that's a very descartesian view, and from my experience and study also very unfounded. all you need to do is observe a baby while it's brestfed vs. bottlefed.
would you say that you feel the same after eating off the floor (very clean of course) vs. in a nice setting? after all, it's just about the nutrients, right?
- untog 11y ago>that's a very descartesian view No, it's a summation of the debate behind the phrase "bottle vs breast". From a few links when Googling: - "Deciding whether to breastfeed or use formula for your newborn?" - "Breast vs. bottle - breast milk is the perfect food for baby, with numerous advantages over infant formula" - "Here's help deciding if you should breastfeed your baby or bottle feed with formula." Pretty much every discussion of "bottle vs breast" is discussing "breastmilk vs formula". > would you say that you feel the same after eating off the floor (very clean of course) vs. in a nice setting? Would you say that a newborn baby is capable of comprehending the difference between a 5 star restaurant compared to a 3 star one? I'm not sure applying adult opinions to newborn babies is likely to achieve much.
