Bottle or breastfed.

Who here was bottle-fed (formula) as a child? I'm talking about since birth.

My wife is doing some research on formula-fed children been more prone to diseases.

I was a bottle baby, and besides UC, I was always extremely healthy actually. I never had any type of illness, not even bugs really as a child. I could eat anything without repercussion. Rarely needed antibiotics/medication for anything, probably the times I did, i didn't actually need them. Never broke a bone. Developed UC in my mid20s. There was a lot of info on this on the UC board. It's come up multiple times, but I am not sure about on the Crohn's board. Definitely try searching. I actually hate milk of all sorts, and realized that when I was quite young. I wouldn't touch it now, and haven't since I was a baby.

bottle. mom had bad nips. couldnt do anything for that back in the early 60's

Breastfeeding is protective against IBD. As straydog said, it was discussed and studies were linked if I remember right.

Bottle- I had the disease since early childhood but I would rarely get any stomach bugs or colds or anything in that matter
