This does state that Jewish law does not forbid vaccines by injection, even if it contains pig juice.

There were generations where western women were convinced that breastfeeding was disgusting or low class. My Grandmother fed her 12 a homemade concoction involving boiling cows milk and adding vitamins, while my good friend’s Grandmother fed her babies goat milk with nothing done to it, all the kids involved survived.…
Wouldn’t it be beautiful if legislators actually paid attention to non-lobbyist generated research?
Worldwide, breastfeeding is promoted as ideal because formula is risky in developing countries. Water may not be clean. Bottles may not be sanitized. Formula may have plaster in it. People sometimes water it down. And it is a complete meal for your kid in a handy package that they can benefit from well into…
It definitely takes me way less time to bf when I telecommute than it does to pump at work. At home, the caretaker brings him up to where I'm working, I nurse him for 20 min, he usually falls asleep and I pass him back. At work, I have to treck to the mother's room, assemble the pump, pump for 30 min (less efficient…
But what, exactly, are nursing parents supposed to do with this research. . . ?
I am a member of a generation where baby formula was a savior of women’s ability to be considered even tacitly equal in the workplace. I think I missed the mass epidemic of sickly Gen X’ers out there dragging down the public health and healthcare actuarial tables.
If you’re saying that you work in a large office with a sound-proofed, segregated nursery and moms pop down every 2 hours or when the nursery staff page her, ugh, I guess? [Still highly impractical for a baby who doesn’t feed on a strict schedule, and mom has to have meetings impacted by deviations from that schedule.…
Yeah, this is what I thought of too; expressing milk while at work to keep your supply up, or having your partner do one feed a day with expressed milk so you can get 4 hours sleep in a row, is worth the minor loss in the bestest form of breastmilk, especially if it allows you to keep breastfeeding for longer overall,…
Wouldn’t it be amazing if this information signaled to policy leaders and decision makers that women need sufficient time off from work to have their infants reap the greatest benefits of breastfeeding?
HAHAHA. Yeah. Right. Instead it will only cause moms to feel guilty and for shitty people to shame moms for pumping…
Is the answer nothing? I hope the answer is nothing. Because the cult of breastfeeding is a bit overwrought. Whole eons of human history fed children by breastfeeding. Many cultures still do. Those kids turn out alright, but the mothers are largely conscripted to childfeeding if they couldn’t find a wet nurse. A huge…
Interesting, but let’s not make the perfect the enemy of the good. If your baby is growing and your sanity is intact, you’re doing it right.
As a former breastfeeding mom who rarely pumped or used bottles, I think that it’s important to include with this story that pumping moms often do a combination of feeding from the breast and feeding expressed milk from bottles so that they can keep their milk supply going. Pumping keeps the milk flowing, which is…
No they’re just finally being honest with themselves.
No, they are clearly mocking the commenters (including me) who have criticized them in the past for being a “supposedly feminist website” ignoring issues of sexism and misogyny during the 2016 campaign. (and I’m sure the 2020 campaign if a woman is the nominee).
It’s sad for El Paso, especially, because it has a fairly liberal bend, and Trump is probably just being a vindictive fuckhead.
The reason is “Because he’s a skinflint cheapskate con man grifter, as he has been his entire life.” But the odds are real good he’s found a way to actually lose money somehow by skipping on his bills.
Fucking same. As soon as I got to “One of the major underlying issues is that most of these cities did not sign contracts with the campaign but instead believed the goodwill they extended...” I tuned out of the rest.
Fuck Trump with a rusty pitchfork, but at the same time: I have precisely zero sympathy for anyone dumb enough to enter a good faith agreement with Donald fucking Trump with money involved. Holy shit, the man has a track record decades long of going back on signed contracts, and his tenure as president has been marked…
