What they have in common is *Feeding* . . . which is where our focus should be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1599302 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 11:35:53 +0000 citymouse 1599302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Totally. I don't feel superior or vindicated, just comforted about the fact that we FF! </p> <p>@Espion: Haha, love that!</p> <p>@Kemma: Really interesting.

Like....hello, some kind of mandatory paid maternity leave, longer maternity leave, automatic healthcare for pregnant moms and babies, etc.</p> <p>The US already has rising BFing rates and the remaining percentage of people who don't bf have formula, which is great! Infant nutrition problems = solved, in my mind.</p> <p>Let's move on to more important things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1595840 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:41:30 +0000 Kemma 1595840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's the link to the blog post I mentioned, the comments by Georgia Peach (towards the end of the comments) are worth the read.</p> <p><a href="http://evolutionaryparenting.com/is-breast-really-best-the-debate-doesnt-end-here/" rel="nofollow">http://evolutionaryparenting.com/is-breast-really-best-the-debate-doesnt-end-here/</a></p> <p>[attach=1664/14/n4pg18.400x600.image.jpg] </p> [attach=1664/14/n4pg5n.400x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1595812 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:03:10 +0000 Kemma 1595812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually read an interesting blog post and a subsequent comment on this article over on the Evolutionary Parenting website, I'll try and find it and post the link. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1595810 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:00:11 +0000 googly-eyes 1595810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: lol love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1595803 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 13:55:47 +0000 blackbird 1595803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@espion, hilarious :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1595762 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 13:19:58 +0000 ILoveLettie 1595762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: I love this!

I enjoyed reading the other threads - I was particularly amused to see how quickly a couple of those in the best-is-best corner jumped to discredit the article in any way they could!! I read the article Mrs Jacks linked to which took a more scientific approach to discrediting it - and so I don't feel superior for FFing my kid or anything!- but I enjoyed their instant refusal to to even entertain the idea that breastfeeding might not be the most amazing thing ever all the same!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1595677 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:33:10 +0000 citymouse 1595677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: oooo thank ya! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1595672 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:28:02 +0000 lawbee11 1595672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a thread about this study not too long ago:</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-study-about-breastfeeding#post-1455873" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-study-about-breastfeeding#post-1455873</a></p> <p>ETA: I think this one was about that study, too:</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-new-york-times-on-is-breast-feeding-really-better" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-new-york-times-on-is-breast-feeding-really-better</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-between-siblings-breastfed-vs-formula#post-1595661 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:14:20 +0000 citymouse 1595661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not trying to start a debate, but this article reassured me a bit. I havent looked closely at the study but the few things I have read sound encouraging for Moms who choose or are forced to formula feed! </p> <p><a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2014/02/27/breast_feeding_study_benefits_of_breast_over_bottle_have_been_exaggerated.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2014/02/27/breast_feeding_study_benefits_of_breast_over_bottle_have_been_exaggerated.html</a> </p>
