Re: Opinions you fear people will mock you for

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with all of this. Although I'd also like to point out that the only advantages breast feeding has over formula are:

1) It grants all of the immunity the mother has to the baby before it can be vaccinated.
2) It doesn't have an involved sterilisation process like bottle feeding.

People (not you) sometimes buy into fearmongering rhetoric that bottle feeding will make babies obese and stupid in later life, which there really isn't any evidence for. And the benefits of breast milk are often exaggerated (I have one friend who honestly believes it can cure cancer). So yes, while it is technically best for the baby, it's also not inherently harmful to give babies bottle milk.

Same anon from above who can't breast feed for medical reasons, btw.

I won't say I know the technical facts, but I have an impression that all the immunity-granting factors in breastfeeding only happen right at the start, when a baby gets a dose of colostrum right after birth.

No, it's ongoing. You develop an antibody to an infection and within the hour it's in the breastmilk to give to the baby.

It's also that genetic material is communicated to the baby which is especially valuable if the breastfeeder is genetically a "wildcard" ie not genetically related, it can help plug up holes in a child's immune system if they're susceptible to an auto-immune disease, up to about the age of 2 when their immune system matures. I'm hoping that by giving breastmilk to my son (who is not genetically related to me), his existing genes for Diabetes Type 1 might have a greater chance of never getting expressed.

But still, formula is fucking A-OK.
