Pat: You are so right that breastfeeding "education" by formula companies has no place in true breastfeeding promotion. Although most formula companies are much more subtle in their discouragement of breastfeeding than previously, I have a good example of complete misinformation: for all of us who know that the AAP recommends breast milk for 12 months with solids added at about 6 months, just check out the Ross Welcome Addition Club brochure. It states "During your baby's first year, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends - Breastfeeding for as long as possible.." Alicia. [log in to unmask]
