What's troubling is that there is no rational discussions, its always "breast is best" or "emotional impact statement here"
Of course we can all agree that in ideal circumstances, breast milk is the best thing for babies, its unique biologically adapted (even between feeds) formula is impossible to mass manufacture and biologicals like leukocytes are impossible to add in.
However, if the mother does not produce enough milk, then failure to thrive concerns take over, supplement.
If mother is post partum, dad can take over and supplement.
People just eat the tagline these days instead of doing a basic cost/benefit analysis and thinking a little bit for themselves.
Add to that the seeming acceptance of bad science and you end up with anti-vaxxers.
