Description

While 'breast is best' is a common mantra, many women face significant challenges when attempting to feed their babies in a hospital setting. This book by Routledge offers a radical and critical perspective on the breastfeeding experience within medicalized environments. Using a UK-based ethnographic study and detailed interview material, the text explores how first-time mothers often feel unsupported in impersonal maternity wards. Through this research, the book examines the reality of being 'seen to' by overworked midwives and the impact of the hospital production line on maternal care. It addresses the gap between the heavy promotion of breastfeeding and the actual support provided in clinical settings. This is an essential read for those interested in the sociology of healthcare and the lived experiences of mothers navigating the modern maternity system.
