As women continue to bear children, all parents should ask the
following question: How can a woman fulfill her unique
responsibility as mother to her child when prevailing parenting
practices deny the importance of breastfeeding and maternal care?
Maternal care is now thought to be impractical and a luxury for
those who can afford it. Thus, many women need to defend their
right and responsibility to care for even the youngest of
babies.
Dr. Kawasaki, a pediatrician and stay-at-home mother of two,
asserts in "Mothering with Breastfeeding and Maternal Care" that
current attitudes toward mothering have not evolved naturally. Over
the course of a century, child-rearing experts, sociologists, and
feminists have made systematic efforts to undermine the importance
of a woman's role in the home.
Dr. Kawasaki offers compelling reasons for parents to think
seriously about the unique role women play in their children's
lives, particularly in early childhood. She argues that the
priceless benefits of breastfeeding and hands-on maternal care help
to ensure the optimal growth and development of young babies and
children.
