That is all.
EDIT: Boy, did this get lively. And we have a new term here: "Mom shaming."
Interesting how all these people interpret the question in the title their own way, one that has nothing to do with this simple question, nor its intent.
Is all the formula sold for babies whose mothers can't breastfeed? No. Has baby formula been around the 150,000 years that Homo sapiens has been around? No. There's a fundamental problem here.
We humans need to be free. Free from large corporations. Free from government. If babies are dependent on large corporations and "supply chains," there is something seriously wrong.
The globalists created a fake "women's rights" movement to get women out of the home into fake careers so they could control and tax them. It is at that point that so many children stopped being breastfed. For 150,000 years it was totally normal for mothers to breastfeed their babies, then suddenly not? Seriously question this.
So then a manufactured shortage of baby formula causes complete chaos.
You are being manipulated, folks.
Some mothers physically cannot breastfeed. Is the answer to that to make those mothers dependent on corporate supply chains? Isn't there a better way to handle this? Shouldn't this be something produced on a household or local level?
Lots of the discussion below sounds like a pack of Wokes. It is based on emotion, not logical thought. Playing victim is never the answer. Finding practical, local solutions not dependent on the globalists is.
Here is a quote from the comments: "It's pretty easy for a man or non-mother woman to talk about breasts." Why does this writer assume that's who is writing this post? And "Mom shaming"?
There are as many - and more - that are not given the choice. Some are not able because they work. A lot. With poor or no reliable support systems (no family near and the friends they have are also working. A lot. )
Some are unable due to hard medical reasons.
Some are unable because some infants just will not breast feed. It happens - my middle daughter would not.
To presume that it all simply comes down to a choice to breast feed or not to is extraordinarily short sighted and strongly indicates lack of life experience to make such a proclamation.
Those are all valid cases, for sure. But I wasn't speaking of all women, I know many that simply refuse it because they think it'll make their breasts sag, or that it's disgusting and "not needed in today's day and age."
The ones that literally refuse to. You took that to assume I was referring to any woman that doesn't breastfeed as not wanting to.
Your points all stand on their own, and they are certainly valid.
And yet, simply choosing not to is also a perfectly valid reason, if only because neither you nor I know why that choice was made.
Well if you can, and don't, and your baby starves because of it, idk what to tell you.
Only lack of relevant life experience leads to such a superior, black and white self assurance
