Title: interesting reading
Product review: I just recently re-read this book after it had been sitting on my shelf for a few years. It was very interesting to me to read about how other cultures raise babies and children. Definitely sparked my interest to read more on this topic. What I was disappointed in was the way the author seemed to brush off the importance of breastfeeding. This was surprising after she made a point of discussing how it is carried out routinely and for extended periods in other cultures. Quote from page 169: " Of course there's no harm in bottle feeding, if we find this a more comfortable arrangement than nursing, or if we have no choice. Whole generations of infants have grown up on bottle milk and survived well enough." (Heller, 1997) Hmmmmmm, La Leche League would be all over this statement.
