...the Welfare moms will not be able to work ‘cause the babes will need breast milk every two hours.

Crack milk will be a change for the baby from Seagram's Ginger Ale in the nursing bottle.

She is not the first lady...she is the FIRST BUSYBODY!!! She is not an expert in any of this stuff...Laura Bush had credibility as an experienced Librarian encouraging children to read, but The First BusyBody has no training in nutrition, dietetics, or early childhood health...as a non-expert unelected citizen, who is she to be foisting her opinion on us thru any legislation or IRS ruling?!?!?!

As an aside, Not to pick on her children, but to point out in her own parenting and parental food choices, her children are not that thin and neither is she.

“I’m so tired of these jerks making my daughter feel like a bad mother..”

I’ve been there. For several different reasons (including being on medication), I couldn’t breast feed and the nursing staff at the hospital were HORRIBLE! Breast feeding is being pushed by the medical society and our culture as always being the best choice. It isn’t in all cases. For one thing, if you bottle feed, the formula has everything that the baby needs. You need to eat something like 2,500 calories a day. Very few women have that type of appetite after birth. Plus, I liked the fact that my husband and I were both able to feed the baby (especially when I was recovering from birth). However, I have known some women who breast fed but returned to work after four weeks for 10-12 hour days (leaving their infant in the hands of a paid nanny). They were the same women who said they were the best Moms in the world because of this one action. Tell your daughter that being a good Mom isn’t about one specific event like breast feeding. It is doing all the other good Mom stuff.
