Not all mothers bare milk. Some mothers and/or babies can't nurse for health reasons. Some babies are taken from their mothers for a variety of reasons. Working mothers only get 4-12 weeks paid time off depending on insurance coverage, IF they've been with their company more than 1 year. Only companies with more than 100 employees are mandated to have nursing rooms to pump.
My son was born 10 lbs 8 oz and a very hungry boy. By two weeks old he would have starved if I didn't supplement.
ImBillCurtis, your misogyny is amazing. I bet women who don't spread their legs for a nice guy like you are all bitches, too.
Why can and should work? Because WWII put American women into the workforce and it was a Pandora's box. Blame disparity of the 1%, elite/not-elite, to maintain a quality of life ever since.
Alternatives to soy, yep, agree. There are some formulas that are not soy-based, I happened to like the Costco brand back then. Unfortunately, our society does not know how to make their own formula from powdered milk anymore, becoming a lost skill with each generation. (If the baby can tolerate it. Homemade does not have the vitamin fortification that produced versions have.)
Pump in the bathroom. It is not a sanitary location. I challenge you to have a fragile immune system and eat your meals in an aerosoled feces environment everyday.
Don't make employers accommodate women. Pump at home. Uhmm, no, if you don't extricate the milk every three to four hours you will not only lose the ability to produce milk, you could also get infections, and it's exceptionally uncomfortable and painful. It's true there are women who abuse it. There are many who don't. When I was pumping, I stayed at work an extra hour everyday to compensate for lost time over four 20-minute pump sessions (did one on lunch). = Less time at home with baby.
Use the tiddies, morons.
