To be honest having gone through 2 kids. They push breast Feeding/Breast Milk to the extreme already, even if it isn't safe for the child. My wife was on Class B drugs which are safe to take while pregnant but not in breastfeeding, and they still wanted her to breastfeed. Even suggesting stopping the anti-depressant when she had post-Partum with the first kiddo.

@Fulcrum010 is very woke

Because breast milk is ideal, and formula is not the same thing

Afaik

I mean, it's weaker

"A 2016 Lancet study found that universal breast-feeding would prevent 800,000 child deaths a year across the globe" - is what they are basing it on? They realize that includes 3rd world?

The only difference these days between them is the natural immono-bonuses of breastmilk

If anything, nutritionally formula is superior since breast milk is reliant on the mother

Yea they did the same with my wife

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki
Over here, there are women with extra milk who donate to mothers who can't produce enough milk

When if she did it threatened the child's development

That happens here too

Same can be done there with no problems

But even then nutritionally it is less than Formula. Because the mother's diet is involved. Again, the only bonus for breastmilk is the immono bonuses.

Both my kids are formula kids

A

and both grow like weds

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki
Imuno is super important to a kid

Like, super important

Many formulas include immuno.

And the Immuno isn't even guaranteed with Breastmilk

<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

the monther needs the anti-bodies

Also. The same people who shame women for not breastfeeding, tend to be anti-vax too

Formula are only superior to breasmilk if the mother can't eat properly

Formulas have ballenced Nutrition

Breastmilk can lack. Hell even the mother may just not produce appropriate, or enough.

TBF modern Formula is far from bad, and there shouldn't be any regulation against parents using it

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki
Lack of milk is not the norm

Inability to produce, or produce enough is fairly common

"Fairly"

Either due to diet, or other medical reasons

Add most mothers get on some form of Anti-Depressent for the Post-Partum

Pass that through the milk yea?

^There is that too

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki
That's common in the US?

What? Lack of producing, Nipple sensitivity, and Anti-Depressents? They are common in many places.]

But yes it is common in the US

Jesus

There are to many things that get in the middle. Then you also have to remember the child could have allergies.

My first born couldn't have Regular or even Soy Formula
