Very interesting thank you. I also wanted to know about the antibodies? We just finished NCT and they said the mother’s milk passes on antibodies to protect the baby from disease.

I really appreciate you tackling this topic. It's so freeing to know that Im not a failure, and haven't harmed my kids by not breast feeding them 16 years ago. Despite one of the mothers in our mothers group comparing formula feeding to voldemort.

Thank you! Yes - I know a lot of mums who feel bad about not breastfeeding and I think it's really important to know that while it's great if it works, the evidence that it makes much difference to the child's outcomes is pretty weak, so women shouldn't feel guilty if it's not for them.
