What's so special about breastfeeding anyway?
Only a third of British mothers are still breastfeeding their babies at six months. By comparison, in Australia, more than 90 percent of mums carry on to six months and beyond. This is a class issue: the women who are subject to the strongest social pressure to bottle feed are the people who can least afford it. This chapter is written to persuade new mothers to give breastfeeding a go, not because you SHOULD, or you HAVE TO but...
...because you might like it.
"I would not have succeeded breastfeeding my son if it wasn't for this book. I was 26 and I and found lots of my peers really weird about breastfeeding, through lack of knowledge, and embarrassment probably. If it hadn't been for this book I would have given up, because some of my friends (as well as my Mum's generation who were encouraged to bottle feed) made me feel like a bit of a freak for wanting to do it. This book was like a friend to me. With my second baby I feel 100% confident breastfeeding and I'm positive this book is one of the reasons why. I can't recommend it enough. JUST BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!"
