If you have food allergies, you may need to ask yo' mama some questions.

    Warning: Public health officials have determined that not breast-feeding may be hazardous to your baby's health. "Just like it's risky to smoke during pregnancy, it's risky not to breast-feed after," said Suzanne Haynes, senior scientific adviser to the Office on Women's Health in the Department of Health and Human Services. "The whole notion of talking about risk is new in this field, but it's the only field of public health, except perhaps physical activity, where there is never talk about the risk." "You wouldn't take risks before your baby's born," the advertisement says. "Why start after?"

    I wasn't breast fed because of allergies. I'm not sure they called it that at the time, it was 1953 and I just couldn't keep anything down. Mama's, cow's, formula, goat, they had a hard time getting anything to stay down me. I have lots of allergies now, many didn't appear for years. I also have a congenital heart defect I didn't find out about until I was 45. But that's 1953 poor people for you.
