You know what really bothers me? The term “breastfeeding community”. Humans are mammals, meaning they have mammary glands, meaning they feed their babies milk that they produce.

IVF Might Replace Natural Conception…Although It May Increase Birth Defects
Here is a prime example of how unfocused and ridiculous scientific research can be.
