Description
Book SynopsisProbes breastfeeding politics through the lens of the author's own experiences as well as those of the women she has met through her popular blog, The Fearless Formula Feeder. Incorporating expert opinions, medical literature, and popular media into a pithy, often wry narrative, this title offers a corrective to our infatuation with the breast.
Trade Review"Barston's short and well-researched book ... based on two years' of interviews with pediatricians, researchers, sociologists, statisticians and fellow feminists will either help expectant moms make personal decisions, or potentially reassure them if they find themselves unable to breastfeed when they had wanted to do so." - Top 10 Books to Gift at a Baby Shower Brain, Child
