This all day.

Exercising every day is objectively good for the person that does it. Eating at least 5 fruits and veggies a day is objectively good for the person that does it. Being the only caregiver that can do night feedings for a newborn is not good for a lot of women, and the benefits to the baby are marginal at best.

Reductions in breast and ovarian cancer are not objectively good for the person? There’s a lot of dead women who are surprised by that take.

Really? That's their rationale? Give me a break. Their emphasis has always been and continues to be on bogus benefits to the baby.just read the most recent policy statement. If it were about breast cancer risk to themselves many women would choose higher risk over the many hours of labor it takes to breastfeed, which the AAP continues to diminish.

Why are you so dead set against parents feeding their children the perfect food for them? Food that changes as they do. Food that generally doesn’t generate any waste. Of course a fed baby is the best baby but the idea that factory produced, powered milk for babies is somehow just as good is crazy. Do YOU only drink protein shakes? Do you take vitamins instead of eating good foods? We always seem to think we can be smarter and do better than nature despite the fact that again and again we are proven wrong. Formula isn’t better than breast milk and you don’t get a second chance to set the foundation for your child’s health. Feed your baby whatever you want but this agenda to disparage breast milk speaks more to your insecurity than anything science can or cannot prove yet.

The diminished cancer risks are right there in the document. And many women choose higher risk of heart disease over following the medical recommendations for diet, that doesn’t make them bad recommendations.

Because I think it’s ok to tell people that it isn’t a zero sum game between formula and breast milk. Please consult the DSM-V.

Recommendations that don't require flat out lies to justify are good recommendations, I agree

This is also true for single mothers who bottle feed, mothers who have babies with bottle refusal (regardless of what’s in the bottle) mothers of babies whose spouse works night shift/more than one job, and mothers married to shitty men of any description. Formula solves none of those problems. Bottle feeding expressed milk has the same magical qualities as bottle feeding formula in terms of a mothers sleep.

So you think it is a lie that breastfeeding reduces cancer risks in women? Because even Emily Oster agrees those are sizable…

Many babies refuse the bottle because parents are afraid of introducing a bottle too early thanks to organizations like the AAP.

Bottle feeding was much easier for me regardless of whether my DH was doing it or not. I doubt you'll believe me though since you can only process one narrative.

Do I believe you that your experience was that the bottle was easier? Sure. It’s a sample size of one, though, so I certainly don’t think it matters in terms of making recommendations.

Now when you show me a high quality randomized peer reviewed study that shows bottle-feeding has long term benefits to the health of women who do it, I will think it might be beneficial to a larger population than just yourself.

Again, of that's the reason the AAP thinks women should breastfeed they should focus on that, not on BS benefits to the baby as they do in this policy statement.

So you believe that feeding your baby processed powder mixed with water is exactly the same as breast milk and breast feeding should be discouraged?
