Good arguments for paid 3-month maternity leaves and for "Take your baby to work" programs.
Years ago, the science was that the antibodies from the Mom passed to the Baby were only in the colostrum (first milk), so unless the science has changed, I don't see the argument for preventing infections, etc. out to 6 months. I do think there are psychological benefits of keeping the Mom and Baby together, but sometimes the emotional arguments for breast-feeding sometimes seem to go overboard. e.g., preventing cancer |

but remember, we only care about the boobies.
Srsly, i don't have a problem with it. If a doctor will sign off on it as a health benefit, it should be included. Of course there will be crooked doctors who will help people screw the system. but this already happens. Why make nursing working mothers they people who have to pay for that?

Yeah, i don't either.) ![]() Anyhoo, it's only about the pumps. I think women could do without them, as a medical supply. Just squeeze boobehs really hard into a large bowl then, using a funnel, transfer milk to an old water bottle. If you can't afford a funnel you can use a SNANK bag. Water bottles can be found in your nearby landfill. ![]()

right. I seriously doubt many doctors would refuse to sign off on a breast pump regardless of whether the health reasons were dietary or otherwise or the benefits for mother or baby or both. Unfortunately, this is a sensible solution.

If only it were that simple. For most women it isn't. I got lucky, 'cause that breastpumping thing aint a whole wheelbarrow load of joy in my experience.
Maybe doctors should only sign off on things that hurt a whole shitload. 'Cause then we know they're good for you....?

No, just outdated. But he admitted that himself.

Monster, he used 'emotional' deliberately because it is associated with women, or maybe its just ingrained in him...he is from an older generation. Go ahead and give him a pass if you want, but it was a stupid word to choose.

Ultrasounds are better detectors of breast cancer than mammograms and hurt a lot less, but you know...women can handle anything. Oh, and an ultrasound is more expensive. Soon women will go back to pushing out a baby in their family's backyard and, after a five minute rest period, get back to beating clothes against the rocks in the creek.

Maybe if you had been breastfed, you wouldn't have Crohn's now.
