re: OT moms, why the reduction in titty feeding?

Huey-can you offer any reliable sources for that information. It seems rather antiquated and certainly doesn't mesh with the CDC, WHO, or AMA stance.

For the lack of long-term benefits? That comes from this study discussed in the wbur.org article and is among the more recent studies conducted on breastfeeding.

Here's more on the lack of long-term benefits:
Word Health Organization: No Long Term Benefits to Breastfeeding

(referencing this WHO study from 2013 which is a meta analysis of virtually all studies on the long-term effects of breastfeeding: https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/79198/1/9789241505307_eng.pdf)

One study vs thousands that say otherwise...

You seem well-versed on the subject..Show me the thousands of studies as recent as 2013/2014 that contradict the findings of the World Health Organization report or the Colen study.

I used to be a rabid breastfeeding Nazi until the new research started coming in. Lactivists have grossly skewed peoples' perspectives on the matter over the last decade or so. I know women that pour breastmilk that was kept in the freezer for years into their childrens' pinkeye instead of bringing them to the doctor, feed them breastmilk for a flu, dump it on a baby's yeast rash instead of using Clotrimazole, and other really bonkers things. It's just milk, but some people have made it into such a sacred cow that God forbid anyone question whether their magic milk is really a total cure for all childhood ailments.
