This is fucking insanity. I cannot see how this policy was written by anyone other than men who don't have kids. I take that back, I can see some clueless bougie white women thinking this is good because "everyone should breastfeed".
First off, a ton of mothers desperately want to breastfeed but can't for a number of reasons. And a lot of them sadly feel like shit about it - something totally beyond their control. So fuck them, I guess. Good job Dems.
Secondly, breastfeeding is really hard to do if you have to work a job, much less two or three. Sure, some marketing manager can close the door to her office and pump. But how many women cleaning hotel rooms you think have bosses who will allow them to take some time to do that? Of course if we lived in an actually kinda good country like the former East Germany or USSR, moms can stay home with the babies for a year or two and actually breastfeed if they and their kid is physically able. But that's SCARYYYY SOCIALISM so we can't do that. Hell, in most US states you get ZERO paid maternity leave. Had we lived in my home state when our kid was born, my partner would have been back to work 2 weeks post partum while the c-section scars were still healing.
