Lactnetters; The Lifestyle Editor of the local newspaper is breastfeeding her baby. She had found some bf information that I had put together, "The Benefits of Breastfeeding/Hazards of Formula Feeding". (I had written it as part of the LC course I had taken.)The Editor wanted to feature LLL in her article, and include the information from my paper. A mother from our LLL group was photographed with her infant, and the color shot filled a third of the full page article. She had been recently kicked out of KMart for bf her infant. The manager told her it was "gross and illegal". He also told the reporter that she had "just whipped it out..." (Which in Utah, that's legal to do if bf.) Although the article was full of positive bf information, my personal story, and a bit about the above mother, the reporter also interviewed a local dr. He confirmed what I had said about international fatalities from formula feeding. He said it was because of the lack of clean water, and scrimping on formula mixtures. Do Third World mothers cry less than we do when a baby dies? Then the last paragraph...."...he said mothers don't have to feel badly if they don't nurse their child to his/her third year or longer." !!! (Even our famous K. Auerbach had her name in our article, but sorry, the name wasn't spelled correctly. You know how the press is...) So much for quotes!
