Also, would you pleas try and answer this other question I posted. People just answered saying that statistics are made up to scare people to breastfeed.
You know what? I don’t believe it, I think we’re only told that so that we all breastfeed. My 3 nieces and 1 nephew were all formula fed and they are all teenagers now and have never had any problems what so ever with allergies or anything for that matter however, me, my 2 brothers and sister were breastfed and we all have different types of allergies ranging from hay-fever, nut allergies, asthma and allergies to food so don’t believe everything you are told.
Are you trying to stir the pot? You know, does it matter if people make up statistics trying to promote breastfeeding (not saying they do)? Does anything negative come from breastfeeding? It’s not like they are trying to “trick” kids into smoking…
This is just a silly quesiton if you ask me.
