The hospital says, \"Breast is best,\" but sends you home with formula \"just in case.\" Your sister-in-law says, \"Of course you should \" Your mother says, \"I didn't, and you turned out just fine.\" Celebrities are photographed nursing in public, yet breastfeeding mothers are asked to cover up in malls and on airplanes. Breastfeeding is a private act, yet everyone has an opinion about it. How did feeding our babies get so complicated?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJournalist and infant health advocate Kimberly Seals Allers breaks breastfeeding out of the realm of \"personal choice\" and shows our broader connection to an industrialized food system that begins at birth, the fallout of feminist ideals, and the federal policies that are far from family friendly. \u003ci\u003eThe Big Letdown\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the multibillion-dollar forces battling to replace mothers' milk and the failure of the medical establishment to protect infant health. Weaving together research and personal stories with original reporting on medicine, big pharma, and hospitals, Kimberly Seals Allers shows how mothers and babies have been abandoned by all the forces that should be supporting families from the start--and what we can do to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250026965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017 pg. 117\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kimberly Seals Allers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36648506097820,"sku":"9781250026965","price":30.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0036361c-c742-481b-b918-43d303ed905f.jpg?v=1603870228","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/big-letdown-9781250026965","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
