I would also suggest that very few mothers choose not to breast-feed solely for convenience. Are you a recent parent or are you otherwise directly experienced in witnessing the choices mothers make? I ask not only because the statement is little more than random opinion if you are not, and because I'm surprised that someone who is experienced would come to such a conclusion. It isn't the obvious path in a country where women return to work 6 weeks after giving birth. the studies are not as conclusive as I would accept as fact. Then you are self-selecting to support your own bias. The other link you provided in this thread made pretty clear assertions regarding this topic. The research is pretty strong. Stronger than most other areas. While that doesn't mean it is perfect, it does mean that all signs point to the fact that formula is not an equal replacement in certain key ways.
