This is so stupid. I made my point on my view. Your preaching did not make me feel like I made bad choice. Bottom line. It was not luck that made my child healthy and smart. I believe it has everything to do with how parents raise their children. There is no magic "food" that going to make your child smarter or healthier, they either will be or wont be!>>>
I didn't preach to you at all. IF you feel I did, please quote me. I'd be happy to retract it.
Oh, and I never said it was luck. Someone else may have, but I didn't. Don't attribute statements to me that I didn't make.
And you did not answer my question. You accused breastfeeders, as a whole, of wanting to heckle women and transform them into breastfeeders. I asked you - why would we do that? There is no profit in breastfeeding. So what other reason do you think there is to promote it? I kindly ask that fi you aren't willing to engage in the debate and would rather continue to gloat about how secure you are in your choice, that you go elsewhere. Here, we debate. I am asking you a fair question. I am very interested in your answer.

Sure thing, honey! Some of the issues that are now viewed as "normal" or "common" are things such as excessive spit up, constipation, colic, GERD... Yes, it is true that these things can also occur in a breastfed baby... However, when they do, we typically note that these are "not normal" issues... They're usually indicitive of some other underlying issue, and it serves as a symptom to be able to find the problem. However, since these are things that just happen and are "normal" to a formula fed baby, so, we run the risk of potentially not recognizing what may be an early sign or symptom of an underlying issue.>>>>
THanks! This is what I was thinking of as well, I was just wondering if that's what you were mentioning. Spit up is the biggest one...people are always so surprised that Josie does not throw up at all...unless I've had too much caffeine.

2. Related to that, FFing allows Dad to have that special bonding time with baby as well - something which I also feel benefits the baby immensely.
I'd question my DH's parenting ability if he felt that he could ONLY bond with our child by feeding him a manmade concoction that our babies little tummy isn't designed to handle.
3. Related to THAT - Dad can get up and share feedings with me as well which means I am better rested. Yes, that is a benefit to me but also a benefit to the baby. Better rested=less stressed=calmer Mom=less stress on baby too.
Oh PUH-LEEZE.
No, pumping is not an option.
I have no problem admitting that BFing is nutritionally superior. It is. There is no question of that.
