Hello all,

On the pediatric chat this week, Dr. Daniel Hirsch mentioned that the May
issue of Parenting magazine has an article about how the "breastfeeding
police" are forcing women to breastfeed (harassing I think is the word he
used) and that in any case breastfeeding is not better than formula.  I have
not seen it, and I refuse to buy Parenting magazine, because it is crap and
has always had formula ads (even before this article).  However, I think
that we should all make an effort to respond to it.  Get it at the library,
or buy one single copy and photocopy the article so that others can respond
to it.
