[edit] Risks

I think the Risks heading in the Maternal bond article lacks any real educational purpose. It's a biased silly statement with no proof or source. I believe it should either be rewritten with something substantial or removed in its entirety. Anyone else? Aneurysmal 04:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah - it's unsourced and far too vague. violet/riga (t) 08:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Breastfeeding as factor in bonding

I believe the material here misinterprets the research. The text ignores the possibility that mothers with stronger positive attitudes may be more likely to choose to breastfeed, and that physical problems that interfere with a baby's sucking (necessitating bottle-feeding)72.73.212.175 16:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC) may also cause negative expectations in the mother.
