Just thought I would share

I LOVED this ... I thought you ladies would enjoy it too.

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."

Pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject!
Where did you find it?

Breastfeeding definitely instilled some body love in me--and body love was totally absent before I got pg...bravo!

[Momtwice]

That is from Dr. Christiane Northrup, OB-GYN's book
Women's Bodies Women's Wisdom....I think...isn't it?

Hey-
I popped the first few words into google and the first link came up with this
http://www.tenetti.org/mks/Breastfee...utrition.shtml
it credits Northrop with the quote, but did not list any references for it.
