Subject: breastfeeding vs artificial feeding with learning 'disabilities'

Funny how nobody in social services seems to have thought of how dangerous
it might be for a mother who doesn't read well, or has difficulty
understanding aseptic technique, or exact measuring, to try to keep a baby
nourished on artificial breastmilk substitutes served by bottle.   Never
mind the shocking costs to such a mother (in my prejudiced view I am
assuming that fewer women with learning disabilities will be among the Very
Affluent).
To my knowledge, dyslexia or low IQ scores in a woman have never prevented
her breasts from producing top-quality fresh, hygienic, correctly tempered
baby food, in exactly the amount required by the child, served in a comfy
and aesthetic setting.  Supporting a mother to breastfeed if you are
concerned about her intellectual capacity is (I can't resist!!) A
NO-BRAINER.  It's the *only* safe option.
