But those women infected with HIV may not be that productive as healthy women.
We may consider raising HIV infected cows.
My point is, if the mother has an infectious disease(which can infect the baby thru her milk) then she's not supposed to breastfeed her kid at all.
1st, there might be some gross error in that research. I was a marketing researcher so I know sometimes a tiny little mistake could result in a big error and a totally wrong conclusion. I hope they'll do it again to confirm the conclusion. Of course, if there's no gross error and it's true, that'll be great.
2nd, they compared babies fed with solids IN ADDITION to breast milk, and those fed with fomula or animal milk IN ADDITION to breast milk, and those fed with only breaset milk. But they didn't mention those who are fed with non-breast milk at all.

Yeah. I've heard of that. Ok you win.
Actually, some larger cities have breast milk banks which have taken over that role. I think Vancouver has the only one in Canada. Down here, we buy breast milk to give to some of our premature babies. It costs about $80 an ounce.

It was a very unusuanl infectious disease with a long and complicated name. I can't remember it.
What sort of problem with breast milk kills children at the age of 8 years?

But of course if u r a healthy mom, breast feeding is the best choice.
Not easy though.
I was not good at producing milk. Had to eat/drink those peanut & pork trotter soup, crucian soup and etc every week. Some of my friends gave up. But I stuck to it. Errrr Now I hate these stuff.

Yes i've heard about this. I'm sure we'll work it out.
Learn now before your wife has the baby: breastfeeding can be really tough!!! It is natural, but natural and easy are two different things. I can't tell you how many moms I've had in tears because they were having trouble with breastfeeding.

Here, we obviously don't let HIV + moms breastfeed. We're rich enough to be able to solely formula feed.

Probably because in Africa, mothers don't have the option to solely formula feed. They just don't have the resources to buy formula.

Reading this is really confusing! On one hand milk is a body fluid and there is the risk of passing HIV to a child. Are the findings to be translated to mean that with a child born HIV infected to a mother who is HIV infected, and breastfeeds, then the child is less likely to die? Has this actually anything to do with HIV immunity; or just the passing of Immunity and Resistance to other infections that may result in death?

seems quite simple to me. Women who have HIV and have a kid can pass it to their kid via breastmilk. If they're given ONLY breastmilk, they're less likely to get it than if they're given BOTH breastmilk AND a substitute. Assuming there are no other options, pure breastmilk is the best option to avoid giving HIV to your kid. Here in the west, your best option is likely to give just formula, or get a wetnurse (or modern alternative).
