Hi, Heather,

Pretty much, what the article from the Brisbane Courier Mail said.  An ABA
counsellor at an ABA Breastfeeding Education Class (for pregnant couples)
is alleged to have said that "Breastfeeding was a little bit like Aids in
that it undermines the immune system...(you can read it all)  In the class
was a reporter who had gone "under cover" to report on this.

The ABA counsellor has been stood down pending an internal inquiry, and a
social media hate fest on breastfeeding has been unleashed (any support is
welcome)  Mumma Mia has been particularly rabid.

Ironically 2 weeks ago it was reported that Nestle had changed the recipe
of its NAN formula and there were masses of reports that the formula had
been made ill from drinking the formula.  Nestle insisted that there was
no problem with their formula and that some babies just couldn't handle
it.  They gave parents a gift certificate as compensation and offered no
explanation or recall.

Any support for ABA who is welcome
