Dear All

I have been thinking about the required labelling on formula cans stating
that breastmilk is best for babies. Thats good but I wonder if the term
should be breastfeeding or breastmilk or both. Does the use of the word
breastmilk make it too easy for the formula manufacturers to intimate that
their product is as good as the breastmilk product? Would the difference in
wording place different empahsis on breastfeeding to women? Would be
interested in comments.

Kind Regards
