[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the whole breast is best push. If you don’t want to do it then don’t do it. Formula is just fine and won’t harm your kid.  It is more money but outside of that it makes life so much easier all around.  You can split the work with your partner and you can get back to being a person yourself.  You can bond just as well with your child by giving them a bottle and snuggling as if they are biting your boob.0[/quote]

Breast is best. That's why formula companies spend millions trying to make formula more similar to breast milk. A split in a household isnt 50/50each task. Like you and your husband dont each cleana toilet and then say ok you clean this half.of the kitchen and I'll do my half. 
If you are breastfeeding and that's all on you then your partner needs to pick up things to do elsewhere. [/quote]

It’s not true that breast is best. Very little to support that. [/quote]

Im not talking about social pyscho compounding factors that make formula feeding easier or a better overall choice. Breast milk &gt; formula. However, not everyone produces enough breastmilk. Some women dont have access to the funds or personnel to support issues encountered during breastfeeding. There are other factors that make formula more appealing like limited leave for parents causing anxiety, stress, and the need for pumping. Some women dont respond well to the pump. Some kids have allergies or GI issues that require amino acid or elemental formulas. Im in a group for a disorder where a lot of babies need formula due to medical reasons. Formula is an amazing choice to have since most women are uncomfortable with wet nurses  and there is a long, sordid history with wet nurses in this country, but it is not equal to breastmilk. It is a substitute. It is also a highly marketed product worth millions of dollars. [/quote]
