Beth,
As a mother of a child who nursed to 13 months, and as a professional
writer who specializes in breastfeeding articles, I have to say your
message was right on target.  Your advice on how to introduce formula and
what children need from milk are both correct.

On a side note, both my kids like the Edensoy, but LOVE Rice Dream.  Justin
(16 months) also goes through about a quart a day.  I feel lucky that both
my kids tolerate grains and soy!

Thanks for posting such good and accurate information. :)
