I am a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, your comments on the preterm are spot on. We strive to promote and sustain breastfeeding in the NICU and default to donor milk for high risk infants whose mothers do not provide enough milk (or will not breastfeed). From a health professional standpoint we are constantly battling “BIG Formula”. Abbott labs the makers of Similac now have placed a label on their product called “Similac: for supplementation”. This is appalling to me, as we put so many hours into trying to get our mothers to breastfeed and discourage supplementation to find this on the Market. On the flip side, I think its a sign the formula companies are nervous about the world wide movement to promote and support breastfeeding. The culture IS changing thanks to people like you. Heck, even the Kardashian sisters breastfeed their babies. Maybe we can encourage them to be spokespersons for breastfeeding, they can sell anything!

That would really change the way our culture thinks about it and responds to breastfeeding problems.
