>BTW BF babies have better responces to vaccines. Obviously. BF babies have better responses to everything. However, if we "BF fanatics" object to assaulting our babies with oral bovine and soy products, perhaps we should also question the wisdom of assaulting their bloodstreams and immature immune systems directly with viral cocktails containing such delightful substances as chicken proteins, thimerosal, and human blood products. Sure we've all been taught that vaccination is safe and effective preventative medicine, but we've also been told that abm is "safe" too... I'm not pro- or anti- vaccine, just skeptical and suspicious by nature. As far as long-term health goes, I'd lay my money on the breasfed, unvaccinated child over the non-breastfed, vaccinated one any day. Jennifer Landels, BA, CE Vancouver BC
