Do FFers know this risk?

Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."

>>With all due respect, why are you here? You've reiterated over and over again that you don't approve of the way the debate progresses here, and you don't seem to be willing or interested in debating the actual subject matter beyond dropping opinions you can't support with anything other than emotions. So, really, why waste your time if you find this such a negative place to be?>>
With all due respect, I think someone can have a few disagreements with the way the debate board is going and still have respect for the debators. I also think that even after reading the literature that people can disagree with EN and still understand why others might engage in that behaviour. My mother is a highly educated woman who does not understand EN even though I did present the facts. She also does not see the need to push breastfeeding and really believes it is a mother's choice. I have talked to her on numerous occasions and we have agreed to disagree while enjoying a rather long 2 hour debate out walking one day.
I think anyone who wants to be here and debate should, even if we do not always understand why.
Now I will go back to my usual back seat and listen place...;)
***And yes, it's a debate board for both sides, not sure why you're asking me for clarification. ***
****Because what you did WAS "backpedalling". You initially made a statement that appeared to mean you had seen "hundreds" of women nursing older kids in your salon every month. I asked over and over again whether that was really true, and what you meant to say, and you didn't take any of those opportunities to clarify what you actually meant, until I finally pinned you down later on. Then you started saying that wasn't what you meant, and that I hadn't understood your words. Turns out a bunch of other people read your words exactly as I did. Funny, that.****
It NEVER was what I meant, I really don't

I agree with you, but I don't get this sense from busy-stepmom.

Which is fine, but do that have to go on to declare something other people are doing to be "ick"? That doesn't show respect in my book. It also doesn't show me that she "understands" why others would do it. She herself said she "believes that we believe in it", which sounds a mite patronizing to me, like saying "I believe that you believe the sky is yellow".

I agree...IF they actually debate. I don't see a lot of that going on.
>>Yes but you weren't talking about a 7-10 year old who's at a normal stage of cognitive development. The word can be used in a sentence in a positive way or a negative way. How do you expect her to take being told she's "rather egocentric"? Do you expect she's really going to want to hear what *else* you have to say after that?<<
All right.

Oh, so it's OUR fault that you wrote something unclearly. Whatever. You're giving us way too much credit. Just say what you mean and mean what you say, and things will be a whole lot easier.

"Maybe we'll come across a topic you are not familiar with and you believe your experience to be correct and I can call you rather egocentric, I'll know for later that you won't mind or consider it a negative thing."
Maybe Stacia wouldn't mind because she knows the meaning of the word.
