I defend breastfeading
You're defending something that's become a luxury for the privileged while leaving working mothers behind. This whole "breast is best" movement has turned into another way to shame women who can't afford to stay home for months pumping milk.Look, I appreciate the idealism, but you're advocating for something that sounds beautiful in theory while ignoring the brutal reality on the ground. Only 13% of private sector women actually get paid maternity leave [1]. The vast majority are choosing between feeding their babies and feeding their families. This "breast is best" crusade has become another form of privilege policing. You're essentially telling a minimum-wage mother working two jobs that she should pump milk in a bathroom stall between shifts, while wealthy mothers with nannies and lactation consultants get to follow the "natural" path. When 25% of women are forced back to work within two weeks of giving birth [1], your breastfeeding advocacy becomes a luxury they literally cannot afford. The real problem isn't that mothers aren't committed enough to breastfeeding - it's that we've created a system where economic survival trumps everything else. You want to defend breastfeeding? Start by defending the conditions that make it possible, not shaming women who are just trying to survive in a country that treats motherhood like a personal choice rather than a societal investment.
