Outrageous Anti-Breastfeeding Propoganda



I came across this video today and was taken aback.  I just want to say: Seriously?  Do you honestly believe the trash you are spewing?

Sure there is archeological evidence of babies getting a substitute to mother's milk.  What you failed to mention this was only if the mother truly had no milk, died, etc.  Usually another mother nursed that baby.  Choke on that one. 

God would not have created our breasts to leak milk after birth if we were not to feed it to our children.  Infact the Bible has these quotes:

 But Hannah did not go up; for she said unto her husband, So soon as the child shall be weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and abide there for ever. And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth good in thy eyes; tarry until though has weaned him; only may the Lord fulfill his word.

So the woman remained behind, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.

—Samuel I, I, 22-23

From the God of thy father, who will help thee; and from the Almighty, who will bless thee, with blessings of heaven above, with blessings of the breasts, and of the womb;


—Genesis. XLIX, 25-26 

Yea, thou art he that took me from the womb; thou hast been my trust when I hung on my mother’s breasts.


—Psalm XXII, 10-11
There are many, many quotes from the Bible discussing breastfeeding.  Not one of them said it was a sin to breastfeed. 

This  comment that a woman said to Jesus in particular leaves no doubt in my mind that Mary breastfed Jesus. 

Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked! (Luke 11:27)

There is also speculation that Jesus was not weaned until Mary presented him at the temple at 4 years old.
