"Since 1995, no Volkswagen breastfeeding initiative has supported women's preferences and choices." In the eyes of extreme breastfeeding advocates, breastfeeding is a mandatory requirement, a moral movement, and a kind of distinguished parents. The method of bad parents, even a placebo that relieves social contradictions, is no longer one way for mothers to feed their children.
