Academics called breastfeeding 'ethically problematic' because it endorses 'gender roles.' Their view is gaining traction. "We are concerned about breastfeeding promotion that praises breastfeeding as the ’natural’ way to feed infants."

What’s more beautiful than both of the parents being able to share the feeding duties for their offspring?

It is the ideal way to handle a newborn. One parent can be awake for an 8 hour shift, then the other parent can take over for another 8 hour shift while the first parent goes to sleep. And then there’s an 8 hour shift when both parents can be awake together. This way, no one loses any sleep, and there isn’t such a heavy burden placed on the woman. She no longer has to wake up every 2-3 hours to feed baby because her partner is able to take care of the feeding duties part of the time.

great if the production of milk does not contain a hormone mixture that is very unnatural. But go lesbian couples...
