- senderista 7y agoThe economist Emily Oster debunks some of the more dubious claims of breastfeeding advocates (and many pediatricians) in her book _Expecting Better_.
- RHSeeger 7y agoI don't know that debunks is the right word. Rather, it seems like she provides differing opinions and some counter-arguments/data. At least for the alcohol argument, she puts for "it hasn't been proven that drinking is a risk" which, while a reasonable stance, is not the same as "it's been shown not to be a risk". There's a lot of parents that would rather not risk it for the former.
