Adam Ruins Everything - Why Baby Formula Isn't Poison | truTV

Oh, okay Uh, wait Is that formula? No tell me you're breastfeeding? Well, I tried, but he kind of was having a hard time latching at the hospital and the nurse says it was okay if I used supplement so.. Um, formula is toxic You have to breastfeed. Oh, no way. I hate when people breastfeed in public do that at home nobody wants to see that Um, Excuse me? Adam, Help me Tell them which one is right well no no way am I getting in the middle of this I heard formula has autism in it That's it! Hi Ms. Murphy Hey Patty You - you're gonna tell mom where and when she can feed her baby? get a life. Breastfeeding is normal natural and great preach sister and you how dare you judge how a mom feeds her kid. Formula isn't just healthy and safe. It's a literal life saver. Emily. Let me show you Okay. Knowledge from a primary source before formula the only way to feed your baby was to breastfeed and forget about getting anything else done because Breastfeeding takes 35 hours a week what? Like a full-time job and the worst thing is if you couldn't breastfeed there weren't any other good options My teets all tapped looks like it's bread soaked in water for you little spud This is a real thing people did babies grew up malnourished or died if their moms couldn't breastfeed That's horrible Then in1865 this Friggin Albert Einstein named Eustace von liebig invented baby formula ma'am your baby shall no longer dine on duck food instead even dine on on science! Formula allows women to leave the house or join the workforce, but most importantly its save babies lives Look out world, here we come! Formul isn't scary. It's a modern miracle. Okay, but isn't formula just a bunch of chemicals. Well yeah, Emily It is because literally everything is bunch of chemicals breast milk is also chemical. The question is whether those chemicals are nutritionally different and the answer is no. Meet professor and lactation expert Courtney Young Hi, Emily. Hi patty is right formula is a safe and nutritionally complete alternative to breast milk. For things like IQ Asthma, Allergies, eczema, once you account for income and education there's almost no difference between breastfeeding and formula feeding the evidence that breastfeeding makes a difference is just inconclusive oh yeah, I formula-fed murph. I breastfed his brother derf and they're both idiots. Oh mom. Derf just threw a bocce ball at me! The fact is Formula feeding is a completely safe and nutritious alternative to breastfeeding if you want or need to feed your baby formula do it with confidence Wow, thank you. Thanks Professor Young What about places where they don't have access to clean water good question here of all mixing contaminated water with formula can be harmful? But if you use clean water and sterilize bottles it's a completely safe and nutritious option Not so fast I read mommy blogs like for fun, and they say that breastfeeding actually makes your baby Love you more, because it releases of bonding chemicals called Oxytocin. Oh. Oh. Can take this one? Go ahead. Oxytocin is a hormone that gets released when you do things like hug or cuddle That's why the media loves to call it the love hormone But the same hormone is also released when you do things like fire a gun or watch porn According to a comprehensive review from 2008 there is no convincing support for a connection between breastfeeding and the quality of the mother-infant relationship Breastfeeding is a great way to bond with your baby But it's not the only one and the fact is not all women can do it 15 percent of moms can't breastfeed not to mention the parents who foster and adopt so The next time someone tries to guilt-trip you or any other parent about how they feed their baby You tell them they can eat my feet Thanks, Patty

Okay, but the part where she says she breastfed one son and formula fed the other one, yet they're both morons is my favorite thing ever.

I was lucky enough to see this video before I even got pregnant. I never had any judgment for formula moms, but I was looking forward to breastfeeding. My mom breastfed all six of her kids and as the oldest, I got to see first hand how beautiful it is. I remember feeding times as the times Mom read stories to the rest of us, I remember stroking my little brothers and sister's soft hair as they snuggled contentedly against Mom. I did want that. I didn't get it. Not even once.

I love the internet. Information like the above video helped me a lot in getting over my disappointment. My son loves me even without breastfeeding, we are bonding just fine, and I don't worry that he's not getting the nutrients he needs. He's healthy and happy and kicking all his milestones in the butt. I'm so thankful for formula.

(My mom's response to my lack of breastfeeding: "Honey don't worry about it, lots of people grow up on fine on formula. I did.")

Without going into uninteresting details, nothing was going right for breastfeeding. I thought the world was trying to prevent me from being a "good mom" or "doing the right thing for my son," and I sacrificed so much, only to ultimately fail.

I watched this video a full 12 months after I stopped trying to feed my son my breast milk, and I burst into tears. It's a funny video, but I never realized how traumatic the breastfeeding journey had been for me. I wish I had seen this long ago- maybe it would have made stopping easier for me.

I wanted to share this video with the parents out there who are feeling guilt, shame, remorse, or sadness about not breastfeeding. It's funny, informative, and only 4:24!

I think at this point, it's only unreasonable assholes that are still on the formula shame train. I formula fed from go (I didn't even try! Because I didn't want to!), and even I'm a little tired of the circlejerk about formula. Yup, it's totally fine, and so is breastfeeding and can we all just stop being self righteous about what our kids eat? Because my 2 year old now insists on drinking her bath water every night, so what she ate for the first year of her life is frankly of the least concern to me right now.

I used formula for the first time this past week because my breasts were so sore (growth spurt and I had nothing left!) It bummed me out but having that as an option and seeing her go from screaming tomato to happy baby again gave me such relief. Glad I have it.

“Knowledge from a primary source!” Lol love it!

[u/Mark080]

Genuine question here.

The video in this thread states there are no health benefits in using breast milk over formula. In the UK the NHS (National Health Service) promotes breast milk as having many health benefits for both mother and baby over using formula milk. Is that not the case in the States?

One example:

"Breastfed babies are less likely to develop infections such as Gastroenteritis, Chest infections, Ear infections and Urinary tract infections. Breast milk makes your baby’s digestive system more acidic, it prevents harmful bacteria from growing which reduces the risk of infections."

I saw this episode a while back but needed it again right now. A little over one week in and had to start supplementing with formula. It's so hard to find information about supplementing or even good information about formula. Thanks for The reminder. Got me a little teary.
