The mother of two had been struggling to breastfeed her 1-month-old daughter ever since she was born, when the hospital gave the baby formula first without consulting her on her desire to breastfeed.
Low-income families buy the majority of formula in the U.S., and face a particular struggle: Experts fear small neighborhood grocery stores that serve these vulnerable populations are not replenishing as much as larger retail stores, leaving some of these families without the resources or means to hunt for formula.
In the 1950s, racially targeted commercials falsely advertised formula as a superior source of nutrition for infants. And studies continue to show that the babies of Black mothers are more likely to be introduced to formula in the hospital than the babies of white mothers, which happened to Isidoro after her emergency cesarean section.
Breastfeeding practices are often influenced by previous generations, with some studies suggesting better outcomes for mothers who were breastfed when they were babies. One time, they drove half an hour to a store where workers told them they had the type she needed, but it was gone when they got there. Her husband goes out every night to search pharmacies around midnight.
The history of Black women slavery is actually a reason?
I am not sure about this. When a mom goes shopping, it is about her revenue, not about her skin colour!
What does race & baby 🍼 formula have in common Answer: NOTHING! Shame on u it’s not a race issue
My ass!!!! Stupid headline. Everyone has the same problem hat rack!!!
3/ So, there may be connection, but not in the way presented, is how I see it. Society can continue to fund the BW, convince her that she is strong, independent, needs no BM. The price payed is struggle life. And y’all white men shouldn’t celebrate, your women are learning fast.
2/ In a regular home with mom & dad, mom may not need to rush back to work, hence breastfeeding is a viable option. If on the other hand as most black families are held by black women (strong and need no man) she better be ready to head back to work sooner, else all falls apart.
1/ What I believe is closer to the truth is that because the Larger society have gone out of its way to destroy the black family by offering black women all kids of incentives to not form a family with the black man, these programmed, strong, independent women suffer in silence.
“The mother of two had been struggling to breastfeed her 1-month-old daughter ever since she was born, when the hospital gave the baby formula first without consulting her on her desire to breastfeed.” Please CP24 needs to explain this paragraph a little better. I’m confused.
Here we go with more racial bs. Media loves to divide people.
Democrats caused this shortage. They are the reason all babies are suffering as 4 warehouses at US border are stockpiled with formula
Get a breast pump and put it in bottles and feed your baby you don’t need formula my 3 months old daughter didn’t take her mom breast when she was born we had to use a pump and get the milk for the first month and now she’s a breast baby.. do what you have to
The media just can’t help themselves. No one trusts them, takes them seriously but yet they keep doubling down. It’s quite the display of unabashed hubris.
No it doesn't. We can all walk into a Walmart equally.
More racial division by the media. Clown ass journalism at its finest
Get out of here with your divisive tactics
Racial disparities
its all about them now a days Ridiculously over spoiled
That’s not baby it’s JustinTrudeau
Well when you have 8 kids with 5 different fathers, of course there will be feeding issues.
So because she's black she can't provide breastmilk? 😂
Let no tragedy go to waste when spewing your nonsense cp24
Canada produces baby formula, but all of it goes to China
Recalls when Nestle went into Africa and persuaded the mother's to use baby formula. The problem? Lack of clean water.
Enough of this
Oh honestly...is race sn issue over everything? What about gas prices?
Poor people. You don’t need the race card. Just poor people.
People who did not read the article are mad. Y’all don’t even attempt to be educated.
The left liberals keeps people divided with race …anything socially has to be tied to race ….🤔…. If racial economy so bad and disastrous why not give the black families reparations for enslaving their ancestors. Instead of using them as a political campaign
Media publishing these stories for views. Race baiting. Its disgusting.
Shortage of baby formula now link to racism. Nonsense.
'News' would be a thing you discover that doesn't... Narratives Media Division Fear Hate politics
Toronto’s “1 source for news” just people copy & pasting other news outlets 😂 that’s how you know it’s a fake talking point. Literal propaganda.
If there is a shortage of formula. It means there is NONE for everyone. Race has nothing to do with this situation. PERIOD.
Why when ever there is a shortage of things alway a race thing. Funny I know all kinds of people that can’t get it so this is just how people want to see it
What a stupid headline.
' Black women have historically faced obstacles to breastfeeding, including a lack of lactation support in the hospital, more pressure to formula feed and cultural roadblocks.' Cultural road blocks to breast feed? Explain please.
Breastfeeding b!th3s!
just like how women have always been the primary victims of war, black women have always been the primary victim of...baby.. formula... shortages......
LOL. 🤡 network.
I bet a white liberal woman wrote this headline
You mean highlights racial disparities.
