[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard a statistic on NBC News with Lester Holt that gave me pause. He said, “Over 60% of the formula purchased in this country did so using WIC vouchers”. Basically, low income and nationally deficient children under 5. Who exactly is supposed to promote breastfeeding? [/quote] Why does this surprise you? In a country with already abysmal maternity leave, lower income mothers are more likely to have lesser options than those with better jobs, less likely to afford unpaid leave, more likely to have jobs that don’t have safe spaces to pump. Our country’s appalling maternity leave should be what gives you pause. [/quote]
