The gist of his talk(which as it turned out was subsidised by a formula company) was that you should take baby off "regular formula" and put him/her on this company's new "diarrhea formula" during episodes of diarrhea. I finally spoke up and asked if he felt the need to take a baby off the breast in this situation. He capitulated that it wasn't necessary to take baby off the breast and at the end of his talk reiterated that fact. I would suppose that we should collectively write letters to the editor asking the same question and more importantly-- why do they focus on non-breastfed children? Irked in Jacksonville--Liz Flight
