I've been seeing questions on here about people asking if their children's IQ would be higher since they breastfeed and if they formula feed it would be lower. If it is exactly the same, what is the point of breastfeeding? Same thing with the whole "bonding" issue. If a bottle feeding mother states she bonds just as well as a breastfeeding mother, again, what is the point in breastfeeding? I'm not asking to cause problems or have people be rude....I'm not downing either choice. A mother's choice, is exactly that...her own choice and I don't think there is anything wrong with either decision. I'm asking from a personal view point as I personally chose to breastfeed and haven't had any problems so I continue. My son is almost 5 months old and I enjoy it a lot, but I'm having a hard time seeing what the big difference is based on what I've been seeing on here. Could someone bring this subject to light for me?
