Holding the line is important. Thanks for reminding us that we don’t conduct live medical experiments on the dyad to gratify the feelings of men.

The mother baby dyad is generally under discussed , explained , promoted to mums to prevent them feeling guilt or to avoid a complaint of being accused of pressured to breast feed . That’s already unhelpful for mum and baby and a lack of truthful / helpful

Information is shared .

As you say the foundling museum is full of letters and momentos mothers left their babies there with : heartbreaking .

Why this was ever given any airtime at all was typical of the media to distract from reality and introduce harm . babies needs are never considered or prioritised and here it is happening again . Publicly now .

On the disturbing topic of lactiphilia I wonder if the sex of the baby influences the AGP addiction & would we know / want to know. How could a baby be protected from this situation as well . More Worries .

Absolutely well said!! I couldn’t breastfeed my baby and was scorned by the midwife for using formula, but of course men’s drug induced bodily fluids are just fine. 🤬

I am so sorry to hear that you were scorned by a midwife for how you were feeding your baby. This is really unacceptable behavior. I don't know what your situation was, but I would be asking that midwife if her lack of breastfeeding support skills were a factor in you being unable to breastfeed your baby.

Dear Lucy,

Thank you for an inspiring article about such a neglected, important subject. I thank God for

people such as yourself, who tell the truth about matters that count. This is one of them.

When I had my first child in 1963, I was one of two women out of ten new

mothers to decide to breastfeed. I had never considered anything other than breast feeding.

My mother, though we lived in poverty, raised us to understand how vital this was, that

it was a gift that only we, as mothers, could give to our babies.

I was so thankful that I was able to do this, as my child had physical issues.

becoming ill at two months of age. His pediatrician recommended continued breast feeding

as long as possible, which I was able to do until he was a year old. I even had pressure along

the way to stop before this. I realize now that the social pressure was due to the push

from baby formula manufacturers who were engaging in a war against all that was natural for profit.

Now, I look around, and I am in awe of the brave mothers of today ignoring the

insanity that we live in, who go forward in doing what is best for their child and for the child's future.

With no longer any help from once trusted sources such as La Leche, who have gone "woke" and from

medical professionals pandering to the diabolical nonsense of "chest feeding." It is so sickening to

think of "the least of these" who being subjected to this potentially harmful cocktail of who knows what. And for what? To feed the fantasy of sick people one more way. May we all wake up soon, and may God have mercy on us all.

Love, Indio

What a wonderful mother you had Indio; she gave you and her grandchildren the greatest gift she had. The transgender lobby is little more than a men's rights movement in drag and historians of the future will wonder at the idiocy of what so many are pandering to now. La Leche League Leaders are resigning rather than following the compelled speech edicts of the "inclusivity" policy, which obligates them to support "everyone" wanting to breastfeed, including those who lack any capacity to do so, which includes men.

Dear Lucy,

You made such strong arguments. My shock when reading your articles comes from the fact that this appalling disruption of mothers and babies’ rights are not discussed in my country —not yet at least. And I am saddened to think in your corner of the world (Ontario) these scenarios are being promoted as conceivable, despite the rampant disruption they cost to baby/mother natural habitat. As if male’s needs (and white males at that) were not systematically placed first in our societies.

What else is a woman supposed to give up next? What else is left?

This paragraph is worth repeating:

“No man can hope to match the incredible adaptability of a woman's body to give her baby just what that baby needs, when they need it. Male bodied people are not designed to nurture babies to thrive using the resources their bodies can provide”

Thank you for your work!!
