Breastfeeding and child feeding at the center of nurturing
practices, yet the work of nurture has escaped the scrutiny of
medical and social scientists. Anthropology offers a powerful
biocultural approach that examines how custom and culture interact
to support nurturing practices. Our framework shows how the unique
constitutions of mothers and infants regulate each other. The Dance
of Nurture integrates ethnography, biology and the political
economy of infant feeding into a holistic framework guided by the
metaphor of dance. It includes a critique of efforts to improve
infant feeding practices globally by UN agencies and advocacy
groups concerned with solving global nutrition and health problems.
