I took this survey, and you should, too.
I have long admired the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the organization conducting this survey. I’ve been reading their publication, Nutrition Action, since I was 14. They bring relevant, interesting nutrition information to the public to help us eat better, and they take food manufacturers to task for deceptive advertising, labeling and health claims with lawsuits and media attention.
Now they are investigating infant formula marketing.
If you have had a baby in the past 4 years, your response is needed. Take a minute to take this survey on formula marketing.
They didn’t ask anything about how MUCH you use the formula, which strikes me as odd. My daughter had formula in the first two weeks before she would latch on (to supplement what I was pumping after every attempt at feeding), but then no formula until after she was six months, and very little until I stopped pumping when she was eight months … now she feeds directly from me morning, lunch break and multiple times in the evening, but does have formula some at daycare – anywhere from 2-6 ounces per day.
