“O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.” ^{Psalms 95:6 (KJV)}

Are you one of those obnoxious parents who’s worried about how you’re going to feed your infant during a nationwide shortage of baby formula? Well, you need to take a chill pill, says Bette Midler.

In response to MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle tweeting about the formula crisis:

The baby formula shortage reveals an amazing secret oligopoly:
– 3 American companies control over 90% of the mkt
– hugely restrictive regulations (thanks to big $ lobbying) prohibit foreign formulas

Name another industry/sector/product like this

Midler suggested that parents stop complaining and TRY BREASTFEEEDING, which is way easier for everyone:

TRY BREASTFEEEDING! It’s free and available on demand. https://t.co/15xetgg1ps

Clearly Bette put a lot of thought into this.

No.

Please- we all love you, but delete this now.

There are soooooooo many reasons a woman cannot or chooses not to breastfeed.

This sentiment is not helping the mothers trying to keep their babies from starving right now.

So much compassion. Bette’s cups runneth over.
