Feminists and Breastfeeding

Wolf, Feminists and Breastfeeding

I don’t have time to do a commentary right now, but I really enjoyed this article. I shared it with Candice, and she was horrified at how the formula companies have been able to alter breastfeeding campaigns. (

With all of the benefits for women and children, why hasn’t the feminist movement jumped on the breastfeeding bandwagon? Why let big business bully women around?

Its long, but a good read, and very AP-friendly!

    Amanda,

    I read this article back in 2005 (shortly after the loss of our first child) and it is what convinced me to breastfeed our future children. Before I read the article I had no clue that there was any difference between formula and breastmilk. I thought both were the same and that it was simply a matter of choice. I am so thankful to have found this article back then. It still means so much to me. :)
