[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop harping about what what Nestle did in the 1980s when it is now 2023. The baby friendly initiative is the new Nestle. And even if aggressive breastfeeding promotion may be more justified in other developing countries it does not justify the immense pressure in this country. So much harm in the past two decades making babies go hungry in the name of breastfeeding. [/quote]

Stop harping on Nestle…a company promoting a food for babies… knowingly endangering and killing babies? Really. Is it because they were black and poor that we should stop harping? Or because it hurts your feelings that the company making billions doesn’t actually care about the safety of your child? [/quote]

Because they harmed babies forty fifty years ago. What is harming babies now is the unethical paternalistic and sometimes colonial aggressive push of breastfeeding. Since my child dehydrated when I was a first time mom why yes I feel strongly about it. [/quote]

They killed babies thirty years ago and have continued many of their same practices. Yes you didn’t see those babies.

[b]Your guilt over letting your baby become dehydrated is understandable and I’m sorry you did not feel able to give your child formula, [/b]but your faith in major companies to have the best interests of children in mind over profits is misplaced. [/quote]

DP You are a disgusting, abusive troll who makes the world a worse.[/quote]

Agrees, but that poster is also an unintentionally excellent advocate of formula. If I am a new mom and I read nasty nonsense like what that PP wrote, I am dismissing the breastfeeding advocates as misogynist whackos (which that one clearly is).

That PP is doing more to advocate for formula than anyone else in this thread. [/quote]
