loud and clear: since breast-feeding provides the most benefits for
mother and child, for those who are capable of doing so, it should
be the feeding method of choice. Easily digested research and
personal stories in support of breast-feeding and its importance to
mothers and their children. -Kirkus Reviews Formula companies make
