Historical, Cultural and Social Aspects of Breastfeeding

I chat with Newborn Mothers educator Antonia Anderson from Peaceful Postnatal, who teaches two modules on Breastfeeding in our Postpartum Education and Care Professional training. Together we discuss the social, historical and cultural structures impacting women's ability to breastfeed. At the core of this conversation, we challenge the belief that women are responsible for their own breastfeeding success. Instead, we explore the social and systemic change required to support mothers' breastfeeding journey.
