I´m curious which you prefer bottle-fed or breast-fed..

Why?

What´s good or bad advantage between bottle-fed & breast fed.

I can say how difference between bottle-fed & breast fed through my 2 sons.

I notice that my 2nd son get more less ill than my 1st son but they are still fine.

Germans support an idea of breast-feeding because it´s best healthy for the babies, well the nurse force my 1st son to suck my breast but he prefer bottle formula because he used bottle-fed for a week until I was recovered from ill, that´s why it´s hard to train him to suck my breast but it doesn´t work so I bottle-fed him to keep him happy.

I breastfed my 2nd son for 9 months with no complication until he bite my nipple to bleed so I decide to stop because it´s pain & might cause infection. The doctor recommend me to take sage tea (sour tea) to prevent my son to depend my breast then shift to cow cup... I never use formula but normal milk with 3,8% fat.

Good advantage:
Breast-feeding is best to save alot of work to clean & make formula bottles.
Breast-feeding cost nothing.
Breast-feeding helps me to reduce my weight.
Breast-feeding is help to prevent from germs, illness eg because it´s more antibodies in it.
Breast-feeding is best to make baby´s less smell poop & less smell vomit.
Breast-feeding helps baby to sleep easier...
Breast-feeding is the best to help me to reduce stress.
Breast-feeding is not allergic to any babies.
Breast-feeding can develop the babies´s weighs.

Bad advantage:
Watch out what you eat right because it cause baby´s stomach ache & colic. The doctor give me list what I can eat or not.
Headaches pills are not allowed.
Alcohics is also not allowed.
Orange juices is also not allowed.
Up to 2 cups of coffee are allowed.
Do not eat too much fatty.
Drink 2 litres/1kg water & herb tea to produce more breast milk forum.
Dry your nipple after finish breast-fed because it could cause infection if you don´t dry them.

Good advantage:
Formula bottle is good when you can eat & drink anything what you want without watch what you eat if you want to breastfed your baby because babies are very senstive with colic.

Bad advantage:
Strong smell poop
Smelly vomit
Bottle-fed make babies overweight
Much work to do is clean & make the formula bottles.
More stress.

I vote breast milk because it´s best advantage than formula. I´m not against formula milk because I know they are also good but I beleive that breast milk is the BEST. As long as all babies are fed and happy what they like is fine.

Breast Milk is natural, and it's obviously that these breasts are meant to be used as feeding tools for the babies.

Formula Milk is manmade, and more unnatural.

VamPyroX

Breastfeeding actually helps babies grow better and smarter.

My thoughts exactly!! I wonder, too!

Frisky Feline

I agree. I wish I could have waited to had my breast reduction but its too late. At this time, i wasn't interested in having kids in my 20's. I do regret about it.

I have no choice but I fed my kids with formula.

I support the breastfeeding all the way!!! Liebling:-))) Your reply about the pros and cons are already answered.

Frisky Feline

I don't have any preference because i do support breastfeeding. Unfortunately, I could not be able to bfeed my kids since i had breast reducation before i had kids. I had lack of milks.

If I would have some interests in having kids in my 20's then I would have bfeeding my kids. BUT not..

so, i can't vote from your poll.

VamPyroX

Let's face it... we love breasts!

Oh, I didn’t know that you created your thread because I thought it's first & new thread since there're not on list under parent-parent thread. so I check the dated of your creation was on 28th April 2003, which it’s old thread. There’re many new members around before you created your thread (I’m one of them).
I created a new thread with poll under parent-parent thread to collect members's good or bad advantages.

Sorry, but the thread what I created should stay because of this poll. Thank you for remind me.

Dumb? I didn’t know that formula make babies dumb. I only know that mothermilk is good advantage like what I said at my post.

Yes, I also used formula on my 1st son, too. He’s fine like your both sons. I didn’t against formula like what I said in first place. I’m only interesting to collect the good/bad advantages between formula & mother milk.
Why mothers prefer formula.
Why mothers prefer mother milk.

I am only curious why you prefer formula, that's all. I didn't mentioned anything about "dumb"... okay?

Lib, I am not talking about you. I am making a general isssue, because some stated that breastfeed makes babies smarter... Well, if forumla doesnt' make babies smart how come my children learned the basic steps that all babies learn at a certain time level age? like crawling, talking, walking, potty train etc. I do not believe those links where it says breastfeed are to make babies smarter.. cuz it is not true not to me it isn't.

I voted ' Formula '....

I gave all my three boys formula, simply because my breasts are senstive!

Defee

Well, when my son was born, i gave him formula and he turned out to be just fine and very smart too..he is on honor roll in college! so doesnt matter whether babies were fed breast milk or formula..so there!

Defee, My children are smart too and It doesn't matter whether a baby were fed formula or breast milk, at least they are growing and well taken care of, that's all it matters!

Who cares if breast milk is better than formula!

VamPyroX

Forumula doesn't make babies dumb. Breastmilk make them grow smarter and developed well while forumlas just give them different nutritions. Scientists have done research and realized that formulas have special ingredients for babies, but it like being overprotective in some ways. Think of it this way, if you wanted to be very protective for your kids and keep them in the house protecting them from harm, what would happen? Well, your kids would never be able to go outside... making their skin more sensitive to the sun later on in life. They would never really make much friends... making them loners and hermits in the future as well as making it hard for them to make friends. They wouldn't be involved much in sports... making them wimps and afraid to get physical in the future. A lot of bad things could happen to them... however, the kids were well protected... that's what counts. Right? Nah! I'd rather have my kids go out and make more friends. If he gets a scratch? Oh well, shit happens! Playing sports will get him more involved in physical activities. He will become a great leader and make a lot of friends. I'd rather give my kids that kind of opportunity than to make sure he's 100% safe from the environment. Now, that's what I'm referring to with breastmilk and formulas. Breastmilk is like letting the kid go on his own. Formulas is like keeping the kids in the house. I don't mean it literally, but figuratively.

I voted both, because I breastfed all my three boys briefly before starting on formula. They started on formula because my breasts did not produce enough milk for the boys to be satisfied.

Right now all boys are brilliant and healthy. My baby boy is almost one year old and he has already started on solid food a little bit.

I cannot say if breastmilk is better than formula nor vice versa, because they both kept my boys happy and healthy.

That's true. It makes sense ! I breast-fed all my 4 children. And, you know what ? All my 4 kids don't use "pacifier", either when they were babies.
