[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone needs to stop with the "formula is 100% just as good as breast milk" stuff. It's not.

[b]Have you ever heard of a NICU or hospital anywhere in the world with a bottle of breastmilk from the baby's mom and decides not to give it because, "well the baby can just get some variety and formula is 100% just as good"???[/b]

Would any hospital anywhere not do whatever they knew how to do (which admittedly varies wildly) to help the mom produce milk for a new baby or especially a baby in the NICU who needs all the help they can get?

No, of course not. That's because formula is NOT as good as breastmilk. End of story.

I don't know what you're all arguing about. What are all the insults for? There's no need to make anyone feel bad for their choices. There are plenty of very "valid" reasons why breastfeeding doesn't work for a woman or a family - if she's sick, or doesn't produce enough, or is taking medications, has health issues, etc etc.

You are a moron. Go read the actual science on breastfeeding (though I suspect you could not understand any of it) and then come back.

The backlash against breastfeeding is insane. So, now people think it’s moronic for hospitals to give NICU babies breast milk?

You guys need to stop being so insecure. It’ll be okay. Really. You don’t to ridicule women who breastfeed just to make yourself feel better about giving your baby formula. In fact, you’d be much better off if you stopped obsessing about what other women are doing and focus on your own baby.
