Can everyone stop making this stupid argument, please? Please find me one vegan blog or cite one vegan person that you know who refuses to BF because it's "milk from a mammal." Veganism generally is concerned with animal products because animals cannot consent to our using them. A BFing mother is consenting. A mother BFing her own child is not in tension at all with veganism.[/quote]

NP here.  I have to agree with the previous PPs that human breast milk is not vegan.  The actual substance of human breast milk isn't vegan and could never be defined as vegan.  However of course it is not in conflict with the practice of veganism as we know it and never has been.

Think of it this way -- could an adult vegan eat products made from human breast milk or drink human breast milk and still be considered vegan?  No.

Now calm down, Ladies.  It isn't personal - it is a word definition and nothing more.  [/quote]

"Is breastfeeding vegan?  The short answer is yes."

Mainstream veganism considers BF vegan.  You're playing semantics to the point of absurdity.
