At the risk of sounding naive, how is there a BFing debate? I know some people choose to formula feed but surely noone is actually ANTI BFing?? What are the negatives??? I'd better not listen or my radio might end up being thrown out the window...

ooooh im interested..... but i agree .... how can anyone acutally be ANTI-BFing, obviously there are choices of course, and some people who cant for various reasons, but what debate is there?
anyone give me a brief statement about what happened? and what the callers said?
Kellz - did you get through?

I don't get the radio here, can someone enlighten me on what's being discussed.
WTF Why would a source of food nutrition need to be prescribed.

I have to say I think it is ridiculous if they offered formula only by prescription. I feed my son on formula only cos I dried up and my dr said there wasn't anything I could do. Anyway if we were to have to go to the dr everytime it would be $15 for dr appt and prescription and then the formula appt of $22 EVERY WEEK. They have to understand that not everyone can breast feed, also my work don't offer a place to express so if I was to go back to work I wouldn't be able to express in the day.

If i hadnt had formula readily available, either I wouldnt "be here" (PND caused by all my BFing problems) or my son wouldve been hospitilised from too much weight loss from birth.
and we would have to pay $30 dr visit + $18 for formula. i think not.

yes it is about boosting bf'g number like in oz BUT I can see if this happened that there would be a lot of stressed out mums here.. I know if I had to go to the dr everytime I need formula then I would become stressed out especially when you can't get an appt when you need one too
