I was adopted, and therefore not breast-fed - I was not overly sick as a
child. Now life as an adult. . . that is a different story. Nine kids -
wow, I have five breast-fed kids, and my son, who is 9, was sick continually
for the first two years - "asthma" related illness. Eventually this passed
and he is hardly ever sick now.

Funny, Mom breast-fed all nine of us. But then again, she was a health-food
fanatic while we were kids, and started gardening organically about 10 years
before it became fashionable.

My devil's advocate response is that there are occasional situations in
which breast feeding is not possible. My brother and his wife adopted a
child this year, and I'd hate to think he's doomed to sickliness simply
because he wasn't breast-fed!
