What SHOULD go into the decision (m)

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

Absolutely no reason to be sorry! I completely understood why you asked that! I too IRL know many husbands who may "resent" (so to say) their s/o for wanting to (not just BF) but SAH in general! I don't think many men realize what a FT job it is to SAH with a child!! as you said too!
I am lucky to have a DH who is so active in the baby and my olders life and to be so active in the housework as well! But he fact that he does have alone time with the kids, and just the baby sometimes gives him the chance to see what it takes!! lol It seems many of the posters here have great DH/SO as well!
But again no need to be sorry, I just wanted to clear things up - cause my response to your question got so thrown out of whack!! but that is message boards for you... lol
>>So, a diet comprised entirely of substances containing corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils is, what? Good? Hmmmmm...... I guess Mickey D's isn't half bad then. <<
OK...this is why some people may refer to you in the negative way as militant. You just labeled what I give my daughter as nutritionally sound as McDonald's....Please do not back pedal, as we can all tell that you were referring to formula. I take this rather personally, as it is not the truth. I really would like you to present a study that says that Formula has the same nutritional value as McDonalds.
"OK...this is why some people may refer to you in the negative way as militant. "
And in them doing so, their posts get removed for violating TOS, gee... funny that...
"You just labeled what I give my daughter as nutritionally sound as McDonald's.."
What I said was:
"So, a diet comprised entirely of substances containing corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils is, what? Good? Hmmmmm...... I guess Mickey D's isn't half bad then. "
You disagree?
While I was in the process of finding links that said that formula is actually better than Karo+evap milk, it appears that it isn't being debated. So here are the interesting links I found, anyway.
Apparently, prior to 1980, some manufacturer of infant formula decided to omit salt (NaCl), a whole lot of babies got very sick, so the legislature (Al Gore included) created the Infant Formula Act of 1980, with an addendum in 1986, ensuring that no manufacturer could make major changes away from the ingredients that are already known to prevent serious injury to infants.
