Breastfeeding is great but not the cure to the world. Well, I'd say the conveyed immunity IS a "cure to the world," especially the third world where the infants live in very unsanitary conditions.

Additionally, that you know someone who bottlefed all her children and they didn't have ear infections is just anecdotal. It's also a bit like saying, "We never had carseats and we were fine" -- just because you were fine doesn't mean you weren't lucky. Breastfeeding won't prevent every child from getting sick, but like a carseat, it adds an extra layer of protection.

Breastfeeding is what God intended, and it's far and away the best thing for babies. Formula can't even come close to replicating human milk.

Not a single person here who has made claim has given any references.

And to lay ANOTHER guilt trip on women who could not breastfeed, is just plain crass.
