Penny and all Lactnetters,

Well call me incredulous!!!!  Just when I thought I've heard everything it
gets topped.  Who comes up with this stuff and how much money do they get
paid for such nonsense (more than I do I know!).

I have a simple, inexpensive alternative - PUT BABY TO BREAST! (Yes I'm
shouting).

Now I have to admit that this would be a great advancement for mothers who
are medically unable to breastfeed but we all know it would be advertised as
"the closest thing to breastmilk".  Oh, that's right, they already say that
don't they.
