I have finally got around to knee-jerk response whenever someone demands documentation to support breastfeeding as preferred/best/optimal feed for human babies. My response? Please provide me with at least 10 references that prove that artificial feeding (that IS what I call it!) does no harm. It has stopped the nay-sayers in their tracks. Funny how they are comfortable attacking breastfeeding but have nothing to provide to substantiate their position and when questioned they back off. Try it.
