[quote=Anonymous]Appreciate what the author is trying to do here in trying to have a conversation about how breastfeeding is not free but I'm not sure if I like the idea of monetizing my every waking hour in that fashion. Kind of reminds me those stupid think pieces about SAHMs should be making thousands of dollars as a cook/chauffeur/babysitter. I agree that we need to value the time and effort spent in caregiving but I don't think it's wise to put it through the lens of capitalism. And whether or not I breastfeed my kids still would have needed to eat, and how would one monetize the value of time and labor spent making bottles and cleaning them (one of my least favorite baby chores) [/quote]
