Breastfeeding is not rocket science! Breastfeeding rates continue to fall worldwide and are below recommended goals for optimum health. Susanna Scurry has lived breastfeeding as a mother, grandmother, midwife and lactation consultant for fifty years. Within this book she offers insights into why breastfeeding is not supported, beginning with the subjugation of women due to Australia's history as a penal colony of the British empire. Susanna writes a compelling story of how the gender specific, altruistic work of women has evolved and been impacted by religion, politics and the capitalist economic model. Susanna offers research based practical ideas to support policy makers, health professionals and breastfeeding women.
