excellent analysis on history & politics of infant feeding
By A Customer on April 1, 2000
This book is not for people who want to be reassured that formula is "just as good" as breastmilk. Maureen Minchin presents a compelling argument for avoiding gratuitous use of infant formula, looking at the insidious introduction of formula into mainstream society and how it has become syonymous with "normal" infant nutrition. Maureen Minchin lifts the lid on infant formula and exposes the dangers of introducing these unnecessary elements into the body of a susceptible infant.

brings out my *mother bear* instinct
By auntyMEL on November 3, 2001
We all know the benefits of breastfeeding. Some women breastfeed, and should be encouraged and supported in this role. Other women don't breastfeed, or only breastfeed for a very short time. Should we blame them, judge them, add to their burden of guilt? Not according to Minchin. We should all think about what society has done to lead to this situation. Who is supporting and encouraging the women and their babies who do not take to breastfeeding blissfully and easily?
I experienced very fierce emotions when reading this book for the first time, it definately changed my life. My previous attitude that bottle-feeding mums were failures has been replaced by a strong feeling that society had failed these women and their families, (and an immense feeling of guilt for being so harsh in my previous judgement).
