Anna,

I think many babies in third world countries that are formula fed do not die as a result of the formula, but as a result of the pollution and bacteria in the water that is used to mix the formula and 'sterilize' the bottles/nipples. The same formula is used in the US and babies do just fine with it.

I am absolutely pro breastfeeding,and agree that formula is cow's milk based that is meant for baby cows, but my mom refused to nurse my 2 siblings and myself, and I feel we came out just fine, smart, healthy, etc.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
