Barbara:
"This book is worth reading and is a refreshing addition to any
breastfeeding mother's or helper's library. It illustrates the fact
that there is ‘a biological framework independent of
culture’ that governs the link between breastfeeding and
mammalian behaviour. The authors emphasise that breastfeeding must be
seen as an emotional relationship, rather than as a step-by-step system
of box-ticking. Babies are in fact 'hardwired' to breastfeed."

Promoting
and supporting optimal maternal and infant nutrition is a major
international health issue across the globe. Traditionally, maternal
and infant nutrition was viewed as the biochemical transfer of
nutrients from mother to child. While this biochemical understanding is
crucial, there is a growing need to understand and address the
political, socio-cultural and economic influences upon eating, feeding
and nutrition. It is being increasingly recognised that despite the
international agenda, maternal eating and infant feeding practices
relate substantially to local cultural norms and constraints. This book
utilises a socio-biological perspective; that is, a perspective that
recognises complex interactions between political, socio-cultural and
biological factors in food and health. It illuminates some of the many
challenges and considerable controversies inherent in the field.

Breastfeeding
In Hospital: Mothers, Midwives and the Production Line - out of stock

"Breast
is Best" is today's prevailing mantra. However, women - particularly
first-time mothers - frequently feel unsupported when they come to feed
their baby. This new experience often takes place in the impersonal and
medicalised surroundings of a hospital maternity ward where women are
'seen to' by overworked midwives.
Using
a UK-based ethnographic study and interview material, this book
provides a new, radical and critical perspective on the ways in which
women experience breastfeeding in hospitals. It highlights that, in
spite of heavy promotion of breastfeeding, there is often a lack of
support for women who begin to breastfeed in hospitals.
The
book thus challenges the current system of postnatal care which results
in neither service user nor provider feeling satisfied. Highly relevant
to health professional and breastfeeding supporters as well as to
students in health and social care, medical anthropology and medical
sociology as it explores practice issues while contextualising them
within a broad social, political and economic context.
