Opis

This book explores how breastfeeding is both promoted and made difficult in the United States, while the use of formula is simultaneously shamed and promoted. An exploration of feminist scholarship, forms of advocacy, grassroots activism, and breastfeeding experiences sheds light on a way forward that offers substantive support without shaming.
