This ad showed up at the top of a bulletin board for mothers that I frequent. What it should say is: Breastfeeding + Supplementing = Weaning. The same companies who come up with this advertising are the ones that send Formula Reps (think Drug Company Reps, only slimier) to wine and dine doctors. If you are a doc who wasn't given any training or facts about breastfeeding in medical school, and then you get perks and meals from an attractive man or woman in a suit who tells you all about the benefits of their formula, what's going to happen? You end up on a "health" channel telling new moms that sometimes you "need to supplement".
Do new moms really need FREE tips, FREE advice, and FREE product samples from a FORMULA company? What are the tips and advice? Switch as soon as possible from your healthy, free source of infant milk to our less-healthy, expensive stuff?
