Breast/chest feeding is SO f*** hard. If you never struggled that's great. If you struggled to make it work & you did also great. But it doesn't make you a better parent than those who didn't/couldn't or did both. The #formulashortage is a crisis and the fix is not "breast milk"
I am stunned at the level of ignorant that ppl have re: #breastfeeding apparently ppl think you can just relactate on demand? Like 25-30oz per day? Seeing breastfeeding advocates out here like let's support relactation? Are you serious?
I #breastfed both my babies til 2. But the first got #formula as well because I DID NOT MAKE ENOUGH. I have privilege. I had access to pumps and support. What I didn't have was time off from work and that 3 week post partum return wrecked HAVOC on supply
Now I take care of babies and families & SO many want to breastfeed who simply can't for a bajillion reasons that a "lactation consultant" can't fix. Like that they return to work immediately & can't afford a pump or the job won't let them pump or store milk.. ect ect x Eternity

@Jemmillion Yes. I still work in a high risk setting and I still have children who are not eligible for vaccines yet & if this helps protect against symptomatic disease & spread for them then 100%
Today, the 5 most vaccinated states (14M people) had
580 people in hospital, 12 deaths
In the 5 least vaccinated states (16M people)?
6,600 hospitalized, 104 deaths
Per capita , least vaccinated states have
10X hospitalizations and 7X deaths
So yeah, vaccines are working
@pseudohypopara@sheeraf@nytimes Not here for bullying. Just education re: my training & practice & our hx w/misrepresentation. It’s easy to make a mistake and hard to admit. Im not a writer but I married one and it’s hard. Also daughter of someone who has worked for 40y in media/reporting so I have mad respect.
@KBAndersen What you are doing here is exactly what the anti-vax conspiracy ppl do. You are doubling down when challenged by the actual experts instead of examining your bias. How can we expect ppl to follow evidence when someone who claims to do so wont listen to experts either
@sheeraf@nytimes Please respect this perspective as you need look no farther than the vitriol directed at DOs in the comments to understand our frustration. A particular blow when so many of us have been working tirelessly in a pandemic & to fight misinformation and the type of BS this guy spew
@sheeraf@jw_lowery@AOAforDOs@Emergidoc@nytimes We are not missing the point. The point is he is a scum doctor. We as DOs are telling you we don’t refer to ourselves as “osteopaths” but rather by our specialty ( pediatrician ✋🏼) same as an MD would & that the headline does us harm & contributes to misinformation about DOs
