after my wife got pregnant, I spent months going through the research on pregnancy, birth, and child development a good part of it was on post partum protocols to optimize the mom’s recovery and the babies development and the single best thing to do for both mom and baby across every outcome measured is breastfeeding immune development, gut microbiome seeding, cognitive outcomes, maternal recovery, emotional regulation, antibodies transfer, healing, even long term cancer risk reduction for the mother and so much more this plot actually made me cry

not breastfeeding is actually child abuse
