laney. (64.2 days ago) I was formula fed but both my little brothers were breast fed for a year each. I, out of the 3 of us, get sick less often. I`ve had the flu once in my life (never had a flu shot) and I rarely get colds. While my brothers get sick more often and each have had the flu a couple times.
Lou-Li (64.3 days ago) This poll is very interesting. I was just wondering about this as I was having one of my `guilty` spells, because my nearly-17-month-old twins have been sick with minor colds lately, and one of them (my son) is sick again with I don`t know what (high temp, etc), and I was feeling guilty because they were only breastfed for 7 weeks, also we have decided not to vaccinate but they did have their first vaccine at 4 months - the 5-in-1 , and my fiancé is convinced this causes the colds etc. ... it is an interesting debate and results vary so much because of individual circumstances..
adriana03 (64.3 days ago) my daughter was not breastfed my son was and my daughter is actually a little healthier. Thats my reason for the poll it seems a bit strange. My son gets sicker more often and his colds last longer. My sons fevers last longer. My daughter is usually never ever sick or has never had any health problems. IDk.
My4lovelygirlies (64.3 days ago) Actually, no...my first one was all formula, my 2nd one was breast and formula for 3 months, and then jsut formula, my last 2 have been only breast. There is no difference in their health at all.
jessberr31 (64.4 days ago) I have 3 brothers, there are four of us, and all of us were BF except my middle brother. My mom said she noticed no diff whatsoever healthwise or intelligencewise.
