Re: ------Formula Fed & Not Vaxing------

[Guest guest]

Vaccinating is not a substitute for breastfeeding... in other words,

if a formula-fed baby is vaxed it doesn't suddenly make them healthier

or less likely to get sick. Vaxing is never safe... period...

regardless of what a child eats. Something is telling that mother to

stop vaxing... she should be encouraged and supported in that

decision.
