If the US govt ended free formula thru WIC AND strongly stated WHY THEY WERE DOING SO [because bf is so far superior], and had tv ads and radio ads and public transportation ads and billboards about it etc, I think moms would choose bf. If not they could buy the formula or buy cows milk and mix up a homemade formula like I was fed on (evaporated milk and karo syrup) which probably is not so much different than formula anyway. [could this explain my poor eyesight, history of earaches, tonsillitis, allergies, etc etc???] Laurie Wheeler, RN, MN, IBCLC Violet Louisiana, s.e.
