Mick - I don't think anyone says that ALL ff kids get sick.. I mean.. not ALL smokers get lung cancer It is understood tho that ff can increase the chances of allergies and sickness. Recent generations have so many more food intolerances, and it's these generations that were fed formula as babies. I don't think it's a crock at all.

It's great that you've been involved in the feeding of your son That is also possible with breastfeeding, by the father feeding a bottle of expressed milk. It's not necessary to be ff'ing for the fathers to be involved.

And it's definitely a question for the males too.. there's usually two parents making these decisions
