Aren't your kids always sick?


Knock on wood-my sister and I both and my children were/never are sick and I mean almost never. My dd missed 1 day of school (sickwise) in 5 years of elementary school. My son has gotten two or three viruses that were going around in daycare but nothing severe. None of us have allergies either. We were all formula fed.


My co-worker who (might still be doing it at almost 2 years, not sure) breastfeed's child was always sick.

That financial reasons is not one of the major ones for their decisions.

That someone would breastfeed for other reasons than financial. It couldn't be that it's better for the baby, better for the mother, and easier overall. Couldn't be!

I absolutely am.


Can you give me a benefit that your child got with breastmilk over my formula fed child?

I'm sure you and many others don't. Makes no different to me. I just never felt it right to feed my kids a powder made in a factory made out of things not meant for babies when it was possible to feed them what was meant for them. I don't think any harm falls to those who drank formula, I just don't understand it, that's all.
