45 years ago in Medical School we were taught principle such as the Hippocratic Oath, primum non nocere, the Nuremberg Code, in short the primacy of the doctor-patient relationship.
Public Health Physicians in modern times are anathema to the old principles.
They also rarely work in clinical medicine and are certainly not "experts" in anything other than making orders and getting the ear of the media.
Regarding babies and supplementing formula…I totally agree I was horrified when my daughter told me of the rule in Victoria (not sure if it is in other states?) that if a baby loses more than 10% of their weight when the colostrum comes in they have to be given formula as well🤷♀️. One of these stupid rules that they make!! So I quickly looked at previous pictures of my daughter when she was on colostrum waiting for my milk to come in and she looked very scrawny. They naturally lose weight during that time. I’m sure the formula upset my Grandsons digestion.
Yes I think the problem with blanket policies like this that skew risk-averse is that a lot of babies that don't need formula will be receiving it so as to capture the few that probably do need it, without any discussion of how that might actually be detrimental to the ones that didn't need it.
Here's some SS links to interesting and plausibly insightful discussion on the overstep of feminism, its effect on society, and the programming we've soaked up.
Bettina Arndt has called out so-called feminism that has gone toxic, real reminists were never anti-man.
Typical example, blindness to male victims of physical and emotional abuse by women, the police procedures that demand that everything claimed by a woman is true, the dispatch of the innocent until proved guilty principle, etc..
Everything goes toxic when it is recruited by the left especially peace, see the proliferation of communist front "peace groups" after 1917.
Yes I think we tried to bring that out in our discussion, that feminism going too far has been detrimental to everyone - the women it was supposed to advance, men and children.
It is not what puritans claim: a necessary evil, a throwback to ignorant instinct, a distraction from higher pursuits. It is not what passionless pornography suggests: a performance, a conquest, a transaction.
“Sex happens between the ears” — Seka
Run Like Hell, Pink Floyd, The Wall
It is not what beyond feminists and military psychologists insinuate: a sublimation of violence, a channeling of aggression, a masculine dominance ritual.
“You do not know what you are missing by your microscopic examination of sexual activity to the exclusion of aspects which are fuel that ignites it. Intellectual, imaginative, romantic, emotional. This is what gives sex its surprising textures, its subtle transformations, its aphrodisiac elements. You are shrinking your world of sensations. You are withering it, starving it, draining its blood.” — Anaïs Nin
Sex is grounding. It is the return to the body. It is the acknowledgment that we are not disembodied minds, not machines, not symbols or statistics or expendable units. We are flesh. We are warmth. We are skin and sweat and breath and heartbeat.
Sex is vulnerability. It is the willingness to be seen, to be touched, to be known. It is the shedding of armor, the dropping of masks, the honesty of desire.
Sex is connection. It is the meshing of souls, the sharing of pleasure, the recognition of another’s humanity and the offering of your own.
Sex is resistance. In a world that demands you become, un-empathetic, a user, a killer, that trains you to dehumanize, that programs you to sever yourself from empathy — sex is the defiant act of remaining human.

God Damn 'Chest Feeders' are at it again! LOL! 'Chest feeders' - SURELY, a 'Male' influenced Dialogue WOKE Reference! Otherwise, if it IS a Female Psych reference - 'They', She, referenced as 'Her' pronoun = HAS 'Issues'!
As a 'Tradie', read(Yes, some of us are 'Ept' - LOL) YEARS ago, about the SureFire 'Natural' Bonding of Babies born Via the Vaginal canal 'trauma' (Including PROPER kick starting of Immune systems via bacteria Et al during THE 'Process'), along with 'Mother's' Breast milk natural proteins/REQUIRED Sat Fats AND Further Bonding!= S-26 - Nestle Ya Corporate Goons - RUN!!
Next; HOW, is some poor defenceless NewBe Infant, suppose to survive, when via DAY ONE, THE 'CHEMICAL' Industry, along with the MediKill Support [Sic./Sick.] System, starts Warp Factor 6 corrupting a NON formed immune system, into 'Life Long' Anaphylaxis 'Client' dependency[Apologies! That's Negated via 'Side effects' dialogue referencing! HOORAH!]?? For those expecting, that the 'Normality of Life' is somehow suppose to traverse normal development, when CONtinuousLie(Continuously) being 'Poisoned' - IS, beyond me! IF, somehow, the MediKill 'Professionals' CANNOT grasp basic 'Delivery Systems', and 'Proteins' delivered by WRONG deployment systems, consider Injectible 'Proteins' OF such; Eggs, Nuts, Milk. 'Normal introductions' are via ingestion = Tat'd be the Basic principle OF, Down Ze Throat! Does anyone, see an issue with 'Changing' Compartmentlisations of 'Delivery'- No? Take an internal combustion engine - Fuel, lubricant, coolant. Should one 'Swap' said ingredients into another System - even though it be the SAME engine, the Nett result IS - Catastrophic failure! Apparently, Inanimate objects(related engine) ARE more important than Animate Beings!
Last; I also didn't Swear, nor utilise descriptive adjectives once - Even as a 'Tradie'. FUGGIN' HOORAH!!

I can think of a choice few who fit your description perfectly.
I was certainly picturing a couple of choice examples as I wrote it!
Hope and trust parenthood is joyous for you!
I’m loving it 🙏

And above all, in recent times, environmentalism.

What is sex, really?
It is not what puritans claim: a necessary evil, a throwback to ignorant instinct, a distraction from higher pursuits. It is not what passionless pornography suggests: a performance, a conquest, a transaction.
