Feeding a Mark of Bad Motherhood?""

Very interesting article. I don't think bottle-feeding is a mark of  
bad motherhood - just that many mothers make a very poor choice, even  
though they are clearly "informed" of the benefits.   I think  
sometimes it just boils down to the fact that some mothers are just  
too self-centered and selfish to breastfeed their own children.  And  
certainly, there are breastfeeding mothers who are not "good" mothers  
either (but at least their babies are getting optimal nourishment and  
immunities.)
