Ha - krc you are totally right! Just because it doesn't kill you, doesn't mean it's good for you. I was formula fed as a baby & yes I think I'm OK for far (not overweight/sick or anything), but as a child I had chronic ear infections, I have always had problems with major sinus/throat infections my whole life. But my brother & sister who my mom decided to breastfeed never had these problems. Maybe it's a coincidence, but maybe not. Back to my couisn who gave her babies cows milk at 6 months - one child is now overweight, one is very underweight, the other has brutal irritable bowel problems & all 3 had blood in their stools & screamed all the time with horrible gas issues untill they were about 18 months ... she was told by the Dr. NOT to give them cows milk until 12 months & she just used to say "what does the Dr. know", again ... it made me sick. I understand not everyone can breastfeed but at least give it a REAL shot.
