Where YOU breastfed or formula fed? How do you think your mother's choice affected your development/intelligence level?
Also do you think your mothers fought with other mothers about how to feed a baby or do you think they were smart enough to realize it doesn't matter that much as long as the baby is getting fed?
I was Formula feed and turned out fine.. I also breastfeed both my children for over a year..
Yes I do know its most important they are being fed and I also know they can turn out fine if formula feed... I still preferred to breastfeed... I felt it was better for the child( natural vs man made) gave us great bonding time and felt most natural to me!
What others choose is great for them but I will stand, even though I was formula feed that breastfeeding is still the best choice.. Not the only but best!

I was combination fed as an infant but that's not an option so I didn't vote.

i was formula fed. my intelligence is normal. ive always had issue with my ears and i have horrible allergies though.
my brother is the only one of my moms children that got breastmilk.. and his IQ was tested and he is on the genius level.
My mom gave me PET's watered down. The doctor also gave her liquid vitamins to give me.
ETA: I feel that I am of average intelligence. The last IQ test I took said I was slightly above average but even those vary on several factors. I play several musical instruments and absolutely love the arts. I really don't think what my mother gave me as an infant affected any of this. I personally believe it is more environmental and genetic.
