Hello,

I am an LLL Leader in Wisconsin who's been lurking for several months,
learning a lot!  Never thought I'd have much to add to these enlightened
conversations, but this comment from Michelle Scott is one I can't refrain
from responding to:

Don't I wish!  I work in a birth-3 home visiting program, and hear regularly
from formula feeding mothers that their doctors have instructed them to
begin cereal as early as 2 months, because baby is consuming 32 ounces of
formula daily, and seeming to want more.  AND, they tell the mothers now
their babies will sleep through the night . . .  21st century, here we come,
less educated than before.
