Author: Gabrielle Palmer

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 352


In this revised and updated edition, Gabrielle Palmer asks whether bottle feeding really does free women to lead more fulfilling lives. She examines social attitudes in a world where a woman who does breastfeed her child risks losing what little income she earns, and alerts the reader to the commercial reasons behind doctors' recommendations. With a blend of facts, insight and anecdote, Palmer puts infant feeding "fashions" in their historical and economic contexts. The book is also updated with information on AIDS and breastfeeding.
