Perhaps you should ask the writers of the paper that was linked?

Please link to whatever you find, either way. TIA!
Yep, I did.

I could care less what you find me.
I never disagreed with what you were stating, I was simply saying that although my children do not have the benefit of my antibodies, they can still fight off germs. They may not have that extra layer of protection but their immune systems still work. I have never once questioned that bf babies are protected by the antibodies made in breastmilk. I actually would love for my kids to have that extra protection, but they do still have working immune systems and I have only once gone to the er for any kind of illness (Accidents are another story, and it ended up being me overreacting and my daughter was perfectly fine with some motrin).
"The statement that was originally made sounded as though a ffed kid has no capacity to fight off infection."
No, just that bfed babies have a better capacity to fight infection and this is proven, verifiable and well accepted.

I'm sorry, it was a link that supplied many articles, I thought it was easily accessed.

Which is what?
PumpkinAngel
well, you asked ME to provide links showing ffed babies get sick more often and are hospitalized more often than bfed babies.
