[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The job of the AAP is to tell you what is the optimal practice. Not what you should do. You should exercise every day. You should eat at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day. You won't die if you don't but that is the optimal clinical outcome. Stop being so defensive and sensitive. [/quote]

Blaming the AAP is easier for some than having the confidence to chart their own parenting course.  This is a direct result of how our society treats women, so I don’t think it’s beneficial to hold it against the women who are defensive about it, but rather further evidence that we need systemic change.

Which is absolutely something that the AAP is advocating for in the policy statement along with the ACOG who have stated that women would have better outcomes with longer paid leave and more frequent PP checks. [/quote]

Again, actual paid leave advocates want PARENTAL leave, not leave that is only for mothers. They are not advocating for women charting their own parenting course, they say they are supporting BREASTFEEDING.[/quote]
