Several women have launched a petition called "Let's stop blaming women" in the newspaper Liberation. One way to denounce the pressure on mothers at the time of the choice of infant feeding.
Many mothers wonder at the arrival of their baby if they are breastfeeding or bottle feeding. The entourage is in general advice and warnings reinforcement and studies on the subject are contradictory between benefits and harms of each practice for infant health. What solution for the young mother? Follow your instincts!
Retain the right choice of infant feeding
"Because breastfeeding or bottle must remain a personal choice", a group of ten women whose journalists Lauren Bastide and Elisabeth Bost, blogger Titiou Lecoq, the comic book artist Penelope Bagieu, met to draft a forum in which they demand the preservation of the right of every woman to decide on feeding her baby without having to face a permanent guilt.
The composition of infant formula well adapted to infants
"Do not blame the followers of the bottle or breast mock those all are facing the same problem. The judgment of others," they explain.
Remember that breastfeeding is recommended, not mandatory until the first six months of the infant's life by the World Health Organization (WHO). And infant formulas are nowadays have a composition perfectly adapted to newborns.
Lactation inadequate studies
And research on breastfeeding do not help. While some studies suggest that breastfeeding reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, or that breastfed babies have an IQ higher than those bottle-fed, the women behind the petition recall that " situation of mothers is not the same in all countries. "
Indeed, it is not possible to equate a woman giving birth in a poor country with an unhealthy environment, and a woman in a developed country with easy access not only to drinking water but to medical care general.
