Re: Opinions you fear people will mock you for

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.
