I have been trying to figure out the "problem" with the carseat or smoking
analogy for some time. I truly believe that artificial milks are severely
overused to the point of being considered the "normal" thing to do. However,
the number one rule is "feed the baby". If I use the comparison of formula to
smoking then what happens when the baby needs to be supplemented (due to
our USA birthing system and difficulty with access to donor human milk) with
formula? I seem to recall cigarettes being recommended by physicians
to "clear and open the lungs" in the not too distant past. (Today is my
birthday. Guess I am older than I think.)
In other words, unlike other examples dare I say that there may be a
legitimate medical or nutritional use for infant formula. Therin lies the rub.
Just my thoughts as I follow this thread. No flames please. I know formula is
bad!
