In a previous thread, we discussed the differences between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, with some of you sharing your personal experiences and preferences. This led to an interesting discussion about which method is most beneficial for babies.

Now I'd like to take it further by proposing a thought-provoking scenario: What if there were no significant difference in health benefits or practical aspects between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding? How would you justify one over the other, considering factors such as personal choice, convenience, social norms, and baby's ability to self-feed?

Please share your opinions and insights on this hypothetical situation. Some possible questions to consider are: what would be the implications for women who struggle with lactation or prefer not to breastfeed? Would bottle-feeding become the new norm, even if it meant some babies might be missing out on potential health benefits? Or would there be a concerted effort to promote breastfeeding as the primary method, despite no significant difference in outcomes?

Let's continue this interesting discussion by exploring the various perspectives and possible consequences of a world where breast and bottle-feeding are essentially equal.
