Reply #22: And if you're using bottles

plastic or otherwise, you're probably giving them formula, not breast milk. Every so often they figure out that there's some other utterly essential nutrient in breast milk that has been left out of the formula.

Neither of my two never had drop one of formula. They never got breast milk in bottles, either. And for what it's worth, my oldest son is mildly autistic, has Asperger's Syndrome. They both have an auto-immune disorder, alopecia areata, which causes hair loss. So there are no perfect guarantees of anything.
