Anyone else seen this article? I can't believe a reputable publication (which dh assures me Live Science is )would print such garbage.

Very poor, badly researched, emotive and nasty.

Blaming bf for aspergers and ADHD is bizarre.

Please avoid temptation to click on the link - take tiktok's word for it - it's shite. Don't give the writer the satisfaction of getting loads of hits.

At least there are some straight-talking replies on the comments page. Dh did himself a disservice by sending me the link - it's put me in a grumpy mood for the weekend.

Some men are just so envious of our ability to breastfeed.

You're right there is a lot of tosh in that article, but also a lot of tosh in those comments... like from becky

"A bit of healthy education and good old fashioned hard work are typically all that anyone needs to be successful breastfeeding."

Ah, if only life was so simple.

That man has ishoos. As one comment to the 'article' says, it's not an article.
