i went t the store to grab some extra breast pads and milkbags and they happen to be on the same aisle as the formula. i got curious. i wanted to see the packaging and see if they were pressuring women to formula feed with marketing. i was very pleased to see that some of the major formula companies did not claim that formula was "as good as breastmilk" and even stated on the packaging that breastmilk was best. they did mention the formula was designed to be modeled after breastmilk, but it wasnt so misleading. now all mothers who read packaging can know breast IS best!
i was sad to see that one major company did not follow suit, at least in the three types i saw on the shelving. hopefully Similac decides to put something on their packaging stating the health benefits of breastmilk as well...
