We often talk in terms of breastfeeding benefits.
Out, since breastfeeding is the human norm, we should rather speak of inconvenience, and I would hazard to give artificial milk for babies.
Infant formula:

- Increases the risk of cancer
- Increases the risk of bacterial infections
- Increases the risk of viral infections
- Increases the risk of death from infectious

- Increases the risk of hospitalization

- Increases the risk of asthma
- Increases the risk vascular
- Increases the risk of diabetes
- Increases the risk of postpartum infection for mother

It had to be told to put things in their place. Breastfeeding is the norm, as intrauterine pregnancy (an incubator, it happens to replace a uterus, but it has nothing to do anyway!).
I wanted to write, because I have a little (lot) tired of seeing mothers who CHOSE the bottle we say "ohhh they are guilty", and they should apologize and tell them "but no, it does not matter, it's the same thing, what matters is the love you give to your baby."
Well, no, those who voluntarily choose not to breastfeed, they have good reason to feel guilty, and it is not I who will tell them otherwise. I even feel the urge to drive the point home! Assume, and do not complain that you feel guilty!
By cons, for mothers who wanted to breastfeed but failed for lack of support and information for fear of failure, while there, do not feel guilty! Be angry against the medical system that does not help you, be angry against the lack of knowledge, but above all, do not feel guilty. I feel sorry for these moms there. And it is for them that I fight!
