My son hardly ever gets sick and was ahead of schedule as far as development. My niece, who was breastfed, has been in and out of emergency rooms and Dr.'s offices, and is nearly 5 years old and still cant speak very well. Infact she didn't start speaking until the age of 3, and it was a very small vocabulary


You wouldn't have needed to intro yourself as a lurker with a statement like this.

I don't think I could love my son anymore if I had bf than I do now


NOONE here thinks that infant nutrition is equated with love.

ITA with your post #45. DF bonds with Corbin when I am BFing by lying next to him so DS is in the middle and looks at both of us. DF is also learning sign language so he can talk to him. He also, *obviously* talks to DS in sign, changes his diaper, gives him a bath, plays with him, snuggles him, takes naps with him, feeds him BM in a bottle (he wishes he could do it more so I pump and manually express for him), and sings to him. There are MANY MANY ways to bond with a baby regardless of whether mom is EBF.

In response to your post #125


"Ok, contamination and contaminated water is a bit different than dying from formula itself. ETA - OK, the first link relates to an ISRAELI formula...unless I am very much mistaken American companies are held to a certain standard that foreign companies are not necessarily held to. I do not think a baby fed one of the American brands of formula is going to die from a lack of certain vitamins without an underlying disorder - something that could also happen to a BF baby with the same underlying disorder."
