Alternate title:  How medicine, big business, and feminism undermine breastfeeding Edition:  1st ed. Description:  290 p. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Contents:  Doctor Who? The Medical Field's Influence on Mothers -- Milk Money The Big Business of Bodies, Breasts, and Babies -- Scientific Breakthroughs or Breakdowns? -- The Things Unseen: Battling Structural Barriers -- Nipple-omics and the Value of Motherhood -- The Feminist Fallacy -- The Problem of No Problem: The Breastfeeding Movement -- Boob Control: The Sexualization of Breastfeeding -- Ending the Letdown: The Way Forward. Summary:  "Breastfeeding. The mere mention of it has many mothers wracked with anxiety (how will I manage with work, other kids, what if I don't make enough milk?) or guilt about not doing it (will I be hurting my child if I choose not to breastfeed? what will people think of me if I choose not to?). This hot-button issue is one we've talked about repeatedly in the media and in celebrity culture. Remember when Angelina Jolie posed for the cover of W nursing her newborn? Oh, the controversy! And when Barbara Walters complained about the woman breastfeeding next to her on a plane? She was forced to issue a public apology. Or what about when supermodel Gisele Bunchen declared that there should be worldwide law that mothers be required to breastfeed their babies for the first six months of life? All hell broke loose. This topic gets people riled up, and there has never been a narrative account that explores the breastfeeding big picture for parents and their children in today's world. THE BIG LETDOWN by author, journalist, and breastfeeding advocate Kimberly Seals Allers will change that for the better and open up a candid conversation about the cultural, sociological, and economic forces that shape the breastfeeding culture and how it undermines women in the process."--From publisher.
