Opinion

  1. Woomera Woomera Australia says:

    "Expert Dr Jennifer James"?

    Good grief how many more stupid people want to invade a woman's home, women have been looking after their babies for 1000's of years and right or wrong it is up to THEM to do it how they think best.

    Jennifer go find a new job, I suggest a family.      

    • Peter Johnson Peter Johnson Australia says:

      Yes indeed Woomera - women have been looking after babies for thousands of years WITHOUT baby formula being promoted to them as being equivalent or better than breast milk. I hardly think Jennifer James is invading anyone's home. She is merely pointing out the problems with baby formula being substituted too readily for breast milk and suggesting that it be restricted so that a health care professional be consulted if a woman IS having problems breast feeding. This works well in other countries I have lived in.

    • Peter Johnson Peter Johnson Australia says:

      How do you know Jennifer James does not have a family?

    • Peter Johnson Peter Johnson Australia says:

      Should freedom also include the access to powerful and potentially dangerous medications, for example the inappropriate and uninformed use of steroids by untrained people? Of antibiotics? Is having certain substances restricted to be used by trained persons a dictatorship? Should children have the freedom to carry firearms? This discussion has nothing to do with freedom.

      And as to how you arrive at the conclusion that she is childless and a dragon-lady is astounding. And of course it's a crime to be childless.
