What do you think of women using the anti-lactation drug?
A drug developed for mothers with HIV is being prescribed for women who don’t want to breastfeed/want to keep their figures and/or who want to return to work quickly and not have to deal with engorgement.

What do you think about the use of this?
Would you use it?
People are calling for it to be available to all pregnant women via the NHS. Do you think this cause a decrease in breastfeeding? The drug can be taken whilst pregnant, meaning the mother would never have the opportunity to even try to breastfeed.
Milk Maid – I hated that statement too, so many impressionable people will read that and now think formula is pretty much equal to breastmilk.
I think it is Absolutely ludicrous! I believe every baby deserves human milk! This statement from the article is particularly disturbing:
‘There is not enough difference between breast milk and infant formula to make a fuss about it.’
The only similarity between breast milk and infant formula is that they can sustain fledging human life. The similarities end there!
