Score one for the formula company. It's because they have convinced soooo many people, including doctors and other health care professionals that formula is as good as breastmilk. I think in the parents mind there is no difference between a good formula and breastmilk. Just as an example, I have showed my family time and time again the research behind why breastmilk is better and healthier if at all possible whenever they have given me a hard time about nursing. They litterally say, "I don't believe that." What can you do?--Christina Costa, LLLL, Broward County, FL _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
