Social scientist and mother Courtney Jung explores the everexpanding world of breastfeeding advocacy, shining a new light on the diverse communities who compose it, the dubious science behind it, and the pernicious public policies to which it has given riseIs breast really best? Breastfeeding is widely assumed to be the healthiest choice, yet growing evidence suggests that its benefits have been greatly exaggerated. New moms are pressured by doctors, health officials, and friends to avoid the bottle at all costsoften at the expense of their jobs, their pocketbooks, and their wellbeing.In Lactivism, political scientist Courtney Jung offers the most deeply researched and farreaching critique of breastfeeding advocacy to date. Drawing on her own experience as a devoted mother who breastfed her two children and her expertise as a social scientist, Jung investigates the benefits of breastfeeding and asks why so many people across the political spectrum are passionately invested in promoting it, even as its health benefits have been persuasively challenged. What emerges is an eyeopening story about class and race in America, the big business of breastfeeding, and the fraught politics of contemporary motherhood.

This book really opened my eyes to how breastfeeding has become such a big business. The sections on the political and commercial aspects were particularly striking. If you're a new parent or involved in health, this one's for you!

Mixed Feelings on the Content
While I appreciated the wide range of perspectives in this book, some parts felt a bit scattered. The weaving of different narratives sometimes lost me. Still, it's a decent read if you're curious about the business side of breastfeeding.
