or is anyone else concerned about the whole contaminated Milk crisis in China? It’s a little concerning when formula that is fed to babies is filled with some dangerous nasty chemical. The scariest thing I read in the paper is that formula companies in third world countries actually promote formula as being superior to breastmilk and as a result many of these women never breastfeed! A horrible, situation.

Not just you! Have a look at http://www.babymilkaction.org for more info on illegal formula promotion in ALL countries, not just Third World ones. ANY promotion of breastmilk substitutes undermines breastfeeding by definition. And see my site, http://www.howbreastfeedingworks.com for my thoughts on this and lots of other related stuff.
