Feminism, Breasts and Breast-Feeding Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This book uses a feminist approach to examine the vast amount of material on breast-feeding.

Baby milk manufacture is usually seen as the sole cause of the decline in breast-feeding.

Using interviews with women the author looks at other dimensions: the sexualization of breasts; the conditions under which infant feeding takes place and professional interventions into mothering.

Policy documents and popular breast-feeding books are shown to be preoccupied with getting women to do what they deem natural rather than with women's real needs.
