Hi, >No one asks the other side of the question, is it OK to formula feed this baby? Until you mention the magic words "formula anaphylaxis" :-^ When my second child was in NICU, I got nagged to death by the nurses to give her a bottle of formula to "give me a break" (I can't pump to save my life). So I casually mentioned that there had been a couple of cases of formula anaphylaxis in my family. No one ever suggested formula again! :-) -- Anna (Mummy to Emma, born 17th Jan 1995, Alice, born 11th Sept 1996, ??? due 18th April 1998) Email: [log in to unmask] Web Page: http://www.ratbag.demon.co.uk/anna
