>>>Mr. JOE SANDERS (Executive Director, American Academy of Pediatrics): They had concerns that what's going to happen to a young mother who either chooses not to breast-feed or for some medical reason<<< Has anyone else ever noticed the use of "young mother" as opposed to mother or new mother in a lot of comments by AAP leadership on this issue? It's a disempowering phrase that hearkens back to the fifties. What is a "young mother" anyway? Is there a cutoff age ;-)? Katie, age 36 with a 12 year old, and 8 year old, and a 5 year old. Am I a young mother? An old mother?
