About this listen

Pinter and Martin's Why it Matters series offer succinct, balanced and evidence-based introductions to the topics that affect family life in the 21st century. The Politics of Breastfeeding, first published in 1988, described how big business and vested interests influence the intimate relationship between mothers and their babies to the detriment of all, rich or poor, in the West or in the developing world. In Why the Politics of Breastfeeding Matter, the central ideas of the politics of breastfeeding are distilled into a concise form, making it the perfect introduction to understanding the complex forces that govern what many think of as a simple choice to breastfeed or not.

Would recommend this to everyone. Gives an essential understanding of the vile marketing of breastmilk substitutes and how the disempowerment of women’s bodies contribute to the breastfeeding crisis we face today, and what that means.

As essential read for anyone who cares about humanity

When my life allows me more free time I will offer free peer support to as many families as I can. Sadly my community breastfeeding clinic has been closed last week due to political changes.

A must listen to all when planning a family
