[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I’m giving up on the quote function this morning:

I mean, she’s not wrong. What is more troubling to me is that it’s the same companies who were willfully allowing babies to die outside the United States to pad their bottom lines within our lifetimes. I don’t understand why people can look at a company who knowingly put babies in harms way— and think that they care at all about “our” babies. The formula industry needs to be regulated much, much more aggressively than it is now.[/quote]

She is not wrong that formula companies are marketing their products? Okay? The point you make about regulation is a separate one. Formula itself is highly regulated do please stop implying that the product itself is unsafe. That is not helpful to families that need to give their babies formula. What is going on right now, in 2023 is a separate issue which neither you nor OP have addressed directly because it is about protecting access to formula, not convincing people to avoid it.

[b]Btw lactivists also knowingly put babies in harms way by insisting that formula supplementation is evil and demanding that women who have undergone major surgery room in with their babies. Why should we trust them about a thing? I honestly think they belong in hell for starving babie[/b]s[/quote]

You seem to be conflating hospital cost cutting measures with “lactivism”. No one on this board is arguing to starve a baby or to deny access to hospital nurseries (or to make sure your hospital has a nursery before you choose where to deliver) who precisely are you arguing with?[/quote]

I've definitely seen people on these boards suggesting parents limit babies' intake of formula or pumped milk while at daycare and to question teachers that ask for more milk. And yes, rooming in is part of the Baby Friendly initiative which is an initiative of the ghastly lactivists.

Fyi I DID make sure my hospital was NOT Baby Friendly. My insurance no longer covers that hospital. To suggest a mother should be able to predict of she will [b]have a C-section and plan accordin[/b]gly is a stark reminder that you really DGAF about mothers or, by extension, babies.[/quote]

I don’t think nursery access should be limited to mothers who deliver by c-section. What a weird idea you just invented. [/quote]
