Mary Lofton(Loftus?) at LLLI told me once that ABM companies "promote" bf
because studies have shown that people who start out bf tend to be more
health conscious and use abm significantly longer than those who start
out on abm and go to straight cow's milk or other foods sooner. They
certainly are not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They
reinforce the idea that only tiny newborns breastfeed and then use ABM
into late infancy or even toddlerhood. ABM companies never talk about the
benefits of long term nusring - do they?
