Bullshit

Yeah it’s totally not the fault of monopolies which refused to follow FDA health guidelines and were shutdown…

Life has choices… choices have consequences.

Nah. It was a disgusting baby formula plant but ok.

Breasts are reserved for the big babies now.

Because in America it’s shameful to breast-feed in public. God forbid anybody sees a breast !

Women need to work and pumping at most jobs is impossible

Embarrassing

Drop in breast feeding rates because America give new mothers 15 minute of paid maternity leave! Wow! 😡🤬😡

Maybe men can help? According to woke thugs, men now can get pregnant and can lactate. No?

DO NOT TO PRESSURE MOMS TO BREAST FEED. That attempt almost killed me. had contractions with a fresh C-section scar (yes u get contractions after giving birth) and it left me severely dehydrated after my kidneys shut down. Moms rather be alive for their babies.
