Most of the mothers I know breast-fed their babies.....
Most women can successfully breastfeed if they
wish......I'd really love to see the companies that
make baby formula put out of business by more
and more women choosing to nurse their babies.....
but the aim seems to be to convince women that
formulas are as good for their babies as breastmilk.
Formulas are a blessing for those few women who
cannot breastfeed for one reason or another......
but formulas will never be as perfect for an infant
as the infant's own mother's milk.......I hope.......

From where are they obtaining the two fatty acids they
are bragging about?   From plant fats?  From animal
fats?   Does anyone know?
