"Bottle-feeding: You can't afford it."  Followed by figures on dollar cost
per year of various types of formula, average number of extra doctor's
visit, pharmacy prescriptions, days missed from work, nights missed of
sleep, etc....

"Would you do something on purpose to make your child an average of 10 IQ
points dumber?  Millions of mother in the US do every day....they feed their
infants formula."

Sorry, these are anti-formula slogans, not pro-breastfeeding ones.  I'm just
in an ANTI mood tonight, or something.


"You want the best for your child.  You always put him in his car seat.  You
always check to make sure his diaper is clean and dry.  You get him his
immunizations on time.  Most importantly, you breastfeed."

"Immunizations are important for your child's health.  And the first and
most important immunization isn't at the health department or your doctor's
office -- it comes from you.  Breastfeed, it's baby's first immunization!"

"Breastfeeding.  It's not just for Third World women anymore."  Sorry, that
was tacky....


Loved the post on bread pain, but laughing so hard let to a stitch in my
side -- would this be referred pain, or phantom pain, or yeast-pain-by-e-mail??
