years, is the best nutrient for babies because

18. When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability
to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as
women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that

evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through
nursing their children, even if they weren’t sure at first that they could do it.
It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form.
~ Christine Northrup

19. Breastfeeding should not be attempted by
fathers with hairy chests, since they can
make the baby sneeze and give it wind.
~ Mike Harding
