I do, too. However, some are missing the point of the law. It's not about shame, judgement, or support/non-support. It's about making hospitals accountable to quit doing the formula companies...
ladylabor, thanks for your input. However, it's not about not supporting or shaming formula moms but hospitals encouraging/endorsing formula to the benefit of the companies' profit at a vulnerable...

Wow, this thread is great. Thanks all for the the input. BTW, would you then not advise a single man to enter nursing? Just wondering, but I've been in many of those situations

Wow, thanks queenbeelws for bringing this thread back from the dead :) Also thanks to the other posters for your 2 cents. Shortly after I started this thread I found a few threads actually about this,...
A friend of mine is in the process of doing this right now as he has expressed some of the sentiment of the OP. However, he has it a little easier because he's an EU citizen (i.e. no immigration),...
