Recenzii

"Nathoo and Ostey trace this pendulum swing from breastfeeding to bottle feeding and back again in an illuminating study which examines the scientific background to the development of manufactured baby milks, reviews the latest evidence for breastfeeding's advantages for the baby, and teases out the implications of breastfeeding on gender equality in the workplace." - Linda Knowles, Independent Researcher, British Journal of Canadian Studies, Volume 23 (Number 2), 2010
