How big is your youth group?

That is pretty much our situation as well. Our chruch is tiny, and we hate to leave it, but we are coming to the conclusion that our kids need more opportunities to be with other kids. -
I don't know what the absolute truth is on the dental decay issue. As the mom of 4 children, 2 who were breast fed until shortly after the first birthday, and 2 were bottle fed formula. I just hate threads that go on and on bashing fromula feeding. I was a former breast feeding snob, and have been very much amazed by how healthy my 3 formula fed babies have been. Frankly, they have had fewer colds and no ear infections. They were adopted and were placed with us at very short notice as infants. While I considered adoptive breast feeding, the short notice, less than 24 hours, and the fact that adoptive breast feeding rarely produces enough milk, led me to bottle feed. I have been asked numerous times by other homeschooling moms, and La Leche League members, if I am worried that my children will not be as intelligent, and am interrogated about their health. My 3 yr. old started reading on his own at age 18 mos., much to my surprise. DD is almost 12 mos. and already has a wonderful vocabulary. So no I'm not worried. Sorry if anyone is offended by the vent. Formula feeding is not criminal nor cruel. It is in fact necessary in some cases, and those of us who have had to formula feed one or more children are thankful that there are decent formulas available. ;) None of my children have had dental carries, except for my 2nd child (breast fed). I am told he had soft enamel, and I burshed, or wiped their teeth after nursing or bottle feeding. Carry on. :001_smile:

I grew up in Caterbury, but lived in the Madison and Clinton area for about 10 years. Seven years ago, my husband was laid off from his job, and we ended up in NJ. I'd move back in a heartbeat. I still go back to visit friends and family several times each year. I have also lived in Barrington, RI, Wenham, Magnolia, and Salem, MA. That was all before we spent 5 yrs. in Ithaca NY. I miss New England!
