Babble readers have opinions, strong ones, about the recent decision by large hospitals around the country to stop providing formula in post-partum take-home bags. They range from the mild: "I think that sending people home with formula *does* jeopardize breastfeeding success," to the wild: "..nature is an illegal alien in the USA: until your friendly neighborhood
ob-gyn gets her deported for good, why not just line up for the
scheduled c-section?.."
Dina argues that she shouldn't have to "... be dying of cancer to feel like it's ok to formula feed my baby" while Jessica counters "News flash: BREAST IS BEST!!! It's absolutely the best, and formula manufacturers admit it!"
Next time I want to end a cocktail party on an opinionated/raucous dishes-throwing note, I'll remember to proclaim my support of hospitals handing out free formula.
