Yes....if the mom is a druggy
So don't be a druggy, most mothers refuse to drink alcohol till their baby stops breastfeeding, least you could do is not shoot up all the time. They say 'forever chemicals' are the problem....then we're all fucked regardless!
...Did you read the article? They're talking about chemicals that have polluted the environment, not chemicals from booze and narcotics. They're talking about chemicals usually linked to industrial areas but they're now being detected in everyday things. Some might even be in drinking water so people going "oh I'll just give my baby formula instead" isn't a solution. And at this point there is so little information about the long-term effects of these chemicals on infants, while knowing the significant long term health benefits breast milk is to infants, that even contaminant-free formula might still be worse for a baby.
Yeah I said the 'forever chemicals' such as industrial byproducts, that's also why I said
Forget just breastfeeding or long term effects to kids, if that shit is so pervasive in the water table then why the fuck are we focused on this part!? Why are we going 'you might not want to breastfeed' not starting a reclamation of a contaminated area as it sounds like they fucked up and turned perfectly good water into the River Ganges
Because baby formula makes bank, and they want more dosh.
