Historia
Celebrities are photographed nursing in public, yet breastfeeding mothers are asked to cover up in malls and on airplanes. Breastfeeding is a private act, yet everyone has an opinion about it. How did feeding our babies get so complicated? Journalist and infant health advocate Kimberly Seals Allers breaks breastfeeding out of the realm of "personal choice" and shows our broader connection to an industrialized food system that begins at birth, the fallout of feminist ideals, and the federal policies that are far from family friendly.

Whiny and Entitled
Revisado: 03-24-25
I am a CLC and therefore strong advocate for breastfeeding, but this book was a whole lot of self-entitled expectation that government, society, men, etc need to change in order to make women’s breastfeeding experience possible and without any cost to the mother. (i.e. women who breastfeed should be supplemented with social security benefits for the work of nursing their children.) This book felt a whole lot like a self-pity session on all the ways external circumstances stop women from nursing their children rather than acknowledging that having children, let alone nursing them, requires self- sacrifice on many levels. This sacrifice is both okay and totally worth it.
