Hi, Heather, Pretty much, what the article from the Brisbane Courier Mail said. An ABA counsellor at an ABA Breastfeeding Education Class (for pregnant couples) is alleged to have said that "Breastfeeding was a little bit like Aids in that it undermines the immune system...(you can read it all) In the class was a reporter who had gone "under cover" to report on this. The ABA counsellor has been stood down pending an internal inquiry, and a social media hate fest on breastfeeding has been unleashed (any support is welcome) Mumma Mia has been particularly rabid. Ironically 2 weeks ago it was reported that Nestle had changed the recipe of its NAN formula and there were masses of reports that the formula had been made ill from drinking the formula. Nestle insisted that there was no problem with their formula and that some babies just couldn't handle it. They gave parents a gift certificate as compensation and offered no explanation or recall. Any support for ABA who is welcome Barb IBCLC Australia On 30/08/12 11:25 AM, "LACTNET automatic digest system" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >Aus lactnetters: what's happened here? *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
