ashamilee I think at four our brains just accept what adults tell us. Had the baby come when you were six, you probably would have asked more questions.

ashamilee Not because of my own personal feelings, but facts. Babies who were formula fed are at greater risk of asthma, obesity, have lower average IQs - plus there are a lot of benefits to the mother as well. Sure a lot of kids turn out "fine" when their formula...

anij34 @anij34 (317) • United States 22 Jun 07

ashamilee Personally, I don't believe in God. There just isn't any proof to me. I think that leaving your financial stability to some high power that no one can prove exists is irresponsible. Children are blessings - but that doesn't mean you should have 15 of them if...
