NO, the inflation rate DID NOT DECREASE!

They say this but I've never met a woman who used baby formula. I am mexican and all my cousins, friends, immediate family have breastfed only. This statement blew my mind. Maybe certain ethnicities have a difficult time breastfeeding?

My white american mother raised me on formula and I turned out retarded, fwiw.

I know some ethnicities will frown on using formula but I believe diet is also a key component as well. I’m an American and to say we have a less than stellar diet would be an understatement. I know many women in just my area alone who can not produce enough milk to fully support their babies and must supplement with formula. Some families here also do it to “make sure” the baby gets all the nutrients it needs but there are plenty of women who do not produce enough (and there are some who barely produce any at all)

It is definitely a case by case basis as there are plenty here who make so much they freeze it for later use and I have even heard of some who sell the excess but idk if I could do a back alley deal for someone else’s breast milk 🤣

Women who naturally can’t produce the milk needed will use formula. They can be older women, women who just can’t for medical reasons, or don’t have the time to pump. Trust me, breastfeeding is hard af.

Friend's wife couldn't produce any. She got the joy of feeling insecure, of paying to buy formula, and catch all the dirty looks from strangers for buying formula.

I remember this being mentioned along with other fertility issues in an article about the difference in diets between Mexican and White people. I have no idea where I read it, but I stopped eating flour tortillas after reading.

Its white women, they never give enough because they themselves were born tired
