Kathleen Huggins asks the good question regarding powdered formula. And if so, why then do the breastfeeding gift packages have powdered formula in them....and if so then we need to address the issue of formula for the ones who think they will do both by letting them know they will be wasting big bucks by buying the formula because it only keeps for 48 hours....did this with a few families and they quickly took to the concept of no formula ....since they really were on a tight budget. Hey I am for approaching exclusive breastfeeding from any aspect that can make them think the process through and eliminate the formula.
