Breastfeeding Matters Maureen Minchin (1998) The book that convinced many people to think again about the myth of infant feeding 'not really making much difference in western countries'. How babies are nurtured reflects the culture and society. This book is as much about the politics of health as about practical feeding information, because, at present, cultures largely determine infant feeding 'choices'. Recommended reading for journalists, health professionals, parents, teachers, in fact anyone who was a baby, has a baby or thinks about society. In short, YOU should read it. It will change your views on infant feeding, women's health, business ethics, food safety and more. |
