I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!

I never ever used formula food for mine. I breast fed for well over a year and when my husband asked me if I was going to front up to kindy to do the same, I stopped. Thereafter I used cups, ad no dummies. I also made food on one day and put it into containers for the week. Like you say, babies are not fragile.

You know, maybe mothers will begin to see that baby formula is factory food. It's profit-driven like everything else.

My SIL hated the notion of breast feeding, so she fed my niece formula milk. She kept having febrile convulsions and so they went from one formula to another in search of the right mix. It impacted er for a long time. I use her as an example because the specialist thought the convulsions were liked to the formula.
