my mother had to use it because she was hyper active and couldn't breast feed.
So I had forumula!

hyperactivity prevents breastfeeding? how come? U mean she was too impatient to sit down long enough?
funny pun btw.

Wow! Africa is becoming quite and aids laboratory. First the effect of circumcision on transmission and not the effect of breastfeeding? I wonder something. What if an adult drinks breast milk from an aids infected woman. Will this lower his chance of catching aids? Maybe the breast milk helps to build up antibodies or something.
I wonder if it's the fact that she's infected or just the fact that breastmilk contains things which are good for the immune system
About 2 yrs ago when I was working in another company, one of our cooks suddenly lost his second child at 8 yo. And other colleagues told me that his first child died at 8 yo too. They didn't look into it when it happened for the first time. And then they had this second baby, and she died too at the same age. Now that's weird. So they had a thorough autopsy this time and it turned out it's something bad in the mother's milk. If they had the autopsy when the first kid died, they wouldn't have breastfed the second kid and she wouldn't have died. So breastfeeding is not always good.
But yes, I breastfed my kid. Lower the risk of breast cancer.

hey u r not supposed to grab the food from those kids, let alone when they are at high risk of HIV.8O U must be a guy. Guys are mean.
Unless you pay $1,000,000 per ounce. ;-) And all the money are sent to Africa.
Yes, who breastfeeds someone elses' kid and lets her own kid drink rice soup or milk from some animal. This kind of job no longer exists now I guess.
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.
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.
yeah the mothers feel sub-par because they can't breast feed correctly.
Its usually related to stress and tension in most cases.

Yeah. I've heard of that. Ok you win.
But those women infected with HIV may not be that productive as healthy women.
We may consider raising HIV infected cows.
It was a very unusuanl infectious disease with a long and complicated name. I can't remember it.
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.
