Feeding Our Babies: Exploring Traditions of Breastfeeding and Infant Nutrition Jacqueline Vincent-Priya
This book explores the relationship between traditions of birth and traditions of breastfeeding around the world. It also describes the wide variety of infant feeding patterns found worldwide and the ways in which breastfeeding and other forms of feeding are combined as the baby grows. A range of material about traditions of breastfeeding and infant nutrition in many places around the world are brought together in this volume, and in doing so, the advice about infant nutrition generally given to the mothers in the UK and similar countries can be put into a broader context.
