our babies. Why can't you ABM people figure that out? Why do the ABM companies have to lie and say that ABM is so great? I can see only ONE reason for a baby to have ABM, and that is when it is MEDICALLY neccessary and NO human milk is available. Of course if this were the case, then the ABM companies would end up going out of business. To our ABM folks out there, what makes you think that ABM is just as good, or even almost as good as breastmilk? Why do your companies continue to violate the WHO Code on a daily basis? (My 10 yr old son makes gagging noises every day when he sees those ABM commercials and when he sees all the dolls with bottles full of "ABM") What happened to being ethical and moral? What happened to giving babies the best (which is NOT ABM)? Why do these companies spout BF friendliness while giving POOR BF info in their little handbooks. You say you want moms to BF, but the messages sent out, ever so subtly, are designed to encourage moms to feel insecure about the choice they have made so that they will end up ABM feeding their babies. WHY WHY WHY!!! I just don't get it. Why would these companies set out deliberately to do these things? If you ABM people could see the poor sick babies we BF folks have seen, the DRs have seen, the babies who are dying on ABM because they are allergic to every ABM there is, and their mothers can't get their milk supply up because they chose ABM feeding first, because the ABM company said it was just fine and safe and good and gentle like breastmilk and just as good (or almost as good) and now have to try and relactate, while taking care of a sick baby, just to try and save their babys life or at the very least get some breastmilk into the baby to improve their health, maybe if you saw "what's really going on" with this ABM you might have a change of heart. Maybe. Sorry everyone. I have to get off this box, don't I? I feel very strongly about this, can you tell? It is my wish that EVERYONE who is involved in hurting, maiming or killing a child anywhere in the world be prosecuted. This would include molesters, abusers, murderers and ANYONE else who knowingly harms a child. Anyone else come to mind? <hint hint> Just my $.02 ++++ worth. Jay who is VERY touchy about this after seeing so many sick babies fed ABM
