CDC’s ‘Chest’ Feeding Completely Ignores Infant Safety, Nutritional Needs
Editor's Note: The CDC is a totally captured agency and is nothing but a massive public menace at this point. It does not have any concern for the health of the public.
For years world health leaders have encouraged mothers to breastfeed their babies exclusively for the first six months of life, as a mother’s milk provides a range of health benefits for the infant.
Now, the CDC is endorsing “chest” feeding by transgender individuals, with the help of medications to induce lactation and supplementation with pasteurized human donor milk or formula. Well, that may be affirming to transgenders, but it completely ignores the safety and nutritional needs of the baby, says author Michael Shellenberger.
The combination of drugs biological males can use to induce lactation include aspirin, contraceptive pills, anti-nausea medication, heart medication, an antipsychotic, a sedative and an off-label lactation drug called domperidone. What doesn’t make sense is that while biological females are cautioned against these drugs while breastfeeding, no such warnings are given to transgenders.
“Neither the FDA nor the CDC appear to have assessed the safety or nutritional value of induced lactation in trans-identified males,” Shellenberger says. “Health agencies usually advise breastfeeding biological mothers to avoid many medications, including aspirin, and to avoid specific foods and drinks. So why doesn’t this same level of caution apply to “chestfeeding” males?
“The CDC’s ‘chestfeeding’ advice clearly has nothing to do with the well-being of infants. Its endorsement of an off-label hormone cocktail demonstrates, once again, that the CDC is a captured institution that issues guidance based on political interests rather than scientific evidence or health.”
