[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason some of you are choosing to breastfeed your babies is because you think it is supposed to keep them from getting sick? Seriously?  :shock:

There are no benefits to breastfeeding; there are risks to formula feeding. SIDS is one; but the bigger ones for me are long-term health problems such as diabetes and Crohn's disease and other digestive tract issues. Also, the literature on the increased health risks to moms who do not breastfeed is quite robust (type 2 diabetes, breast and ovarian cancer, metabolic syndrome). Those are the reasons I do it. These risks are on a population level; therefore, the risk to any particular individual is small. To me it is worth it to reduce those health risks, but if I could not breastfeed I wouldn't stress over it too much, I'd just focus my attention on mitigating them in other ways (exercise, sleep, diet).

Provide your source on this - scientific sources, not bullshit kellymom or LC articles.  I'd love to see one TRUE scientific journal that has any information about how there are "risks" to FF or the coralation between FF and SIDS (w/ statistical significance).

I'm sure you will be unable to find ONE.[/quote]
