Sorry to be a party pooper, but what would you call it when babies who are
to be breastfed are given Vitamin K injection while artificially fed babies
don't have to (Netherlands, at least a few years back)

Or when AAP says they will push for a recommendation that BF babies receive
Vitamin D supplement, but not artificially fed ones?

Or when mothers of fully BF babies are pushed especially to start
iron-fortified cereals, despite our knowledge that it is the artificially
fed ones who lose more blood through microscopic bleeds in the gut?

Maybe they aren't trying to change breastmilk, but they're doing a great job
of making it look sub-standard, as though calf food were the standard for
homo sapiens.
