I have 3 bio's that I wasn't able to breastfeed, and they are smart, healthy, and well adjusted. I take meds for my OCD and GERD that would pass through into the milk, and I was not going to take a chance on harming them, and it wasn't an option to stop taking the meds. Plus, my twins were very small at birth and my son was so weak we had to massage under his chin to help him swallow the half-ounce that he would take each feeding. There was no way that he could have breastfed anyways. And, for the record, I wasn't breastfed beyond the first 3 days of my life, and I have an IQ of 153! (Sore spot for me, too. LOL!)
