Well our local paper picked up the Washington Post story and put it in the
health section it begins "Infants who continue to breast-feed beyond their
first three months are smaller and thinner at their first birthday than
international standards recommend, a new study says.  Alternatively, infants
who switch to formula at three months meet those one-year growth goals, the
study shows."...  If you read beyond that point you get to the part where
breastfeeding is still supported etc and quotes Kathryn Dewey correctly, but
the damage has been done!!!!

You would almost think the formula co's had paid the reporter to write it
that way. Oh well another letter to the editor.
