Heather Neil raises pertinent questions in the matter of the influence
of maternal diet on the quality of her milk.
One thing that has never, ever been demonstrated to my knowledge is
whether milk produced by a mother on a sub-optimal diet gives poorer
nutrition to her child than any breastmilk substitute would. It's
hard to imagine a maternal diet that would cause ANY breastmilk
substitute to surpass the mother's own milk in suitability for her
child.
Of course there are extreme circumstances with environmental pollution
disasters but that isn't maternal diet, either.
