Formula risks...I believe



  • Formula has risks that are unacceptable if breastmilk is available
  • Formula has risks but it's OK to choose it if you understand the risks
  • Formula has risks but it's OK to choose it even if you DONT understand the risks
  • Formula has some risks but they are overblown
  • Formula has risks but so does breastmilk, and the risks are about the same
  • Formula doesn't have any risks
  • Other, please explain

I'm getting quite a chuckle from the complete lack of *any* facts being bandied about... ROTFL!!!

"I've read much of this thread, and I still haven't seen anyone connect formula to any one or any several illnesses at all. Deb provided an empty, meaningless list of illnesses that she could not in her wildest dreams connect to forumla." (sic)

Ah. So you've not bothered your pretty little head with any of the scientific (schmientific) studies so generously linked to the board then.

You've based your entire "debate" on *just* the posts of the pro-breastfeeding posters.

Sigh.

"There just may be a God. I am so happy for your son/daughter. The idea of addictive nicotine passing into the bloodstream of an innocent baby really disturbed me to the core. Not that you should care, but some of the behaviors disclosed on this board are highly disturbing to me as a mother. And their disclosures often allow me to take a break from this board too. "

If'n ya can't beat 'em with truth, beat 'em over the head with an ad hominem.

Real classy, babe.

Dear sehorse~

I was truly hoping that since your stance is that FF has no risks that you would be able to provide information. I am honestly interested in reading the facts in regards to this topic. There were links to AAP articles, not just a list. I am hoping that you can do the same, since this debate is continuing. It is not MY job to do YOUR research on YOUR opinion.

You have also made some accusations that there are women on this board that are doing things that are appalling. I would hope that you would have the courtesy to stay away from blanket statements and address these individuals directly.

Cheers!

Why then would I care to save face?>>

You tell me! I'm not the one going down in flames and desperately trying to find a way out of the inferno.

How about this quote from a formula company: "Experts agree breastmilk is best for babies. Not only is it the most nutritionally complete food your newborn will ever eat, but it also benefits your baby in other ways–some that will last a lifetime."
