My wife breast-fed our kids and got all kinds of grief from her family over it. They thought it was gross and low-class. I'm glad she did though and not only because I didn't have to get up that much in the middle of the night to fetch a bottle of formula.

Kids grew up healthy and never had a single health problem. No silly allergies to things like peanut butter, no ADD, no major sickness, nothing like that at all. They weren't even discipline problems though I like to take credit for some of that.

I not only breastfed my four but I had the first three in cloth diapers because of finances and simply because I liked the whole cotton thing. And the more that people looked down with scorn for what I did the more drive I had to do it.

Plus, my first baby was a 10 lb. c-section birth ... and of course everyone but my midwife said all the rest had to be c-sections as well. Well, the next three were regular deliveries with no complications.

That said, even with breast feeding two of mine had chronic ear infections, the other two never did.
