Yikes how disappointing. Send the literature with a note to the
Breastfeeding Work Group at the AAP send it c/o Larry Gartner and ask him

the good news . . . "Infant formulas are a safe alternative to breast milk,"
says dr. barton d. schmitt, professor of pediatrics at the university of
colorado school of medicine and director of general consultative services at
the children's hospital of denver. in his book, YOUR CHILD'S HEALTH (that's
how they printed it), he states - "bottle feeding can provide your child
with
all the emotional benefits and many of the health benefits of breastfeeding.
bottle-fed babies grow as rapidly and can be as happy as breastfed
babies.">>
