Usually leads to permanent problems such as malocclusion, autoimmune problems and allergy just to name a few. Breast feeding is highly recommended during the first 3 years or so.
Sure science can come up with a suitable formula
Also it's necessary for ill babies but to healthy, strong-born babies, not being breastfed won't do them much harm
Either way, I won't breastfeed

Thanks for answering my question, wait you didn’t. I want to know if 10% of actually don’t breastfeed
@rosalinas you should do some research on the subject before making such claim. You don't understand how complex breastfeeding is. And it's not just about the milk too.
I know I'm 24 weeks late and all but I just had to put my 2 cents in here. My mother breastfed me and didn't breastfeed my little sister. While I have only ever been on Antibiotics a total of maybe 3 or 4 times in my entire life, my sister routinely gets pneumonia every single year during the winter and is sick much more often than I ever was at her age (I'm 18 she's 9 for reference). It's just an all-round better option to breastfeed than it is to bottlefeed.
Wow. A thread back from the dead. @howuoh- maybe she did do some research and care to a different conclusion? There are a million things a parent could do “good better best” and all sorts of credible and extensive studies on everything from the effects of music on a child, to the way you act or colors and smells they’re surrounded by and more. Plenty of babies grow up just fine on formula. Even if a mother doesn’t breast feed, there are wet nurses and other ways to breast feed a child without doing so yourself. Anyway you slice it- a mother or father have a responsibility to their child, but don’t stop being people just because they are parents. If a woman doesn’t want to breast feed, no one can make her and she shouldn’t be shamed. Some moms can’t breast feed, or can’t provide adequate milk or have health issues that make breast feeding a risk. While breast feeding is believed to be the best option for infants- there isn’t strong evidence that formula is bad- just maybe not as good.
You're going way off point. I'm just stating the benefits of breast feeding, nothing more. As far as I know, nothing beats breastfeeding for the baby. Have you done your research?
No one has done their research. You are the sole voice of reason, the only literate and informed human, the superior being. Although maybe practice the literacy part, since I said in my reply that I agree that breast feeding is currently and widely held as the best form of nutrition for infants. I didn’t mention the fact that breast feeding is thought to help with bonding and overall emotional health later on, but I didn’t have to- because my point was that just because a person doesn’t agree to do things the way that is “best” doesn’t mean that there are no other valid options, or that less than the best is a war crime. B+ on literacy, D on comprehension. It’s great you want to state the benifits of breast feeding, but that was not “all you were doing.” You were stating what another person does or does not understand simply because they didn’t defer to your expertise.
Also- I apologize. I was doing work and posting when I saw the update on funsub. In my distracted state I thought the 3hr time stamp was also above your post. It honestly isn’t such a big deal to me that I would have dragged you back to this thread after half a year if I’d noticed. So that- I do apologize for as it was rude and bad form caused by my carelessness. I get a D in paying attention and an A in being an a-hole on this one.
"You were stating what another person does or does not understand simply because they didn’t defer to your expertise." I did not once claim authority over this subject. Which is why I deferred to experts on this matter by suggesting some light research. Clearly you're not in the right mind to discuss anything. Come back again when you're not emotionally disturbed.
It’s funsubstance. If people waited to not be emotionally disturbed to post the board would be 90% empty. I could have a whole post on what “passive agreesive” means, or to discuss how the way we use words doesn’t have to directly claim anything, that things can be implied- including condescension, and so much more. I suspect I don’t have to understands the basic nuances of language though and at this point you’re being coy. Like I said though, it wasn’t my intent to drag you back to a half year old thread. Who knows what mood you were in when you wrote that, you may have been emotionally disturbed, so I’ll let it slide. I dug it up anyway so as an adult, this is me walking away. Have a great day.
Hmm.... well... 10/10 astronauts on space walks piss in their pants. If you start pissing your pants tomorrow though it is highly unlikely to fast track you to getting to walk in space. There may be more to it than that... Your chances of being in the olympics even IF you compete in a collegiate level or equivalent sport hover around 0.0013%-0.2% (optimistic on the high end, wide variance based on sport type) Let's say without solid fact that something like 99.6% of olympians all work hard and are dedicated to their sport, which likely has more to do with being an Olympic athlete than what they drink. This is silly fallacious reasoning. Milk can be very good for you, and for athletes in training can an easy cheap source of what they need. But this is misleading. It wasn't milk that disqualified the Russians or so many in rio and Sydney.
