On a December episode of The View in which the cohosts were discussing wet nursing, Whoopi Goldberg said, "If they're old enough to have teeth, they should not be breastfeeding." However, the statement wasn't an opinion, because opinions denote that there's a lack of certainty on the matter. Hers was a proclamation and it was a bold-faced lie, right on national television. Considering some babies get their first teeth as early as three months of age and that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life, Whoopi's flippant words were patently wrong.
