Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that no infant formula produced by corporate America can match the nutritional superiority of breast milk, which he described as "the infant formula that God made… which is … breast milk."
Key Remarks
He made these comments during a December 2025 event at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport alongside Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, while announcing family and health travel initiatives. Kennedy emphasized that the Department of Health and Human Services encourages mothers to breastfeed as much as possible.
Context and Reactions
The statements align with his broader Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda, including prior reports advocating government support for breastfeeding, donor milk supplies, and stricter infant formula regulations. They drew criticism on social media from parents and advocates who viewed them as shaming mothers unable to breastfeed and called for better support like paid leave.
