A thoughtful analysis of the binds young women face to be 'good mothers' and breast feed a child for at least a year while living in a society which does not support this with adequate family and medical leave policies, workplace norms, or social supports. This book explores the social context in which women decide whether or not to breastfeed. Maureen Rand Oakley highlights how the most sensible approach forward is to promote common ground between breastfeeding advocates and critics with an approach that supports women and breastfeeding, while not shaming those who do not breastfeed., Dr. Oakley carefully navigates a middle path between breastfeeding activists and detractors, demonstrating how women's breastfeeding decisions are subject competing social forces, the policy environment, the workplace, and their support system. She calls upon scholars and activists to move beyond the breast vs. bottle dichotomy to engage in a productive and supportive conversation about infant care.

The study explores the social context in which women decide whether or not to breastfeed. The author highlights how the most sensible approach forward is to promote common ground between breastfeeding advocates and critics with an approach that supports women, and breastfeeding while not shaming those who do not breastfeed." , In this clear and compelling book, Oakley examines the paradox of breastfeeding in America. In theory, breastfeeding is viewed as an important public health concern and recommended to most mothers; in practice, however, American culture, policy, and medical protocols make breastfeeding difficult for many women. Oakley weaves an important and captivating story by examining the history of infant feeding, employing interviews to understand breastfeeding 'on the ground,' and analyzing the relationship between breastfeeding rates and other reproductive policies and medical practices. A political scientist, Oakley has crafted a book that will easily benefit courses on public policy or health politics, and her approachable writing style makes this book interesting to historians and gender studies students.... Aimed at nonspecialists, general readers (including undergraduates) will find this book useful and interesting. Summing Up: Recommended.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
