Trump administration says no to breastfeeding

[RandySF]

“A resolution to encourage breast-feeding was expected to be approved quickly and easily by the hundreds of government delegates who gathered this spring in Geneva for the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly,” the New York Times reports.

“Based on decades of research, the resolution says that mother’s milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes.”

“Then the United States delegation, embracing the interests of infant formula manufacturers, upended the deliberations.”

8. Trump thinks breastfeeding is disgusting.

Remember the story of the woman lawyer who was taking a Trump deposition who said she needed a break to go pump breast milk for her baby in privacy? He was quite public in his disgust.

For those who don’t know much about breastfeeding here’s a little lesson. Babies are fed on a schedule of every 3 or 4 hours. The human body adjusts to this schedule and gives its own notice when time is up. Breasts start leaking milk right on cue. You can set your watch by it, so naturally working mothers schedule breaks around this fact of life to pump her baby’s milk to be given when she and her baby are reunited after work. If she doesn’t do this her body will stop producing milk.

12. We must remember this if Nikki Haley ever runs for Pres or VP.

I don't vote for one gender over another. I vote for those with solid, humane policy stands. Haley is never getting my vote. She lacks courage and wisdom.

13. This will not go over well with suburban women

With any women really, but the GOP definitely needs suburban women.
