I both laughed and gasped in horror.

I actually am a research scientist, I love reading research articles. Please send me a source for your above off the cuff statement. By all means, give a mechanistic pathway or a research article that demonstrates how antibodies could be absorbed through the stomach lining and somehow boost an infants immune system.…

You may have them all.

Ughhhh… what kind of people need to be guilted into buying samoas? I think you mean this lemon cookie pieces of shit.

"Considering breast feeding is a medical issue that if not done can cause medical risks to the infants immune system it seems entirely appropriate for a medical professional to give such a talk."

Vaccinations are not even on the same playing field.

This is why I fucking hate so many things about how our medical system treats women.

Ok, the study that said breast milk gave infants a higher IQ is one of the most scientifically shameful articles I have ever read. Talk about weak correlation. They didn't even control for the IQ of the parents! Listen, I'm a scientist and I believe in the peer review process. However, sometimes studies get into…

First off, I should say that I mean that there aren't tangible benefits to breast milk than to formula. But anyway,

Sure, I agree that it may be best for some people, that doesn't mean it's objectively better.

THIS THIS!!

This is no scientific research that is sound or has been repeated to show that breastfeeding (in first world countries) has an tangible benefits to infants. Women should chose what is best for their families.

I'm sorry the trolls are in full force today. Dismiss button is your friend!

I totally agree with you on that. I grew up primarily with Dobermans but the only dog that ever threatened and snapped at me when I was a child was a yellow lab.

True.

Jesus Christ. When did I say that? I said some owners do this, I never said it was alright. I actually grew up with a German Shepard and I love them. Please read comments in full before getting all huffy.

Oh dear lord WWHHHYYYYY?

Blueberry! Pecan!
