“...common sense tells us that mother’s milk is the best nutrition for her infant...” And it is very sad that less than half of US mothers breast feed their babies.

What percentage of American mothers work outside the home?

What percentage of American mothers lack an adequate supply?

Teach mothers what is the best way, but keep government & "NGO" regulations & guilt trips out of it. In some cases, supplemental feeding is essential.

“Guilt trips” ??? Women that work outside the home can and do breast feed. Women that do not produce enough milk can still breast feed some.

Many women just choose not to breast feed because the idea of breasts being something other than cosmetic appendages is an almost alien concept.

American rates are back up. One study showed a 51 percent rate even for six month old babies. Here in the South we have a lower rate.
