Martha: what an interesting story about the mother who wnated to bf and was
prevented from doing so by the child protective services.
I am horrified, but not surprised, that this mother is being prevented from
bf. We already *know* that nothing is certain about the risk of HIV
transmission in breast milk. Some studies show a surprisingly low incidence
of supposed risk.
This is Statism at its most invasive.
I hope other countries do not copy. But I expect they will.
