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.
Inside this book are the most honest, intimate and vulnerable stories of more than 80 mothers, collected over five years – as well as the poignant accounts of fathers, partners and family members – who have been through the journey of feeding new babies.
Along with some helpful information on how breasts and babies work together, there is a beautiful space made here, for heart-warming, cathartic and healing stories. They are real. They are raw. They are companions for any new mother, reminding her that she’s not alone
