Anyone's dc get rsv?

I'm curious, if your dc got rsv, do you breastfeed?

I was reading that breastfed babies have a lower risk for lower respitory infections.  I'm curious if that would include rsv.

I am a bit skeptical of all these "studies" about BFed babies.  I have friends that have BFed for 1 year and their kids are still always sick.  While DS has been formula fed and only had a sickly bout this fall and it was ear infections, not respitory.

Others will argue differently, and maybe I am just trying to ease the guilt of not being able to BF, but whatever.

Agreed! I have a friend who BF for 14 months and her baby was sick 5 times during that time frame.

I bf-ed my twins for 7 months (well pumped since we had issues), my one daughter got the synagis shot and she has had RSV twice already!

My DS was BF until 16 months, got Synagis, and has not been sick at all. It helps that he is not in group care and is at home with a nanny.
