Bottle feeding doesn't give you asthma...le sigh.

I'm sorry, but why the hell is it any of YOUR business whether another woman breastfeeds or bottle feeds HER child? It's not YOUR child, it's HERS, so get off your high horse and go take care of your own damned kids. What I do with my children and my boobs is none of your business, and speaking of your kids, you're…

I think Kim means the poster, whose trying to prove that not breast feeding is equivalent to not vaccinating.

What do you mean start? When haven't they? Goody Brown was dragging harlots out to be branded centuries ago.

Well you are insane. There's no scientific data to spport your idea that bottle feeding is bad for kids.

You're really out of line and off-base to compare bottle feeding to not vaccinating and taking thalidomide. That's just insanity. Seriously. YOU are actually one of "the evil Big Breast Milk" people hounding her by making such inflammatory and false statements about formula. YOU are part of this oppressive, pedantic…

There is absolutely no evidence that formula is bad for a baby: "exactly zero." There may be a little bit of evidence that breastfeeding may be a little tiny bit better, though nothing at all conclusive, but there is not piles, and there's incontrovertible evidence that thalidomide harms kids, and solid evidence that…

Yes! Thank you! I was going to make a comment that these studies are always riddled with correlation/causation issues, but since there are like a million comments I wanted to see whether anyone else said it. I am halfway through, and you are the first. (frown-e-face)

It is judgemental mothers like you who have out me off having children altogether.

And all really good mommies know that you're a shit mom if you don't take every opportunity to sacrifice yourself and your comfort to do what is Best For Baby. Frankly, I think I mostly breastfed for comfort and convenience. I didn't have to get out of bed as much or warm stuff up. But I am damn sure that formula…

Mommy Groups: #1,380 on the list of things that terrify me about having kids.

Oh we need to make this happen... I, too, have no musical talent, but we need to find someone who does. I'll offer up a dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies to anyone who's willing and able to do this.

That's a good question that I wish I knew the answer to.

Not vaccinating and not breast feeding are worlds apart. Not vaccinating effects people other than your child.

If I had any musical talent, I would write a song explaining the difference between correlation and causation, preferable set to the tune of the Modern-General's song from HMS Pinafore, and post it as a reply a million times a day.

Here is the thing. People keep say "stop asking us to be ok with you breastfeeding". Uh, what is wrong with that. Why do you have to be a factor in another person choice about how to raise their child. Would you be happier if on the front of their shirt they wore a patch with big breast on it that's been crossed out.…

Well, and despite formula not being 'equal', there's little to no evidence that bottle-feeding a child deprives them of the plethora of super-powers that breast-feeding crazy people would have you believe. The only benefits there's evidence for is fewer stomach upsets and ear infections in breast-fed infants. Which…

I cannot believe people cannot see the fact that correlation if different from causation. Are people here really that dense?

Thank you for this. As a mom who breastfed exclusively, I have to say I am appalled at the arrogant tone a lot of people take against people who choose not to nurse, whatever their reasons. When did women start being such witches to other women?

Sorry, but there is no "overwhelming scientific consensus" on the issue. All alleged benefits to breast-feeding are thus far hypothetical (things like knowing breast milk contains certain things that theoretically could have an effect on the nursing child, etc) - there currently exist no conclusive studies on the…
