OK, I don't think anyone really denies that it is ultimately every mom's decision.

"But that doesn't necessarily make formula closer to bm than evap milk and karo syrup."

Sure it does! Two steps further takes one closer to China.

"One step closer to the moon, anyone?"

Oh. You addressed that. But it IS still closer.

"And, as Fio pointed out, there is absolutely no proof that babies do better on commercial formulas than they do on the homemade concoctions."

Maybe it's not *ENOUGH* closer to be measurable while still being closer?

Besides ignorant militant pro-BFers, who considers FFing a "poor" diet?


I certainly hope you're not referring to anyone who posts on this board.

Well, I'm darn proud of the fact that I gave her what BM I could!!
