"Barriers to Breastfeeding in the United States

Even though a variety of evidence indicates that breastfeeding reduces many different health risks for mothers and children, numerous barriers to breastfeeding remain—and action is needed to overcome these barriers.
Lack of Knowledge

Most women in the United States are aware that breastfeeding is the best source of nutrition for most infants, but they seem to lack knowledge about its specific benefits and are unable to cite the risks associated with not breastfeeding.61–63 For example, a recent study of a national sample of women enrolled in WIC reported that only 36 percent of participants thought that breastfeeding would protect the baby against diarrhea.61 Another national survey found that only a quarter of the U.S. public agreed that feeding a baby with infant formula instead of breast milk increases the chances the baby will get sick.62 In addition, qualitative research with mothers has revealed that information about breastfeeding and infant formula is rarely provided by women’s obstetricians during their prenatal visits.64 Moreover, many people, including health professionals, believe that because commercially prepared formula has been enhanced in recent years, infant formula is equivalent to breast milk in terms of its health benefits;62,63 however, this belief is incorrect."

Wanted to also mention how the US and a dozen or so other countries are the only ones to attach anything sexually significant to the female breasts. This is odd, because as a once farming culture we surely would understand how every mammalian female 'breastfeeds' their young. That's what breasts are for. So why would we develop anything sexually titilating (pun intentional heh) for these 'milk distributors?'

Well, religion comes readily to mind. A big thing I often hear cited by religious people is human beings are NOT animals. So it follows if we're not animals, a female's breasts may not be for making and giving milk to our young.

Breastfeeding mothers should monitor calcium intake...

Mothers urged to watch calcium
Wed, May 25, 2016 - DAILY INTAKE: National Taiwan University Hospital physician Chiu Wei-yih said that breastfeeding mothers should take 1,000mg to 2,500mg of calcium per day

Although rare, some new mothers can develop osteoporosis or bone fractures due to loss of calcium through breastfeeding, National Taiwan University Hospital doctors said on Monday. A 38-year-old woman surnamed Chen, who at the time was 153cm tall and weighed 47kg, gave birth to her first child last year and began breastfeeding, but reported back pain and a hunch, and was measured as 10cm shorter a few months later, the hospital said. Chen was diagnosed with osteoporosis and eight spinal compression fractures.

Chiu Wei-yih, an attending physician in the Internal Medicine Department who treated Chen, said that if a baby drinks about 700ml of breast milk per day, it would remove about 200ml of calcium from the mother, while she would lose about 100ml of calcium in her urine per day. Therefore, the mother’s total loss of calcium would be more than the estimated 150ml taken in from food per day, Chiu said. He said that if mothers neglect their calcium intake, breastfeeding can cause reduced bone density, increased risk of osteoporosis and loss of height.

Tsai Keh-sung, a professor in the department, said mothers start providing calcium for the fetus from conception, while hormonal changes mean they absorb more calcium through the digestive tract. However, breastfeeding mothers will lose bone density rapidly if they do not consume sufficient calcium, he said, adding that in the past two years the hospital has treated five young mothers who had spinal compression fractures and loss of bone density due to breastfeeding.

Chiu said that although such cases are rare — about five in 200,000 — breastfeeding mothers should consume about 1,000mg to 2,500mg of calcium and 10mg to 50mg of vitamin D per day. Yang Rong-sen, an attending physician in the Department of Orthopedics, said mothers who have thinner bones, slender body types — a body mass index of less than 18 — or have more than one baby at a time face an increased risk of osteoporosis from breastfeeding. He urged pregnant women or women who have recently given birth to seek medical advice if they experience frequent back or waist pains or notice their height decreasing.

Now there's originality and humor!

It's a double edged sword for women. They like being sex objects but they don't like being sex objects.

 

[there4eyeM]

Men are easily obsessed by many things, but especially anything even remotely related to sex.
All humans enjoy being attractive. The problem for women is how the nature of men is so oppressively fixated.

Women capitalize on it then pretend they don't.

Women are human, and humans are subject to psychological problems. When we regard history, however, we see that the psychological problems of men cause vastly greater damage. Men must be liberated from their propensities to force and violence; it isn't good for anyone.

This is the modern school of thought perpetuated in public-ed and popular media. Simply turn men into women with dicks and our problems will be solved. Except it won't. Men's brains are hardwired differently and we tend to be more proactive instead of reactionary, like the female.

That can be bad but it can be good too. The computer you are using was mostly a male effort, as the government that affords you safety and the men lost dying for your freedoms. That part gets left out in the militant feminist bullshit we are supposed to swallow.

This is something that wise men have realized for ages, only becoming sufficiently common knowledge in modern times. Intelligently integrating our natural predispositions is not synonymous with emasculation, despite juvenile fears to the contrary. 'Real men', the truly great ones, are more similar to Buddha or Jesus than Genghis Khan or Napoleon.

What the fuck does that mean? Men must be liberated from their propensities to force and violence? Buddha and Jesus are beliefs, not people, you dimwit. You can't rid men of their proactive nature without lobotomizing them. Not all men are violent, we punish those that are. Lot's of women are back stabbing kunts and do much more harm than many men.

Liberation is not eradication. Life is for those capable of change, death is the destiny of those incapable.

 

[Correll]

Is this a big problem? I see women breastfeeding in public.

Drape a cloth over the baby and the boob.

The breast doesn't mind. The baby doesn't mind. Most nearby men don't mind. A breast giving milk is not sexual to normal men.

 

[Iceweasel]

We all die and your concept of liberation is childish. I'd like to liberate some women from being kunts but that isn't going to happen. See, I said some women while you are incapable of distinguishing one male from another. You are a sexist.

 

[there4eyeM]

That breasts are somehow 'obscene' in the U.S. is quite ridiculous.

 

[anotherlife]

It is not new that Americans are perverts. Boobs are objects or whatever's doesn't matter, they are good, unless you are an American, in which case boobs are a crime for you. The problem is that Americans can't easily be put in a cage to protect the world from this Americanization.

But now that the ruling militant liberal feminists have achieved to turn every woman into a man minus dick, there is no loss in turning men into women with dicks. The LGBT power has conquered America and soon the whole world. We need to reduce the world population by 99% as per UN Agenda 21.

I rated you post funny but it hits close to home. Feminists see maleness as evil and are working diligently to neuter little boys into girls and empower females. In my business almost 100% of the problems come from young females thinking they are smarter than they are.
