Perhaps we should all remain deathly silent if this book is ever published 
so they don't get their publicity. Hee Hee

oh yeah thats a bewdy:))

Sally was waiting at the grocery check-out with her formula cans when the woman in line behind her told her, "You know, formula is just not as good for babies as breastmilk." Another incident: Margaret was bottlefeeding her son in the park when another mother sat down beside her and began to nurse her toddler. The nursing mother asked if Margaret had ever nursed her child. Yes, Margaret answered (though somewhat stunned to be asked by a stranger about her personal life), adding, "I switched to formula at six weeks when I had to go back to work.". The nursing mother immediately told Margaret that she could have expressed milk while at work and that it was too bad she had given up nursing so soon.

what a shame these bottle-feeding mothers didnt think that these other mothers may have been offering genuine concern her & her child.

If breastfeeding needs so many books to cover the subject fully, perhaps the reason is that there are a great many problems associated with breastfeeding, and the nursing mother should expect to need much expert advice. Instead of working her way through a pile of books trying to find the right one to help with her specific breastfeeding problem, a new mother would welcome a book that offers a simpler alternative, Bottlefeeding Without Guilt.

anybody else see the total irony in this statement? (actually its quite funny). should we apply the same logic to the wealth of literature, videos, movies etc ad nauseum on sex? (substitute 'breastfeeding' with 'sex',  'nursing mother' with 'virgin', and 'Bottlefeeding without guilt' with 'Instruction manual for Vibrator'.

Because of its controversial thesis, that bottlefeeding is just as good in many ways as breastfeeding, the book will certainly attract the attention (and arouse the ire) of organized breastfeeding advocates. It's to be expected that Bottlefeeding Without Guilt will be sharply attacked in certain quarters, thus generating much publicity for the book. The author is willing to go head to head with any breastfeeding leaders in the media in defense of the choice of the bottle over the breast.

Breastfeeding has become something of a sacred cow (bad pun intended)-and anytime a sacred cow is gored, people take notice. The subject is one that the talk shows might very much like to milk (another bad pun intended).

hmmmmm, yes I see......
