I am extremely glad that the breast feeding fascists are once again clamouring for the 'right' to breast feed in public
Because I cant imagine a better way to send women rushing for the bottle - of formula of course, tho, who knows, maybe the chardonnay too
The idea that one might be expected - even forced - to breast feed in public is guaranteed to turn most people off
Theres no law against it anyway. What they are asking for is a law against my right to object
I have seen many women feeding - with perfect discretion - & probably failed to even notice lots of others. If someone is being very obvious about it theyre just an exhibitionist
And anyway, just where is the evidence that breast is best? Still less that it is a good idea to do it exclusively for 6 months
It cannot possibly exist
It can only, at best, be based on the same sort of small, limited, short term studies which led many to conclude that HRT was good for all post menopausal women
Where are the large samples? The long term longitudinal studies proving that life long benefits are conferred. Suitably controlled for social class etc etc etc
Still less, where are the studies of the benefits conferred by all members of the family being able to join in the joyous experience of feeding a baby - yes, even from a bottle?
I could go on, but thats enough
