[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would this be related to purchasing formula through WIC? After the first year babies drink whole milk not formula.[/quote] They're trying to get low income women breastfeeding early and to continue after six months. Ignoring the very real barriers to that. [b]The evidence that breast milk is any better is NEGLIGIBLE at best.[/b] The AAP is a joke. [/quote] Agreed on this! Speaking as someone who's struggling to pump enough for my six month old baby who's started solids while working a cushy WFH office job, the idea that just telling someone trying to manage a stressful minimum wage job with a two month old they should breastfeed and thinking that that's in ANY WAY helpful is annoying. An AAP statement won't change US culture around parenting (and how it's something you're not supposed to take to work); all it will do is make people feel more stressed and guilty for trying to get by.[/quote]
