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

>>How do the babies fight off illness and infection without antibodies from the milk? (do NOT tell me anything about allergies ) Ffed babies are hospitalized more often in the first year than bfed babies. Find something that shows ffed babies do NOT get sick more often.<<

Ummmm....the same way that bfed babies fight off an illness or infection that it does not have the antibodies to. Ffed babies still have an immune system!!! Just not the level of protection that bfed babies have. and I thought bfing would clear up my husbands and kids seasonal allergies :)

So is Meth tainted breastmilk a common thing? Actually, I even wonder if the baby would have even made it to 3 months if she hadn's been BFing. How on earth could a mother on meth properly prepare formula for her baby?

In any case I think that is one of those very rare but terribly sad situations. Mothers should know not to use drugs anyway.

tainted milk ohhohoh tainted milk...don't drink me please I do not want your disease. i want you but you infect me so.... (sing it to tainted love...it works...we came up with a whole song for my friend with HIV when her milk came in...don't worry she has a very sick sense of humor).

However, there was one woman in my older daughter's play group that had sour milk...that is just gross...I don't think that it is common but the smell must have been lovely!

Why would the studies be biased in favor of bfing?

My great grandfather (and his siblings) all had a wet nurse because their mother was one of the <3% that could not breast feed.
