[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean…peoples feelings about the AAP are very extreme. They don’t recommend co-sleeping, a decision that was reached by *one vote* and people are very emotionally invested in that choice as well. Support for breastfeeding means genuine maternity leave. That doesn’t mean other values of parental leave don’t also exist, but supporting prolonged leave to give women who wish to the opportunity to breastfeed doesn’t do anything to harm efforts for people trying to get long term parental leave for both. If you don’t breastfeed why can’t you just decide this one isn’t about you and ignore it? That’s what I do when all the formula-from-Europe debates come up…[/quote] I do breastfeed, for a long time. But I also know bs when I see it and I want to push back against unrealistic and frankly regressive recommendations that do nothing to actually help mothers or babies. [/quote]
