Well explained, Magda.
See todays Guardian
http:www.guardian.co.uk
for a (mostly) okay piece about bf and pollution. I say mostly, because
although it makes the good point that breast milk is tested as a useful way
of seeing what contaminants are in the human body it
* only mentions water(used to make up formula) as another source of
pollution, not the cows milk itself
* says we do not need to worry as the calculations were based on a
lifetime's exposure to breast milk ie if you were breastfed all your life,
this is the amount of toxins you'd get - and as most babies are bf for only
6 weeks and a year at most, it's okay. Hmmmmmph.
But remember this is the same paper - and the same section, too, the
Parents pages - that ran Julie Birchill's gruesome piece on the
'breastfeeding nazis' in May, so let's say they're making amends.....
