ICE detains Marine Corps veteran's wife who was still breastfeeding their baby

[CareyOn]

8. The special needs of breastfeeding mothers are seldom mentioned.

It is one more example of extreme callousness toward women. A woman who is suddenly forced two stop nursing an infant will
probably experience engorgement which can be painful. Most likely she will not have access to supplies or meds to help the situation
while in detainment. If the situation is not addressed, she can develop mastitis. And, this is not taking into account the psychological
aspect of separation from the infant. But, there is always the fallback that a woman was meant to go through things and nature must be allowed to take its course. I worry so about these women. I am not a health care professional, just a woman of many years of life experiences.
