I didn't deny it was best for health.Only that it's best. I hate it when doctors act as if the only concern anybody has in life is to be healthy. It's also unfair to call mothers lazy merely because they don't wish to be physically pinned to their children all through the day.
Yes, antibodies are nice, and useful, but so is freedom of movement. There are other desires a person may have which compete with living in absolute perfect health, or with the optimum health of their child.
Mountain biking - to take a random example - would probably be most healthy if performed at home, on an exercise machine. Reduced risk of broken bones.

I like getting hammered and smokingI don't do those things now.
I don't like changing nappies, but I still did it.
I'd suggest (and mean) that if someone isn't prepared to care for their child in the best way that they can (and, again, I stress that there are situations where breast feeding is not an option) then maybe they should rethink breeding?
Mountain biking only hurts Manley.
Not wanting to feed the child properly is not in the same ball park.

Won't somebody please think of the children!...is an absolutist and self-righteous mode of thought. Nothing is absolutely sacred, including children's perfect health.

BollocksThis isn't 'perfect' health, it's no different than continuing smoking through pregnancy because you like it.
Having to feed the kid is part of having it.
I am not sating that it is fair to call mothers lazy merely because they don't wish to be physically pinned to their children all through the day. - I wouldn't expect anyone to want that, but to not do it just because one doesn't want to is lazy.

I think I don't know what I'm arguing about, actually.I suppose I'd advise people to breast-feed because of the antibodies thing, and then accept it if they didn't want to; and the same goes for not smoking near the baby, too. I don't suppose you're saying these things should be made law, any more than I am. So we're essentially arguing about a matter of degree: how interfering and nagging we ought to be. My considered opinion is meh.
