This books explores the ways in which breastfeeding is both
promoted and made difficult in the United States, while the use of
formula is both shamed and promoted. It uses a mix of qualitative
and quantitative methods to explore the politics, policies, and
individual experiences surrounding infant feeding. The analysis
shows that a failure to separate the issue of breastfeeding rights
and support from breastfeeding promotion and advocacy in both
academic scholarship and public discourse has led to a deadlock
that prevents groups from working together in support of
breastfeeding without shaming. A caring infant feeding advocacy is
developed. This approach values the caring work done by parents and
recognizes the benefits of this work to society. It promotes
policies supportive of parenting in general, and breastfeeding in
particular, to remove barriers that may present a challenge to some
women who may wish to breastfeed, while supporting the development
of better alternatives for those who don't.
