[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree though, there should be more focus on access -- the women who are most vulnerable and would benefit most from breastfeeding are those who are least able to do it. And a level-set that the WHO's "until 2 years old" rec is more meaningful for parents in countries without clean water or reliable nutritious food.[/quote]

That's code for "I want to spend fewer tax dollars on formula in the WIC program" . Maybe we should just make sure babies get fed. FFS.[/quote]

Jesus, no. But it would be great if there were real choices for women other than going right back to a minimum-wage job vs. having maternity leave long enough to breastfeed if they choose. [/quote]

Ok, maybe the AAP should recognize maternity leave as a goal in and of itself rather than simply being only good for breastfeeding. Btw a 2 year "maternity leave" would be horrible for women. 6 months parental leave for persons of all genders is what we need and it should not be about breastfeeding, that is a side benefit for those who want it.[/quote]
