The Breastfeeding Cafe

Compelling, moving, and diverse, the stories in "The Breastfeeding Café "---from women all over the country---reveal the nursing relationship in all its complexity and seek to create a culture in which breastfeeding women are visible, accepted, and valued.
"The Breastfeeding Café " isn't a how-to manual on breastfeeding; instead, it offers a thoughtful forum for women to share their experiences with others. Approaching nursing as a feminist issue and one that is very important to child rearing, the book embraces the wide spectrum of women's experiences breastfeeding their children. Organized thematically and framed within a social and cultural context by a sociologist and former nursing mother of two, "The Breastfeeding Café " moves the subject of women nursing their children out from behind closed doors.
A must-read for clinicians, breastfeeding consultants, and both new and expectant mothers who are curious about the nursing experience in all its variety. Approved for use in La Leche League International Group Libraries.
