breastfed babies result in better behaved children?

[I_AM_LIVID]

My faves are: ''My wife, she make very much noise when she do a toilet''
and ''My moustache still tastes of your testes!''

One of my favourite is: "I am retired" and Borat says "Oh, you're a ******?" Gets me everytime.

ETA: BnB automatically edited my post. Apparently you can't use the R word, even in a Borat joke. Oops.

this is just stupid imo. surely its how you raise a child not what you feed them as babies.

im very pro towards BF and i gave it ago but after a month it unfortunatly didnt work out for us.but all these things coming out about BF recently are just trying to force people into believing BF is the only way and FF is very bad for your child and if you FF your failing your child as a parent.everyones quick to give the pro of BF but you will never hear the down points to it.

wtf? no tan lines on you arse but great big ones from your halterneck top??

I have a dress that needs a c-string, but $24 for something I'll probably only wear once, is just not worth it. I'll just do what I've done before and that's go commando.

Looks like the thread has gone off topic haha but I haven't read all 30+ pages. Just gonna answer the OP

I breastfed my oldest for only about a month then he went onto formula due to endless problems we were having. Then my 2nd we breastfed until 11mo. They've been raised the same otherwise but do have very different personalities and have since newborn stage, I don't think I'd say it has anything to do with how they were fed. BUT my 2nd son is generally a much better behaved kid. My oldest isn't bad by any means, he's just a typical little boy, talks a little too much in class sometimes, but does listen and behave, he gets distracted sometimes and is hyper at times...but definitely not bad behaved by any stretch. But my middle son is very very calm, quiet, is all about the rules and is finishing kindergarten in less than 2wks without ever having his clip moved (which means they've been warned to stop doing something that against the class rules)...he's 6 and my oldest is 8.

But then I look at my 3rd son and that child is CRAZYYYY lol, he's our little monster. He's only 3.5 but he was nursed until 19mo and is just like his oldest brother plus even crazier. I bet he'll give us the most trouble when he gets to school being a clown and in trouble for goofing off all the time.

Sorry to crash the thread. I haven't read it all (only the first page). It seems to be yet another thread where FFers can push themselves further in denail. Yes I know what I've just said may be offensive but everything BF-related is offensive to FFers. Why do you guys dismiss all pro-breastfeeding research? I see FFers doing it all the time.

 

[JASMAK]

I don't FF but know many who do, and I don't think everything BF-related is offensive to them. I think that's a gross generalization. I just think that some people (on both sides of the feeding spectrums) are very competitive. Let's not even talk just about feeding...just parenting in general. Everybody thinks they are a good parent...the best, right? But, some people, for whatever reason, thinks that they are the best parent...for real. I think most of us are really awesome parents, and it would be really cool if we could live in a world where we listen, accept, and care about others and their choices and not take it as a threat to our own motherhood.

this post is rude, provocative and uncalled for. Moreover it is inaccurate as many of the posts on this thread are from FF mums who have said pro BF research is informative. I have reported your post and hope nobody is upset by what you've written.

You're right when you say that parenthood is competative. Parents are constantly comparing their childs progress with other children, but if we stick with the FF/BF issue for a moment. Why would a BFing parent view FF parents as a threat?

I can't answer that. I personally don't. I do know that some moms who FF have tried very hard to BF and who have never been able to BF and they don't need it rubbed in their face that they can't. This is something that I am very sensitive to. Nobody needs to explain their choices to me, or why they parent a certain way. I think it's rude to assume that those who do FF are ignoring the strong evidence that BF is 'better'. Who are we to criticize and judge? I wish breastfeeding, personally, was more widely accepted, even where I live, where all the moms I hang out with do breastfeed. But tht is far as it goes for me...I don't ask questions, judge, or even comment to another mom on their choices about FF/BF.

 

[crossroads]

What things would count as "rubbing it in their face"? Would you count this research as doing that?

Nobody needs to explain their choices to me, or why they parent a certain way.

Totally agree. So why is it that everytime I meet other mothers and mention that I breastfeed, the mothers launch into a 20 minute presentation on why they didn't produce enough milk/their baby didn't latch/ they had a c-section/ they got trush/their milk never came in/ their nipples fell off.

It's very uncomfortable to have this every time I mention that I'm breastfeeding. I can guarantee that it happens every time I mention it (unless the other mother is a breastfeeder of course).

Why do FFers seem fixated on this? If they were secure with their choice then they wouldn't feel the need to defend it all the time. If they honestly thought that all the research/World Health Organisation/Department of Health/Unicef were talking rubbish, they they wouldn't be so "upset".
