Description
This Routledge ethnographic study offers a critical examination of breastfeeding experiences in hospital maternity wards across the UK. Drawing on interview material and fieldwork, the book challenges the 'breast is best' narrative by revealing the gap between breastfeeding promotion and actual support for mothers in hospital settings. The research highlights how first-time mothers often feel unsupported in medicalized environments where overworked midwives provide care. Rather than celebrating breastfeeding as an uncomplicated choice, this work provides a radical perspective on the structural, institutional and social barriers women encounter when feeding their babies in hospitals. It addresses how the impersonal nature of maternity wards and staffing pressures affect maternal experiences and breastfeeding success. Essential reading for healthcare professionals, midwives, anthropologists and anyone interested in understanding the complex realities of hospital-based infant feeding.

Key Features

Breastfeeding in Hospital presents a UK-based ethnographic study combined with interview material to examine maternal experiences in hospital maternity settings.

The book challenges prevailing narratives about breastfeeding by highlighting gaps between promotion and actual support available to mothers from midwives.

This Routledge publication offers critical perspectives on how medicalized hospital environments and staffing constraints affect first-time mothers' breastfeeding journeys.

The work addresses the structural and institutional barriers women face when breastfeeding in hospitals, beyond individual choice or motivation.

Suitable for healthcare professionals, midwives, anthropologists and scholars in medical sociology, maternal health and nursing research.
