When I come across information that relates to new mothers and makes me go, What were they thinking?, I will share it with you.

The first entry is a Washington Post article that was published August 30th. The article shows how the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has scaled back powerful breastfeeding information in ads because they are catering to the strong infant formula lobby.

I have nothing against using formula, but not giving mothers the health information they deserve should be far from the goals of HHS. What were they thinking?
