Haha. I was born in 1952, and was exclusively breast-fed by my mother for the first six months. When my sisters came along in 1956 and 1957 my mom had some health issues that prevented her from breastfeeding, so they both got formula and pablum also. Yet here I am the one with all sorts of weight and health problems and my two sisters are slender (both of them put together weigh less than I do!) and are in good health. |
