[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m a schedule oriented person. It seems snowy breastfeed babies don’t through the night until much later than formula fed babies. The family and friends that breastfed has babies who could only fall asleep being nursed, never slept more than 2-3 hours at a time well past 1 year, never learned to self-soothe, etc. They were very clingy, high needs babies. Most were super cranky because they were never getting adequate sleep. The formula fed babies were great sleepers, on schedules, and always happy. I don’t want to breastfeed because I’m afraid that will lead my child to becoming clingy and never sleep. I’m not willing to co-sleep as my husband and I don’t think it’s safe at all. [/quote]

I have two formula fed babies and one never slept and was (and is clingy) and one breastfed baby who is Mr. Independence, a great sleeper, and self-weaned at ten months.

Anecdotal evidence isn’t proof of anything, OP.  My second formula fed baby was very high-needs and finding the right formula was beyond challenging.  He still, as a five-year-old, isn’t a great sleeper.
