I never did it, and Rachael is just fine. She is not allergic to anything and hasn't had anything worse than a cold. She goes to daycare, so her immunity is building up better than some other children too. My nephew was breastfed for the first year of his life. His mother made all his babyfood. The whole nine yards. He is allergic to peanuts (a very severe case of it too). He hasn't had any terrible illnesses (yet), but I think it's because he's not around any other children. His grandmother watches him while his parents are at work. My husband and I were both bottle fed babies, and we never had any health issues. If it was good enough for us, then it's good enough for Rachael. I don't have any issue with other people advocating for breastfeeding, but please understand that some people just cannot do it. I like to say that the area in question is for playing, not dining. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
