You should slap them! I was raised on formula because I was RH-factor and I was allergic to mom! I grew up healthier than most kids.

It disturbs me that people called Guiliani “Mussolini” when we have a real one in illegal office. Maybe he can start shouting from the balcony at Gracie Mansion.

My husband as bottle-fed and is healthy as a horse. I was breast fed and I have autoimmune diseases and allergies like crazy.

I breast fed my daughter and loved it. With my son, things didn’t go well at all. He couldn’t even tolerate formula. We ended up having to feed him on a special ‘predigested’, hypoallergenic formula that cost 4x as much as the regular stuff. His entire intestinal tract was swollen and bleeding and he had malabsorption syndrome.

BOTH of my kids have allergies and my son is a T-1 diabetic.

I don’t think it had a damn thing to do with their formula. I would’ve love to have breast fed my son, but he’d have been dead if I’d have pushed it.

Pressuring new moms is NOT a good thing. New moms are already stressed and the last thing they need is to be lectured every few hours about how they’re already screwing up.
