Book Synopsis The Bottle, The Breast, and the State by : Maureen Rand Oakley
Download or read book The Bottle, The Breast, and the State written by Maureen Rand Oakley and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to the most widely read breastfeeding manual, La Leche League's The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, Robyn Lee's The Ethics and Politics of Breastfeeding explores breastfeeding as an art that must be developed through skillful application of effort and distinguished from a merely natural or physiological process. The Ethics and Politics of Breastfeeding challenges the dominant understanding of breastfeeding and cultivates an alternative conception as an ethical, embodied practice of the self. Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault, Emmanuel Levinas, and Luce Irigaray, Lee develops a new understanding of breastfeeding as an "art of living," where the practice is reconsidered in the light of ongoing social inequalities.

Book Synopsis The One Best Way? by : Tasnim Nathoo
Download or read book The One Best Way? written by Tasnim Nathoo and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-07-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, breastfeeding has been prominently in the public eye in relation to debates on issues ranging from parental leave policies, work−family balance, public decency, the safety of our food supply, and public health concerns such as health care costs and the obesity “epidemic.” Breastfeeding has officially been considered “the one best way” for feeding infants for the past 150 years of Canadian history. This book examines the history and evolution of breastfeeding policies and practices in Canada from the end of the nineteenth century to the turn of the twenty-first. The authors’ historical approach allows current debates to be situated within a broader social, political, cultural, and economic context. Breastfeeding shifted from a private matter to a public concern at the end of the nineteenth century. Over the course of the next century, the “best” way to feed infants was often scientifically or politically determined, and guidelines for mothers shifted from one generation to the next. Drawing upon government reports, academic journals, archival sources, and interviews with policy-makers and breastfeeding advocates, the authors trace trends, patterns, ideologies, and policies of breastfeeding in Canada.

Download or read book Lactivism written by Courtney Jung and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Breastfeeding has become a moral imperative in 21st century America. Once upon a time, this moral imperative made sense. Breastfeeding was believed to bring multiple health benefits, including increased resistance to many chronic and even fatal diseases, protection against Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), improved intelligence, and countless immunities. The irony now, however, is that breastfeeding continues to gain moral force just as scientists are showing that its benefits have been greatly exaggerated. In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention declared the failure to breastfeed "a public health issue, " thus placing bottle-feeding on par with smoking, obesity, and unsafe sex. Recently, politicians too have launched highly visible breastfeeding initiatives, such as former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's well-publicized Latch On campaign. And, meanwhile, women who don't breastfeed their babies have found themselves with a lot of explaining to do. Physicians, public health officials, and other mothers are pressuring them to breastfeed even though the best science shows that the advantages of doing so are minimal at best. What is going on? In Lactivism, Courtney Jung offers the most deeply researched and far-reaching critique of the breastfeeding imperative to date. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, from rigorously peer-reviewed scientific research to interviews with physicians, politicians, business interests, activists, social workers, and mothers from across the social and political spectrum, Jung presents an eye-opening account of how a practice that began as an alternative to Big Business has become Big Business itself"--

Book Synopsis Breastfeeding Rights in the United States by : Karen M. Kedrowski
Download or read book Breastfeeding Rights in the United States written by Karen M. Kedrowski and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-12-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breastfeeding Rights in the United States shows that the right to breastfeed in this country exists only in a negative sense: you can do it unless someone takes you to court. Kedrowski and Lipscomb catalog and analyze all the laws, policies, judicial opinions, cultural mores, and public attitudes that bear on breastfeeding in America. They then explore the classic double bind: social norms promulgated by the medical and public health establishment say breast is best; but social practices in the workplace and in public spaces make breastfeeding difficult. Aggravating the double bind is the prominence of the breast in American culture as a sexual object. The double bind creates coercively structured choices that are incompatible with the meaningful exercise of rights. The authors conclude that the solution to this problem requires new theory and new strategy. They posit a new democratic, feminist theory of the breastfeeding right that is predicated on the following distinctions: DT It is not a right to breastfeed, but a right to choose to breastfeed. DT It is a woman's right to choose, not a baby's right to be breastfeed. DT It is a right, not a duty. The authors predict that framing the breastfeeding right in this way provides the basis for a new strategic coalition between breastfeeding advocates and liberal feminists, who have historically been wary of one another's rhetoric. Breastfeeding Rights in the United States represents an important advance toward policy change.
