 Yikes!!  How about an episode where BFing and/or BM saves the day or
 better yet is the standard.  Demanding a baby die from formula is pretty
 extreme (IMO).  Sorry Patricia.  I love your posts but this one made me
 cringe. >>
Monique:

  dont want to make you cringe BUT careful research would show that the loss
of a bay from artificial feeding is prbably as likely as a bf baby dying of
dehydration...

    part of the problem is that parents to be will have an immediate gut
reaction from viewing not to bf... they will not want to ";take a chance" this
occured after the wall street journal article.

   What we want, I believe is for parents to become INFORMED consumers.

    You can die in the shower... you can also learn to reduce the risks...

     again, sorry for making you cringe.
