[quote=Anonymous]I BF for 8.5 months. My child has no allergies and has never had an ear infection; been on antibiotics 1x. She is 4 and has been in daycare since 3.5 months. She obviously, at this point, has a strong immune system (knock wood). Who knows if BFing had anything to do with it? You just do what you can. We also eat healthy and prioritize sleep. Maybe those things have helped, maybe not. I hope BFing has offered some protective factor. If not, I enjoy it anyway for the most part. It can be a pain but as I am BFing my second now, there are moments I really enjoy it. I once read that BFing should be a pleasant experience, and if it's not, you should probably stop. I think that is good advice. People shouldn't beat themselves up for not BFing, but to say it has no benefits I think is also extreme. To me, it's pretty amazing that after giving birth we have the ability to feed the baby from our own bodies for several months. Pretty cool. [/quote]
