In the world of scientific research, some discoveries change the very fabric of how we understand human development and the intricate connections that shape our lives. Katie Hinde, a pioneering researcher and biologist, is one such figure whose groundbreaking work has reshaped our understanding of breast milk.

A Mother’s breast milk changes when the needs of the baby change. Somehow it adds calcium when the baby’s calcium requirements increase.
I hope this research gets legs. It was clear 40 years ago that breast milk was vital and improved long term health for breast fed infants. La Leche League educated, mentored and championed breast milk feeding.
In 1980, the breastfeeding initiation rate in the United States was approximately 54%. For infants born in 2020 in the USA, 25.4% were exclusively breastfed through 6 months of age, up from 17.2% for those born in 2010.
This is an incredibly sad statistic. Mothers are choosing convenience over the best interests of their babies. Not only by optimizing nutrition, immunological benefits, emotional development, gut health but also in avoiding contaminated or poisoned formula. The recent world-wide recall of infant formula from major producers such as Nestle because of contaminated ingredients from Wuhan is the latest example.
The preoccupation with self absorption and self actualization has devastating repercussions for those that were once (& IMO should be) nurtured in preference to self.
It’s a gateway drug!
Hi Jay, send the link to anyone in your list who might be interested.
I knew my cow’s milk was trying to communicate with me, but all I hear is a series of moo.
I click the link and get impenetrable layers of popup ads.
Is this woman a lesbian?
Human breast milk is better than cow’s milk for human babies. Healthier across the board since the beginning of time! Who didnt know this?
Sounds like a bunch of horns blaring. Stupid liberals have to re-invent themselves every time they fuck up.
In the land of dairy communication, I have the deepest conversations with my Bushmills and eggnog.
The article blew my mind, it proves once again the we are truly wonderfully made by God.
Could the decrease be connected to how many nursing mothers are in medications such as antidepressants that would make it unsafe for their infants to nurse? What about the GLP-1 class of medications or all the other ones advertised which make it clear they function at least in part by seriously compromising the immune system?
#1 What about alcohol
#2 What about cocaine, fetynahl....
Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol.
I think the timing of the decreases argues against the reason being medication related. Furthermore antidepressant medications have been demonstrated to have a negligible transmission to breast milk and lactation while on those medications is encouraged not discouraged.
In 1980 approximately 54%.
In 2020 25.4% were exclusively breastfed through 6 months of age, while for those born in 2010 17.2%.
In the U.S., adult antidepressant use was roughly 10.6% in 2009–2010, rising to 13.8% by 2017–2018, and continuing to increase in subsequent years.
There were a bunch of articles like this a couple years including studies that showed c sections deprived babies of their mothers protective Bacteria.
Thanks that does help clarify things.
I did not include those because I was just thinking of regularly prescribed legal meds. Of course I hope new moms on illegal drugs are not breastfeeding.
Medicaid is a barbell. Senior citizens at one end, children at the other end. Most children (on CHPS) are cheap, a checkup of a healthy kid most years.
But newborns (and their moms) are the high cost on that end of the barbell because their moms were on alcohol, drugs, ets. Both pre and post pregnant moms also have pre-clampsia due to a life-long cultural habit in GA of too much sugar... according to a doctorate thesis at Emory U a couple years ago.
Gurgle, gurgle.
