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

He sure is, Fio! No damage there. We have a great relationship, and (for the benefit of lurkers) his relationship with his father is fantastic too.

Just because a baby is unable to breastfeed, the risks don't suddenly disappear. They are just, well, worth the risk because the alternative is even riskier. Starvation, pretty risky in my book! ;-)


Aw, Mary, you did it again!

Hi everyone.

  Event.observe($('fullSizedImage'), 'load', function(event) { pageTags.addTagListToImg('fullSizedImage', ); });

Well thank goodness the extended nursing of Kevin hasn't damaged him in any way.

Anyone else notice that the common denominator in our threads that get shut down is wychamson/sehorse?

Babies have been fed through other means besides the breast for centuries, some successful some not.

It's unfortunate that it happens?

"Just because there are benefits to breastfeeding (and I totally agree that there are) that doesn't automatically make them risks or negatives to formula feeding."


There are no benefits to bfing.
