The following is an e mail that I received today , I am posting it here
WITH the writers permission.......

Hi Cindy,

I was referred to the articles by Dr. Jack from a friend who subscribes
to
LactNet.  I used many references to several articles in a post I made to
the host of a forum called Child Health.  The host is asserting that
formula is the equivalent to breastmilk, and that either "method" for
feeding a child is fine. She also doesn't buy into the idea that
breastfeeding can occur even if the mother is taking medictions.

So I'd like your assistance in pointing out this forum
to others like me who disagree that formula is anywhere close to
breastmilk, or that making mothers feel guilty about not choosing to
breastfeed is part and parcel to subscribing to the idea that breastmilk
is
a Good Thing. :)

This forum is on a free service, but you need to register a username

you can read or post there.
http://forums.delphi.com/m/main.asp?sigdir=CHILD  You'll find the
messages
I'm referring to right away as the subject is titled "Bottle feeding vs.
Breast feeding."  There's also a pediatrician on staff, but he hasn't
stepped up to the plate yet to offer his views.

Hope to see you there!

MISinformation!
