If you’ve been reading my posts, those questions are already answered.
What I object to is the drumbeat of negativism where the exceptions are put forth at the rule and women are given the message that it’s not evn worth trying.
And your posts do that. You are constantly harping on the few exceptions as if that’s common and apparently not even reading the comments back to you.
Nobody is proposing eliminating or banning formula, which you seem to think is what’s going on.
No, I have a very few people here whom I read routinely. I see your posts now and then, but I don’t specifically follow you.
And I didn’t suggest that anyone was proposing banning or eliminating formula. I’m not sure where you got that.
I just don’t like the glib response of so many people here who belittle what mothers are going through right now by saying, ‘let them breast feed’. There are women who have relied on formula from the beginning, and now they can’t get it. As others have said, it’s not something a woman can just turn on like a faucet when an emergency like this arises.
There is no good reason why families should be going through this shortage. It’s due to bureaucratic stupidity and the laziness, irresponsibility and general failure of this administration. It is NOT women’s fault, and telling women to ‘just breastfeed’ is no solution; it’s also a very stupid response to a crisis.
