It was the public reaction (to the cover with the baby and breast) that shocked and appalled. I was actually quite happy with the magazine for publishing that cover. And really, among mainstream magazines, it is one of the better ones, if I remember right. (They stopped sending it to me a while back, I guess because my baby got past the target age.)

My husband finally took to throwing both in the trash to keep my blood pressure from going through the roof twice every month. (I run low normally!) They are a collection of formula ads w/ the occasional crib ad. I think they both deserve derision. While they occasionally get an article by Dr. Sears or someone else, they are as useful and factual as Ms. Murkoff's What to Expect crap.
