Hi Wise ones, Does anyone know if a Child Development Center (Navy) can legally refuse to provide human milk to a child? Child is 15 months old and moving from the baby class to the 1-2 year old class and mom was told: "cow's milk only" or get a prescription for "soy, lactate, or organic cow's milk". Absolutely no mother's milk. Mom was told that "due to regulations they cannot keep mom's milk in their refrigerator" (baby class had a separate fridge for milk) The CDC is also worried that another child may drink out of the baby's cup. What a messed up society that we live in: milk from a cow or soybean: OK, milk from mom: icky. Thanks in advance for any help.
