Ok, we need to get back to debating - so I typed "formula is evil" into Google & found most were saying,

Not all LLL members feel the "ick" factor WRT M2M donations.

Some drugs doctors do know are harmful, even without looking at Hale. The one's widely known to cause serious problems will be listed as causing serious problems in Hale too>>


If you had read my post about what me taking vicodin and an anti-inflamatory, then you would know this isn't true.

Let me clarify, I wasn't saying they felt the ick factor - I was saying they have concerns reflected in their stated policy (the LLL not each individual Leader), whereas Lee's concerns were represented by her "ick" statement. However, they both have concerns. If the LLL has concerns, not surprising that mothers would also have concerns.

I said some doctors, not your doctor. I also mean some drugs, not all drugs.

Just wanted to correct a little math issue.


I *believe* that the original statement was a 300% INCREASE in ear infections.

<< I have NEVER heard anyone associate their child's illness to being formula fed.>>


Well, then let me be the first. My oldest was combo-fed for 3w, then FF. He never thrived on formula. He was hospitalized at 6w with pneumonia, resulting from the bronchial problems his formula gave him. He had 10 ear infections in 10 months.


By 6mths old, the doctor had done a ton of testing, found his immune system just above the "boy in the bubble", I had to stop giving him formula

My statement in post 347: "Medication I had to take, that was not safe and does transfer into bmilk where there was no alternative medication." Her question in post 353: "Did your physician and/or you consult Hale?"


Assumption: That I don't know that the primary *way* doctors and LCs determine if a medication is tested, safe, unsafe, or not known to be safe or unsafe is by consulting Hale.


Well, perhaps the primary way doctors *SHOULD* be determining the safety of a medication is by reading Hale.

Actually, it sounds like there were other issues that made formula intolerable for your child.

<< Is there a blood test to see if someone was FF vs BF?>>


Not at the moment, but it is within the realm of possibility that one day there will be. Who knows?


Right now, they can open you up and check your stomach lining - even at 70y old, they could tell during a surgery (wish I could find that reference again, sorry). Of course, such a surgery would
