| Publisher Description: Why do mothers fail to breastfeed their babies? The majority of mothers know breastfeeding gives their baby the best start in life yet a mere 17% of mothers are still breastfeeding when their babies are three months old. Why? Controversial author and The Alpha Parent blogger Allison Dixley argues mothers fail to breastfeed because women undermine each other, using a toxic mix of deception, guilt, excuses, envy, contempt, defensiveness and sabotage. Drawing on academic research in psychology, biology, philosophy and anthropology, she sheds light on the hidden emotions of early motherhood, and reveals the deep and widespread damage artificial feeding can have on a mother's confidence in her body, her mothering and in other women. |
