I have to put in 2 cents worth. I was born 61 years ago, when medical science was not what it is today. I was severly burned at somewhere areound 18 months old. The doctor said the ONLY thing that saved my life was the fact I ws brest fed. The antibodies and such I received from mom were what I needed and the doc couldn't supply. Every time I see a pregnant woman and get the chance, I highly encourage her to breast feed. It is absolutely the BEST thing you can do for your baby - and it might save your baby's life.
