Sheesh! You do realize that TIC=Tongue in Cheek, right? I was being a lil bit silly...of course I know BF babies get sick. Sorry I haven't had a chance to respond to your other
I don't understand this, *wanting* to BF is not a requirement to BF. Alot of moms who switch for the "ick factor" seem to make this their sole reason. However there are plenty of moms who overcome their issues and go on to BF. The "ick factor" is something I will never understand, I guess.
It's not really about wants, I'll give you that. It's about what the baby expects. Babies don't expect formula, their bodies are programmed to root and latch and digest BM. *If* a baby could choose though, do you really think it would opt for formula?
As for pain, cracking, blisters, etc, that's pretty commonly experienced

>>>Of course, since I was BFed, I rarely get sick otherwise (TIC, but true :P)<<<<
Anecdotally true. Plenty of bf'd babies get sick. Less than ff'd babies but it's not like bf'd babies getting sick is a rare thing.

"But you can never know the answer to "what if" for that baby."
Indeed. So why go the "riskier" route? ^_^
"Maybe the child wouldn't want a mommy who hated the process of feeding him. Who am I to say?"
Ummmm.

Mopping floors, playing with a cute toddler, and eating bon-bons...

LOL yeah I am Jewish and I'd probably avoid that too! I think "Cay-nun" is beautiful.
