Top of the list would be to have virtually 100 percent of all women nursing

during the first month. The anti-immune factors in the first few weeks of

mother's milk are indeed unique to human milk, and cannot be duplicated or

provided in any formula. Ninety-eight percent first-month nursing has been

accomplished in Sweden by banning the distribution of free formula samples in

the maternity wards. Free samples should be strictly forbidden--not just in the

maternity wards, but through the mail and in government programs like Women

Infants and Children (WIC), which distributes free formula to low income

mothers.

This just makes no sense to me. Babies don't make antibodies until 3

months, iirc, so one month nursing is not enough. If a woman is *able*

to nurse for a month, then why not 12+ months?

This has been disproven. ran across a study last year in which

researchers found that women continue to develop eggs into adulthood,

although I don't recall for how long. Perhaps until menopause? I brought it

up to Singer (Fertility book author) at the WAPF conference last year,

and she later confirmed it.

Because sometimes it doesn't work that way. What little milk I had dried up

at 6 months when my period started even though I was still nursing. I have

heard others say similar things.

I can acknowledge that it doesn't always work out, for whatever reason.

I am only saying that in this age - when many of our mothers followed

the advice of doctors and advertisers and fed what they thought were

superior commercial formulas - that many women are insecure and unsure

about giving an honest try at attempting to feed their babies themselves

naturally, especially in the US. Thus, I find a minimalistic policy on

breastfeeding a strange thing coming from a group advocating long hours

in the kitchen after long hours seeking out the best sources of food

according to Price's research. I just think the foundation should

really promote those healthy diets for mothers and fathers throughout

their reproductive age and advocate breastfeeding first and foremost.

You yourself were able to provide some nourishment for your child for

much longer than the one month WAPF recommends. I just wonder how many

women become even more insecure about trying to breastfeed after reading

some of the literature on the subject in the latest WT and the website.

I find it confusing myself.

I also wanted to note that you had replied to a message quoting Suzanne

and I about guilt. I do not know to whom you were referring, but since

I can sometimes be snippy, I wanted to say if anything I said came

across as unfeeling, that it was not my intent. I hope your child is

healthy and well. That is the most important thing, after all.
