You may be hearing the argument that before the rise of modern commercial infant formula, babies all ate breastmilk and everything was great. As a historian of infant feeding, let me tell you why that’s not true.

Media folks, you should be seeking out scholars of color who are experts in the history of infant feeding and broader histories of race, gender, reproduction. Experts like @sejr_historian @ProfJLMorgan @DrSashaTurner @jmjafrx, Marisa Fuentes...

Their expertise is CRITICAL in our present moment.
