Or it could be a white hat operation that results in less regulation and more competition in the market. Thoughts?

If mothers are sick and truly want to breastfeed, sometimes this is the one emotional saving grace for the mother. Staff and family members can assist the mother by pumping her breasts for stimulation when mother is to sick. Every case is different and needs to be weighed based on maternal physical health. In the case of adoption, if the adoptive mother wants to breastfeed, it is possible to induce lactation but it requires a big commitment. Donor breast milk can also be used in the interim.The bottom line is: is the child’s lifetime health worth the sacrifice and is the mother’s (physical and emotional) health, present and future, worth the attempt. Each family unit has to decide what is right for them, but it should be an INFORMED choice with true facts, pros and cons.
