Could you put in a few extra lines before the video...can't read your typing ;)

I can't watch videos at work, so could you give a little synopsis of this. I read the website but it just confused me...is it a documentry that is coming out or is there a tour?

The rates of fomula fed babies is absolutely insane. Seriously there are a handful of babies who drink their mother's milk at Avery's daycare at one point he was the only one in his group of 6. I honestly produce enough to feed another (or more) child(ren) and that is exactly why I donate.

Well, sadly it makes sense. I mean in the hospital if it takes you more than like 20 minutes (sometimes even less, they only gave me five) to figure out how to breast feed, the hospital staff will really insist on giving formula, even if you have the milk. My sister in law has no problems breastfeeding, but she will only do it for the first two weeks because her doctor has her convinced that formula and breastmilk are created equally. So of course she opts for formula because she thinks it's easier. What most people don't know is that most breastfed babies have a lower incidence of colic and health related issues. I can't even begin to tell you the problems I had with my son because he was on formula. Don't get me wrong, I think formula is a great invention and if you don't have enough milk or you can't nurse and there are no milk banks nearby, then it is a good option. However, I think that it is used way too often.
