SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Using a UK-based ethnographic study and interview material, this book provides a critical perspective on the ways in which women experience breastfeeding in hospitals. It highlights that, in spite of heavy promotion of breastfeeding, there is often a lack of support for women who begin to breastfeed in hospitals.
