The Politics of Breastfeeding: When Breasts are Bad for Business

This book helped me understand just why it so important that us mamas stick up for ourselves, our babies and our right to do what’s natural. If thats not a good enough reason to read it then I don’t know what is

A brilliant book that explains- in a very readable way- the cultural situation that creates and maintains breastfeeding problems. It is profound, relevant, intelligent and should make every reader step up and take responsibility for their role in creating change.

If you previously believed the decision to breastfeed is purely a personal one, this book will change your mind. Palmer provides a comprehensive history of breastfeeding, situating the practice within its wider political context, writing in an accessible and engaging way.

This book will inspire you to become a more passionate advocate for breastfeeding. Essential reading!his is a brilliant book, has helped me on my journey as a student midwife and now as a qualified midwife. It’s well written, very informative and I find has served to help my passion for breastfeeding on a personal and proffessional level grow.

Also the content is shocking and thrilling enough that its a good read for husbands/partners.

This book is truly an eye opener, I thought I had a handle on the world. The 1st part that deals with historical breastfeeding is so fascinating. The 2nd part dealing with corporations left me feeling so educated. Everyone should read this book, I insisted my husband did.

A really powerful book that truly makes you think. Also makes you see things like formula ads in a whole new light. Makes you more determined to be an advocate & angry about how formula companies have affected & do affect breastfeeding.
