So what do you (anyone) think about putting on cards statistics on NOT
breastfeeding. You wouldn't need to mention the word formula but things such
as:

If you don't breastfeed your baby has a ____% higher chance of XYZ. 

If you don't breastfeed a premature baby it has a ______% higher chance of
NEC. 

Talking about how only breastmilk can properly prepare a baby's intestines
for XYZ and how without mother's milk the baby's gut doesn't get this
preparation or defense. 

 

So you're not mentioning formula feeding, just what happens when you don't
breastfeed. 

This way it would turn the conversation to breastfeeding as normal and all
other options as less, rather than breastfeeding as superior or as going
above and beyond.

What do you all think?
