Formula feeding impairs mother-infant attachment compared with breastfeeding.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that formula feeding impairs mother-infant attachment compared with breastfeeding?

No. A 2006 study in Pediatrics found no direct relationship between attachment security and breastfeeding practice, with interaction quality rather than feeding type predicting security. A 2003 longitudinal study found breastfeeding dyads had somewhat higher-quality relationships but bottle-feeding dyads did not show poor or precarious relationships, so neither supports the claim that formula feeding impairs attachment.
