[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The job of the AAP is to tell you what is the optimal practice. Not what you should do. You should exercise every day. You should eat at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day. You won't die if you don't but that is the optimal clinical outcome. Stop being so defensive and sensitive. [/quote]

This all day. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

You are insane[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Wtf are you talking about? The only person talking about a zero sum game is you. You are divorced from reality.[/quote]

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? [/quote]

I mean this is what I'm saying, you are totally divorced from reality. No I did not say any of that.[/quote]
