[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it is crazy propaganda.  Both my kids were breastfed for a year, and both have asthma, food allergies, had so many ear infections they had to get tubes before the age of 1, RSV, etc.

It is complete and utter HOGWASH that it makes children healthier.   [/quote]

But they still might be better off than if they had been formular fed - at least according to the studies.[/quote]

I don't dispute the benefits of breastfeeding - but I don't think there are any studies that focus on this.  How could they?  What would one use as a control?  The control woudl have to be the same kid, both FF and BF, which clearly is impossible.  If a kid is BF, there's no way to tell how much more sick (if at all) he would have been if he'd been FF.  Conversely, is a kid is FF, there's no way top tell how much less sick he'd have been (if at all) if he'd been BF.  Short version - the studies HAVE to look at how breastfed kids fare vs FF kids, because no other study is possible. [/quote]
