Some types of baby formula in short supply, frustrating parents

[Ms. Toad]

8. Children who are curious about food are encouraged to nibble/taste test -

bu breast milk for a full year is recommended (that ws 30 years ago).

My daughter nursed for 18 months, but between about 11 months and 18 months nibbled her way to primarly eating table food.

But I had to fight my mother and mother-in-law off because they were afraid she would starve to death (slightly different reasons) from just breast milk. My MIL wanted to put oatmeal into her formula - thank goodness she couldn't think of a way to stuff my breasts with oatmeal - I don't recall her reasons, but they wre total nonsense. My mother had tried to nurse both my brother and I, and one of us was in the failure to thrive range before she gave up.
