    yea, obviously if you’re at home breast-feeding, then you’re not buying as much formula for whomever is tending the baby while you’re at work.

    i always thought it was funny how people will feed their baby some synthetic formula, but as the kid grows up then they insist on cow’s milk instead of some alternative

      Formula instead of breast milk due to advertising from formula manufacturers.

      Cows milk because of advertising for US department of agriculture on behalf of dairy farmers.

            Yeah plus whoever makes lanolin, nipple shields, nursing bras and tops, burp cloths, pump parts, and then eventually therapists i assume, because I’m breast feeding rn and it’s making me a freakin crazy person. I need more sleep.

          The milk doesn’t just appear out of thin air. Lactating moms need to eat a lot more to produce it. Someone out there is profiting from that extra food.
