Why must you convince them?

If you don't want to breast feed, then buy formula. Seems to work well for a lot of people.

Exactly. But some people also don't believe that you should immunize...

Yeah, I guess we are all a bunch of dumb hippies that don't know anything about anything and should just go live on our hippie commune sharing breastmilk and not injecting diseases into our kids.

I didn't say anything about being hippies or uneducated. If that's what you took it to mean, then that's on you.

The same arguement that you use saying that breastmilk doesn't pose a risk to anyone is very similar to the arguement that I can use that immunizations have and will continue to save lives.

Formula is not as good as breastmilk and does not nourish the baby in the same way. I don't want to go into it further for risk of offending people on here that may have used formula because it's a personal choice, nor do I expect anyone who hasn't had a kid or researched these two options to know that.

Plenty of healthy and smart people were raised on formula; worked out well for them.

As what was said earlier, some take it personally.

shit....my brother must be really screwing his daughter. He fed her formula AND immunized her!!!!!!!

I'm not going into a debate on formula. I'm simply not going there because it's another issue I feel very strongly toward and apparently am in the minority. I don't feel like being attacked even more today.

Tell me how breastmilk could make you sick. Tell me how it's unsanitary. Educate me then. If I had HIV or any other disease that might have a chance of passing through milk, I would not breastfeed. Nor would anyone else. If, by chance, someone's milk spilled on your food and you unknowingly ate it, you will not contract anything. And really, spillage isn't an issue anyway as long as it's stored properly, it probably won't get on your food which is probably also packaged in a sealed container yes?

I'm not saying you should go drink people's breastmilk, I'm only saying having it sealed and packaged in a community fridge should not be a big deal.

I extra kid you not.

Saying it is a health hazard is rationalizing how creepy it could be to someone.  Chances are whatever you choose to put into the fridge, then later eat constitutes a bigger health risk.  I would guess your chances of catching a case of AIDs from breast milk sharing a shelf with your food is about the same as catching BSE or anthrax from from the carton of cow milk also sitting there minding its own business.
By the line of reasoning used here, anyone with a scrotum or a bladder (also containers for bodily secretions) should stay away from refrigerators, food, kitchens (ahem), etc.  I am not in sympathy with the tit Nazis (La Leche League) or anything, but... com'onnn.  It is breast milk, not enriched uranium...

and one of our biggest troubles is convincing women to breastfeed.

This is really an issue? All of the moms I know breast fed, unless there was a good reason why they were unable.

What difference does it make? You're not going to get cooties from it, she's not forcing you to drink it.   [drink] I don't think she should need to change just because you're all not able to deal it.

I am not saying its a health hazard any more then the same container full of blood and or semen.  

I never heard of  La Leche League but I think they are a good source of information to new mothers.
Breast milk is the healthiest thing you can give your baby and mothers should know that.
Formula is a substitute but not as good...

OK..

Logic and Reason.
(from a person, who deals with machines all day, and must use logic and reason, or gets NO WHERE)

Its HUMAN BODY FLUID.

yes, I know its for babies. Yes boobies are good.. but.

Its still body fluid.

Think about it this way..

what if it was done in the refrigerator at a restaurant? would they be shut down? you bettcha.

a fridge at a resturant is no less important then the one you share with your co-workers.

also, for god sakes, have some consideration. you may like your boobie juice, but the 10 other people who's sammiches are in there may not.  take some personal responsibility to not gross every one out and spend the $100 on a mini fridge. seriously.
