You like “front hole”? New for me this week.
I had to find the answer, because yeah...
From the source article/paper:
The term “breastfeeding” is used throughout this document. We acknowledge that some people may prefer other terminology, including “chestfeeding.” Pediatric health care professionals are encouraged to assess and utilize a person’s preferred language regarding infant feeding. This guidance on infant feeding may also be used in cases of use of human milk by a nonbirthing parent with the primary goal of minimizing risk of HIV transmission to the infant.
medication, the risk of the parent transmitting HIV to their baby through breastfeeding is very low, and less than 1% if the parent is undergoing antiretroviral treatment (ART).
The initial reports of covid mortality was also less than 1%, and the the entire world has, rightfully, freaked out. Yet there are parents out there fine with that?
Imagine giving your child an incurable disease, just to make yourself feel better.
