breastfeeding is the one and only way you can be assured that your infant is being fed nutrition and not some chemical. Have you ever read the back of a can of formula? Can you read the back of a can of formula? You need a degree in chemistry to understand what they put in that stuff! and you are giving this to your infant? Also did you know that mothers milk esp. in the first two weeks contains natural antibodies! Ever notice the yellow tinge to breast milk in the first two weeks? its tinged yellow because it contains natural antibodies that the mother has built up over her lifetime, try to find that in a can of formula.! A womens body can create life, which is amazing in itself, why would anyone be offended if that life is being sustained by the most natural way? THe ignorant people whom believe that its inappropriate to breast feed probably weren't breast fed themselves, it was taboo in the 50's/60's sad to say and the "women" who don't breast feed because they are afraid of "leaking" don't know how to properly take care of themselves! Plus breastfed babies don't have STINKING bowel movements, unlike formula fed, wonder why? chemical waste! any woman whom chooses to breast feed should be allowed to, ,the women that are self assured have no reason to worry what the ignorant population thinks. How do these ignorants think the human race survived to this point? oh I forgot`` Mary popped that bottle in the microwave and then fed Jesus``
