The Politics of Breastfeeding: When Breasts are Bad for Business
Product Description As revealing as “Freakonomics”, shocking as “Fast Food Nation” and thought provoking as “No Logo”, “The Politics of breastfeeding” exposes infant feeding as one of the most important public health issues of our time. Every thirty seconds a baby dies from infections due to a lack of breastfeeding and the use of bottles, artificial milks and other risky products. In her powerful book Gabrielle Palmer describes how big business uses subtle techniques to pressure parents to use alternatives to breastmilk. The infant feeding product companies’ thirst for profit systematically undermines mothers’ confidence in their ability to breastfeed their babies. An essential and inspirational eye-opener, “The Politics of Breastfeeding” challenges our complacency about how we feed our children and radically reappraises a subject which concerns not only mothers, but everyone: man or woman, parent or childless, old or young. It is the 3rd fully revised and updated edition.

Food of Love, The: Your Formula for Successful Breastfeeding
Review ‘Amazing – I laughed out loud.’ – DAVINA MCCALL ‘There’s really nothing like it. It’s so honest. Vibrant, exciting funny – and based on up-to-date research.’ – SHEILA KITZINGER ‘Very well written and researched – and great drawings too.’ – SUE GERHARDT, author of Why Love Matters: How affection shapes a baby’s brain ‘One of the wittiest books about breastfeeding I’ve had the pleasure of reading…extremely well-written and bursting with thoroughly researched breastfeeding information. Covering everything from the first feeds to co-sleeping, it explains all you need to know about breastfeeding in a very comforting and inspirational fashion. A fabulous read…If you’re looking for a great gift to give an expectant mother or a new mother who is breastfeeding, then this is the one.’ – BREASTFEEDING MUMS BLOG ‘Delightful – genuinely hard to put down, because it was so very readable. Kate’s book is also sound and accurate – she uses research-based evidence as well as personal experience and shows how many mothers cope with a variety of initial difficulties and overcome them. As a breastfeeding counsellor and trainer of peer supporters I love this book – it is truly mother-and-baby-centred.’ – CATHY FRY, NCT BREASTFEEDING COUNSELLOR ‘What a fantastic book! More like a chat over a coffee with a good friend than a text book, Evans’ approach – although completely pro-breastfeeding – is totally non-threatening or ‘preachy’ and is packed full of really useful advice and tips. The NHS should provide every pregnant woman with a copy.’ THE HOLISTIC PARENT ‘Honest advice and easy-to-follow diagrams, including a hilarious chapter on “Mama Sutra” explaining advanced breastfeeding positions…A laugh-out-loud approach to encourage mums to persevere with breastfeeding.’ – PRESS ASSOCIATION ‘Refreshing in so many ways: beautiful to look at (the cartoons are wonderful); informative and – best of all – funny.

Cartoon drawings successfully convey the message that breastfeeding is lovely and easy, yet Kate Evans also includes the latest facts and research surrounding breastfeeding as well as a useful section on further resources and references. Full of practical tips, it will meet the needs of many new mums and be of use to breastfeeding counsellors, antenatal teachers, midwives and health professionals.’ – NEW DIGEST, NCT MAGAZINE ‘Reading this book really does feel like chatting to a friend.’ – ASSOCIATION OF BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS MAGAZINE ‘Kate’s book is the closest companion to a 24-hour breastfeeding support worker than I can imagine.
