Breastfeeding in Hospital by Fiona Dykes
Using case studies and interview material of mothers' experiences, this book provides a new, radical and critical perspective on the ways in which women experience breastfeeding in hospitals.'This book contributes significantly to our understanding of women’s experience and decisions about breastfeeding, What is particularly exciting about this work is that it gives new insight into the impact of the institution, a hospital postnatal ward, on women’s experience and decisions about feeding' – Virginia Schmied, Associate Professor, School of Nursing, University of Western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Dyke reveals that what occurs in hospital is the 'management' of what is seen as a vunerable mechanism for the transfer of a superior fluid, rather than the encouragement of a nurturing relationship between mother and baby. New Digest Mary Smale, NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor and Tutor
