Health outcomes differ substantially for mothers and infants who formula feed compared with those who breastfeed, even in developed countries such as the United States. A recent meta-analysis by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reviewed this evidence in detail1:

  • For infants, not being breastfed is associated with an increased incidence of infectious morbidity, including otitis media, gastroenteritis, and pneumonia, as well as elevated risks of childhood obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, leukemia, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
  • Among premature infants, not receiving breast milk is associated with an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
  • For mothers, failure to breastfeed is associated with an increased incidence of premenopausal breast cancer, ovarian cancer, retained gestational weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome.

Oye Mits, do you still breast feed?

I agree, breast feeding is important.  Colostrum is critical in the earliest of days!

As me late fren John bruk han would say at two years old, ' Mama me want bobo'.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO BREASTFEED ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. ITS A HUMAN RIGHT.

Our healthy community supports healthy environments.   

John Gopaul was a real guy whom I grow up  with in the logies at Albion. We were about the same age.  He would often pass his arithmetic book through the crack in the wall separating our families,  so I can do my school home-work, thinking little about our family privacy.

As a teenager he taught me  to smoke  menthol cigarettes at Belvedere to the time I quit in Vancouver in 1972. John moved to Minnesota and worked for Wells Fargo. Until one day he stood at his kitchen counter and had a massive stroke that placed him as a completely disabled person in bed for  rest of his life. He died a few years ago.

I last saw him in Apple Valley a  few years ago after returning from Urbana in St. Louis, when his single parent mother taught us to make special roti.

As a child, John broke his arm and had a cast, so we called him 'John bruk hand'.

Since we were the same age, I was told John  was breast fed and at two years old he would say to his Mom, 'Mama me want bobo'.

RIP me fren, Jan bruk han.
