Is your doctor old? It was a widely held belief up until the late 90s that breast milk and formula were nutritionally equal and therefore the difference was unimportant, but the results of long-term studies (some posted here) have shown that breastfed children are significantly ahead of their formula-fed peers in a wide range of areas, including intelligence, immunity, motor skills and emotional stability.

i guess the breast babies can console themselves with their 0.01% less chance of having hayfever, when the huge brained formula babies take over and put them all in camps

idk in her 30s? If it helps we heard the same thing from the doctor at the hospital and the nurse who came to weigh our kid later on

although tbh they may have been saying that partly to avoid what happened with another mom in our prenatal group. she refused to feed her kid formula and didn't produce enough milk so at 3 months her kid weighed like 10lb. BREAST IS BEST lol

breast milk is better, but many moms have to work

"Your partner can help out with nighttime feedings and share that bonding experience with your baby." sorry all your kids will grow up to have strained and distant relationships with their dads

This doesnt even make sense since most moms who breast feed also pump milk for their spouses to use in bottles for feeding.

Like you are really dumb all around dude

Ever tried breast milk? It's great. It tastes pretty good, like regular whole milk but a little sweeter. The morning breast milk is the best, it's thickest and has the viscosity of cream. Good for coffee imho, and your immune system! Body builders also drink the stuff in droves for the super powers it bestows. so why not be like a super body builder goons and get on CL (craig's list) for some BM (breast milk).

Post all your breast milk acquiring/drinking tips here.

Abstract

Summary

Atopic diseases constitute a common health problem. For infants at hereditary risk, prophylaxis of atopy has been sought in elimination diets and other preventive measures. We followed up healthy infants during their first year, and then at ages 1, 3, 5, 10, and 17 years to determine the effect on atopic disease of breastfeeding. Of the initial 236 infants, 150 completed the follow-up, which included history taking, physical examination, and laboratory tests for allergy. The subjects were divided into three groups: prolonged (>6 months), intermediate (1-6 months), and short or no (<1 month) breastfeeding.

The prevalence of manifest atopy throughout follow-up was highest in the group who had little or no breastfeeding (p<0·05, analysis of variance and covariance with repeated measures [ANOVA]). Prevalence of eczema at ages 1 and 3 years was lowest (p=0·03, ANOVA) in the prolonged breastfeeding group, prevalence of food allery was highest in the little or no groups (p=0·02, ANOVA) at 1-3 years, and respiratory allergy was also most prevalent in the latter group (p=0·01, ANOVA) having risen to 65% at 17 years of age. Prevalences in the prolonged, intermediate, and little or no groups at age 17 were 42 (95% Cl 31-52)%, 36 (28-44)%, and 65 (56-74)% (p=0·02, trend test) for atopy, respectively, and 8 (6-10)%, 23 (21-25)%, and 54 (52-56)% (p=0·0001, trend test) for substantial atopy.

We conclude that breastfeeding is prophylactic against atopic disease—including atopic eczema, food allergy, and respiratory allergy—throughout childhood and adolescence.
