  • Interesting...what a scary world we live in. However this article made me feel better about only breastfeeding for 6 months.
  • I'm afraid, after reading that, that one day they will try to create a pill that "gets rid of" those ingredients that "don't feed us, but feed the bacteria."

    IMO, breast milk is great. I've watched Malia grow from it :D
  • @homebirthadvocate I agree...it's still better then formula.
  • LOL @2ndtimearound! That made me laugh because I was thinking the same about my first!

    True @Caroline_8p, mine is a little fatty :) And in order for any study to be a good one, they should have studied the levels in formula fed babies. Who is to say they dont have even higher amounts of chemicals in their systems? Considering the insanely dangerous chemicals put in most formulas. And GMO.
  • That is ridiculous too me. I guess I need to tell my dog the next time she has pups she can't breast feed because well I'm sure she has more bacteria then humans. She eats garbage for Christ sake. And yes breast milk like yogurt has live cultures hasn't yogurt been proven to be good? As for breast milk being contaminated my friend just found a bug in her daughters can of formula! Not too mention the baby that died last year because of a bacteria in formula that wasn't caught. I think I'll continue to breast feed and I'm sorry that boobs are looked at as a sexual object now days God gave me boobs to feed my son that's why they produce milk and why we are mammals.

  • Do you all think that maybe this is the reason breast cancer is decreased if you breastfeed? Maybe that's how evolution planned it? Each generation of babies suckling the cancer causing components out of the previous generation's breasts? A continuous cycle of lessening risks. Thoughts? Are our babies cleaning us out?

    Yes, I know that breast cancer is more common now, but less women breastfeed nowadays as well.
  • @fate i don't think I like the ideal of our babies cleaning us out. I would rather think it has more to do with the lessened amounts of estrogen.

    In general I am pretty sure that what comes from my body the way God intended is better than anything man mad.
  • I wonder if any big wig formula companies funded this study, or continue to do so.
  • EXACTLY!!!^^^
  • That's like saying we shouldn't eat fruits & vegetables because they might be contaminated. Of course a lot of them are, but it's better than eating boxed & processed foods.
  • This study is ridiculous!! Talk about waste of our damn funding!
  • Wow...interesting read but if women have been doing it since the dawn of time why is it dangerous now? The reason why our kids are fat is because we feed them junk and don't make them play outside.

  • Just a group of people who want to give excuses to feed their kids fatty foods and trap their kids inside homes. They want to blame it all on things that are healthy and nutrious for growing babies so they can get away with their careless behavior.

    Anything thats naturally coming from God sent to us for the growth of future generations could NEVER be dangerous!!

  • I personally love this article and think that it makes me happy that I bf my lo because if it's taking out toxins then it's for a reason I'm sure God wanted it that way because it's similar to getting a shot to prevent getting sick from certain things. But it's even better because then the babies don't have size effects such as maybe getting a cold it actually helps them to not get sick.
  • Exactly! Since breast milk isn't human made how could it be dangerous..It's easy to say that formula or something that created by human hands can be dangerous cause mistakes and carelessness can happen while producing and manifacturing the formula along with other things that humans consume. @mommyfor3
