Is breastfeeding a patriarchal plot, or is formula rat poison? Today we’re talking about the controversial topics of formula and breastfeeding, and many of the things society gets wrong about these two things.
With Suzanne Barston’s Bottled Up as a guide, we’ll take a look at many of the issues that make breastfeeding difficult, why we often put unfair burdens on mothers trying to nurse, and why we can do so much better.
Hope you enjoy it!
