celeb news Bette Midler blasted for breastfeeding comment

Baby formula contains milk powder and in most cases, lactose, that gets infants hooked on dairy, setting them up for a life of health complications, is generally terrible & even has a history of being toxic & deadly.

 

There should be better & unbiased dietary education for parents who are struggling, as there are countless plant based alternatives that haven’t been impacted. Peas, beans, lentils & soy yoghurt make great options as a baby’s first foods and are easy to mash & blend.

Breast milk contains lactose... Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose...

Yikes, stick to commenting on pop girls. You do realize we literally evolved to drink breast milk, which is MILK aka lactase, dairy? And millions of people eat dairy their whole lives with zero issues? This post is giving radical ignorant vegan teas. I pray your own children don’t grow up malnourished.

Unhinged lunatics trying to tell women not to feed their children properly. Throw away the key.

I said lactase when I meant lactose, so my bad, it’s an easy key slip - and I was obviously referring to cow milk, not human. 

 

Most people are lactose intolerant to varying degrees - and no, we didn’t evolve to drink another species’ milk. We are the only animal that does this. Health issues attributed to cow milk and it’s byproducts are well documented. 

 

We can support parents who are reliant on formula & currently can’t access it, by educating them on healthier alternatives. There’s nothing radical or ignorant about that statement. 

 

lol @ “get her”, nothing was got but misinformation.

I mean, did she lie? Obviously she didn't mean people who are unable to breastfeed. If I say "people should take the bike more instead of taking cars", do I need to specify that I don't mean people who need to use a wheelchair?

You said nothing wrong, don't pay attention to them they like to gang up on folks to regain a sense of power for reasons that we all can guess

This lmao. I'm sick and tired of this trend where people have to think of/take into account every single marginal/minority case before they get to open their mouth, I mean you can't even say 'women give birth' anymore like??? Bette said nothing wrong and gave the kind of response you would get from MOST PEOPLE in the real world

Not me, and the reason for that is an evolutionary adaptation. All my grandparents ate cheese and milk daily and lived till their 90s.

Share with everyone what you thought infant mortality rates were before the invention of baby formula - quickly.

Since formula was invented literally many decades or even centuries ago, can you explain what you think you are accomplishing by comparing infant mortality rates from today with those of like 1900 - given that they have decreased for a multitude of reasons since then?

 

I can however share with everyone that breastfeeding is associated with a lower rate of morbidity for both the baby and the mother

Right?  Gays should probably mind their own business when it comes to how mothers nourish their babies.

Except we literally did. Look up lactase persistence which evolved in the Neolithic when humans began managing cattle, sheep and goat. We literally evolved to be able to digest lactose into adulthood due to agriculture changing our diets   
 

It is best to breastfeed a baby but this has nothing to do with consuming other animals milk.

One of the main reasons being the invention of baby formula due to the prominence of malnutrition leading to death.

I'm sorry but this is like frightening levels of illiteracy. No serious person is attacking breastfeeding. 

Of course babies who are breast-fed have high chances of survival - they have a guaranteed food source.

It's not breastfeeding vs formula; it's not eating vs having formula, which is the issue you and Bette are ignoring.

 

The comparison to cars makes no sense. You're ironically sounding just like the people you mock because you sound like naturalists going: "Oh, there's a shortage on minerals to make certain medications? Well just drink juices and eat vegetables to cure your cancer! We don't need medications! We've been living without them for centuries!" 

 

Infant mortality used to be as high as it was because not every mother can breastfeed - a substantial amount. The debate of breastfeeding vs formula isn't some ethical one; 97% of mothers breastfeed at the start then that number drops to the low 70s range in the first year because of women struggling to continue producing milk.

 

The invention of baby formula was a medical intervention. Chiming into a medical crisis with ~woo natural so much inherently better woo~ babble like Bette has done, and which you've decided to defend, is unserious. No one is criticizing her for being ~offensive~; they're criticizing an out-of-touch rich person for being dumb.
