My mom got me a sub_script_ion to Parenting last year

individual author. Yes, I'll give them that, at least, though there sure are a lot of formula/bottle ads!  I would have hoped that having Sears on the panel would make it more BF-heavy, but alas.  I suppose that's fairly unavoidable for a mainstream mag in America.  I did tell my mother I'd rather have Mothering

make it more BF-heavy, but alas. I had read an article that Dr. Sears wasn't immune to the handouts that formula companies were giving. He accepted them at some point. I don't know if he still does or not or when that occured. Everyone has their price it seems.  I personally like Parenting magazine, although I don't really have a use for it anymore as my girls are older now. It certainly is better than Child.

Yes, I'll give them that, at least, though there sure are a lot of formula/bottle ads! This is true.  But have you noticed how the bottle ads all are set up to tout how much like breastfeeding Brand X bottles are, and how it's therefore easier to switch back and forth?  And most of the bottle ads, unlike the formula ads, show a *father* giving the bottle, or don't actually show the bottle being *used* at all; several of them show or imply a working mother who is presumably pumping regularly.  Even the Evenflo ads sing the praises of their breast pump

if he still does or not or when that occured. This is true. IIRC, it was a couple of years ago and he had banner ads for a formula company on his website. Guess everyone has bills to pay!
