Lactnetters,

This is the same website that has an article on reducing the number of
twin pregnancies from IVF, and the illustration is a pair of twins being
bottlefed.

This is also the same website that has an article about how high levels
of caffeine in a pregnant woman's diet could lead to epilepsy, due to
reduced oxygen supply during labour; and the illustration is of some
poor woman being "delivered" in lithotomy position with her legs in
stirrups - a position known to reduce oxygenation of the placenta, due
to the compression of all the major blood vessels leading to the uterus.
Sorry, nothing to do with breastfeeding, but I had to mention it :-(

I thought the BBC were supposed to be impartial? This website seems to
present  artificial feeding and high intervention childbirth as the
norm. I suppose, technically, it is the norm, but why no questioning of
the status quo?
