"So is mother's milk, something that's also making a comeback. Formula companies are working overtime sending out samples to expectant mothers. "

And pediatricians are working overtime trying to push formula on new mothers. It's very sad. (it's also a big pet peeve of mine since i'm a breastfeeding mother of a 10mth old baby and a 2yr old that was breastfed also) Any little problem a mother has with breastfeeding and the pediatrician starts recommending formula supplements which makes thinks worse instead of helping.

Bump from a past breastfeeding mom.

Companies didn't do anything but line their pockets when they introduced formula to third world countries. Mixing formula with contaminated water was common not to mention losing all the protective qualities of mother's milk.

Luckily more and more women are becoming educated about breastfeeding and encourging others to do it. Back in the mid '70's my mother set me on the right path.
