But God forbid you feed the kid in public. That might OFFEND someone.
Lower risk of breast cancer; lower risk of arthritis; stronger, smarter healthier babies; cheaper than formula: why do anything else?
Interesting. Hope the future mothers hear about this so they will choose to nurse Baby rather than bottlefeed Baby. Thanks, ND
How dare you discuss hard drugs on this forum!
Some would say that news sucks...
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
btt
I have 4 kids and nursed each of them until they were around 18 mo of age. Granted the last few months were for their comfort as nursing was more of a security thing for them. It's good to know that because I was a human pacifier that my health risks are low.
could you add the key word health to these when you post or ping them. I like to pass them on but have a hard time finding them when I go back to get them.
I wish I could breastfeed (stop laughing). I'm eaten up with arthritis and I'm only 32.
The wording here is not clear. Is there an increase in risk after 23 months or a further decrease?
My wife breastfeeds our son. He seems extremely healthy (knock on wood). Now that he is eight months he has also been eating solid foods for a while. On the subject of breastfeeding in public, my wife was initially very discrete, but she rapidly adopted the attitude that feeding the baby is much more important than worrying about other people's problems with it. Babies digest breast milk more rapidly than formula so they get hungry and need to be fed more often.
But, who nurses for 13 TO 23 MONTHS?. Impossible!. I nursed my baby for 6 months and, of the moms I know in their 30's, I am the one who did it the longest. I didn't want to do it in the beginning, but hearing it was so good for the baby, I started doing it as soon as he was born. OMG!, I would have never stopped!. From the emotional point of view, it's so wonderful!. I would have done it even though the study had found it's bad for that disease.
I am reading though that is it kind of disgusting to see moms breastfeeding in public. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and it is pretty common to see it. I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as the mom is appropriately covered with a blanket. I actually did it. I would say, let's get used to it. It is natural and marvellous.
Noted for when I have kids...(Although I better quit cracking my knuckles too to avoid it!) ;)
Nice news. So far, I've done 7 years. No breast cancer, no rheumatoid arthritis for me.
