[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yall are out of your minds. I have NEVER heard or seen a mom who is feeding her child formula shamed. Not ever. I have worked with kids and their families on/off for 15 years. Never heard any other moms talk about it, never seen facebook posts about it, etc.

I do see moms who BF in public ridiculed. I do see posts about it, I have seen it happen in person, and I have experienced it. I do see women ridiculed for breastfeeding more than 3 months, more than 6 months, more than a year. Never hear ANYONE ridicule a mom for using formula for 3 months or 6 months or expect them to switch to something else.

And for the previously linked Harvard article, she doesnt waffle on the benefits of BM. Its not bottle feeding (formula or BM) that prevents obesity. Breastmilk from the breast is how nature intended babies to be fed. [/quote]

Also the benefit was not from breastfeeding the benefit was from being wealthy.

Also, not sure why you are so intent on "how nature intended" when you immediately start giving your child yogurt and cheese from a cow, which is not how nature intended.[/quote]
