A perfectly logical and valid system. ALL infants should have NOTHING BUT BREAST MILK for the first six months of life. After that, other foods are introduced slowly while keeping up nursing as long as the child wants. Throughout this time the mother and baby may encounter a few problems, but by far most of them can be handled well with good advice and practices. The best source for this is La Leche League, established originally in Chicago and now with local Leaders throughout the world, and certainly available in most US and Canadian centers. But occasionally there are severe short-term problems that make it necessary to suspend the nursing relationship. In those cases, the alternative of switching to cow's milk (and no, goat's milk or soy products are no better!) is a very poor one. Human milk from one of these organizations is a much better choice. Even better is the possibility of having a friend who is also nursing her child take over for the short time that the ill mother is incapacitated. One of the trickiest parts of this is that, in some cases (say, a mother injured severely in an auto accident) there is no warning and VERY little time to make the alternative arrangement.

While breast feeding is ideal, formula is a fine substitute if breast feeding is not possible. There are many babies fed formula exclusively in the first year of their lives who grow up just fine.

Agreed. It is a fine substitute, but it's also inferior to the real thing. Numerous studies have shown extensive benefits for both mother and child of breastfeeding, but even absent such studies, it just makes sense that the breastmilk is finely tuned to be the perfect food for an infant.

nobody is debating that. yes boob milk is better but formula is not bad.

Doesn't a girl only produce milk after she has a babay?

Almost always, yes. Because of the hormone balance changes during pregnancy, the breasts are ready to produce milk very shortly after birth. In fact, for the few days they produce a special "pre-milk" fluid, colostrum, for the newborn.

I said "almost" because there are exceptions in unusual cases in which lactation can be induced successfully in a mother who wants to begin to nurse her baby well after birth, or even without a regular birth process. Induced Lactation takes a lot of expert advice and work, but it can be done.

Mr Chad and Double Trouble: you're quite right, of course. Rude dogmatism should have no place in our dealing with mothers. A mother needs all the support she can get in raising her infant.

I need me some fresh cambodian breast milk.

So you think nothing of feeding kids cow milk, but human milk is icky? 😉

I would question the screening methods. Is human milk as highly regulated as cow milk is? I know a few dairy farmers. If there's one little goof in their barn, and a cow that's on antibiotics gives milk that's added to the tank, and it goes into the tank truck, then they just bought the entire compartment in the truck. Sometimes, if they're at the end of a run, their tank in the barn is split over several or all (4?) of the compartments in the tanker. If that's the case, they bought the entire truckload of milk after it's tested. MAJOR $$$ if they screw up, so they're rather paranoid & extra cautious.

Actually... it's illegal to sell human breast milk in the US. Reason is - it is EXTREMELY regulated. The breast milk banks are fine and dandy, but they all but ruin the milk's inherent properties by pasteurizing it. Yes, it has to be pasteurized. I'm not sure what else needs to be done to it, but for the most part what ends up coming from a milk bank is only marginally better than formula (it's easier to digest, but for example most of the antibodies and such however are destroyed).

No, IgA is fairly heat stable. Human breast milk has been documented to provide some immune protection for the IgA deficient.

Just don't give them cows milk in the first year.

Using formula is sub-optimal. There's people who never spent a day in school their whole lives, but turned out fine; That doesn't mean it's the best course of action.

I'm not debating that, but there are people who act like feeding your infant formula is equivalent to giving them arsenic.

yea i dont get that. i was not breast fed and was given formula as my soul source of food as a infant.
