Here in the US, over half of all babies are and have been formula fed for the last 50 years (according to Wikipedia). Why is this when breastfeeding is the biological norm and all the organizations advise you to do so? It is...

smonaco86 I never said all women were lazy, nor does it make them bad mothers. There is a lot of bad information out there, such as the fact that you think only an ounce in the first few days isn't enough. Google how big a newborn's stomach is and maybe read up on how...

smonaco86 I don't know if you're talking about cutting fats from your own diet or your children's diets. I have heard that drinking whole milk is bad for adults, but my take on it is that we don't need cow milk to begin with. Since I have stopped drinking it (because my...

smonaco86 Thank you for being the first to respond about the media and the information they give, because that is the root of the problem. People who lack the motivation/intelligence to do research for themselves rely on media to tell them what to do, and I believe this...

smonaco86 I agree with the fact that society shuns it. Funny how the best thing for mom and baby is looked down upon, and it's free!! It probably is hard to work and pump, I wouldn't know because my husband and I planned it so we could both be home with our son while he...

smonaco86 Good for you for nursing for the first 6 months, which the AAP claims is best to do. I agree it is hard being the only one to feed, I have pumped and given my son a bottle so I could sleep as well! Thanks for responding!

smonaco86 Sorry if I made it seem as if I'm attacking formula feeding mothers, I am not and there are legitimate reasons to do so. My questions are aimed more at women who decide not to breastfeed so they can smoke/drink/do drugs or just because they want it to be...

I have always been a firm believer that if you really want to stop doing something you can, without help from somewhere else. To my credit I smoked cigarettes for over 10 years, and quit cold turkey. That was a year and a half...

smonaco86 You described the way I feel accurately with "the sense of the reasons why you wanted to stop this activity". I think the way you see the addiction (negatively vs. positively) is a big part of it. Also if you're rebelling against someone or not. I didn't...

smonaco86 I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding your English, but I will say that here it is advised to NEVER give a child under one year cow's milk. The proteins are much larger in cow milk and harder to digest for a baby. There are many other differences too,...
