Not surprised. Trump doesn't believe in science. It gets in the way of making (that somehow seems like the wrong word) money.

“The resolution as originally drafted placed unnecessary hurdles for mothers seeking to provide nutrition to their children,” an H.H.S. spokesman said in an email. “We recognize not all women are able to breast-feed for a variety of reasons. These women should have the choice and access to alternatives for the health of their babies, and not be stigmatized for the ways in which they are able to do so.” F'ng hypocrites!! Our government is so concerned about women! BS! States are passing ridiculous provisions for abortion clinics restricting access to these services and now the government is so concerned for women? Mr. Orange Hair is after Roe v Wade and his H.H.S. is so concerned for the "hurdles" for US women? Maybe all breast feeding mothers should march on D.C. and walk down Pennsylvania Avenue while breast feeding!

This issue has pushed some of my more conservative cousins off the Donald bandwagon. Maybe the tide is turning.

Thank goodness Russia had the guts to stand up to the blatant US bully tactics. Shame shame shame on the US for bullying the very countries where the breast milk vs. formula question can be truly life or death. This isn't just about money & politics. Any policy that does not encourage women to feed their babies their own milk is going to result in babies dying. Of course the orange buffoon only cares about "babies" until they are born.

While the death rate for artificially fed infants is well known to be much higher in developing nations, even here in the US breastfed babies have a slightly higher survival rate. Even a percent or 2 matters if it's your baby.

I've worked with nursing moms & babies for 15 years & I am beyond disgusted by what our country has become.

just evil Accepting breast milk is superior, think about the sanitation issues for people with little access to water and the cost.

I wish instead of "Americans" or "the US" they would word these things as representatives of trump

Yup makes no sense at all. Breast milk is best - as long as the Mom is able and willing.

This is just appalling.
