In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the number of women serving in the United States military. Most women serving on active duty are of childbearing age. The decision to breastfeed while remaining on active duty is an area of potential conflict. While it is well known that full-time employment decreases the incidence and duration of breastfeeding, active duty women may face additional obstacles such as potential deployment, body weight requirements, and hazardous workplace exposures, in addition to problems faced by their civilian counterparts.

Current public health promotion of breastfeeding relies heavily on health messaging and individual behavior change. Women are told that “breast is best” but too little serious attention is given to addressing the many social, economic, and political factors that combine to limit women’s real choice to breastfeed beyond a few days or weeks. The result: women’s, infants’, and public health interests are undermined. Beyond Health, Beyond Choice examines how feminist perspectives can inform public health support for breastfeeding. Written by authors from diverse disciplines, perspectives, and countries, this collection of essays is arranged thematically and considers breastfeeding in relation to public health and health care; work and family; embodiment (specifically breastfeeding in public); economic and ethnic factors; guilt; violence; and commercialization. By examining women’s experiences and bringing feminist insights to bear on a public issue, the editors attempt to reframe the discussion to better inform public health approaches and political action. Doing so can help us recognize the value of breastfeeding for the public’s health and the important productive and reproductive contributions women make to the world.

At the Breast is a fascinating look at how women in different economic and ethnic groups respond to the 1990s version of idealized motherhood, particularly breastfeeding. Discouraged by the medical community from the 1950s to the 1970s, breast-feeding regained esteem in the 1980s. and now most doctors take the line that "breast is best, " In fact, as Linda Blum demonstrates, popular magazines and the news media frequently report the health benefits of breast milk for infants, so that breastfeeding is now considered the sine qua non of good mothering, and often the "bond" that cements the mother/child relationship.As she explores the history and reasons for this shift, Blum reveals that a discussion about the seemingly private and individual practice of breastfeeding is really a larger conversation about motherhood, sexuality, class, and race. She interviews three groups of women -- the white, middle-class mothers of La Leche League and black and white working-class mothers -- to discover that breastfeeding can be, by turns, a deeply gratifying experience of embodiment, an anxiety-evoking reminder of uncertain respectability and diminished expectations, and an undesirable practice mat carries reminders of the painful history of relations between blacks and whites in the U.S.For mothers considering their roles and for readers interested in questions of feminism. class, and race. At the Breast offers a penetrating view of our society from a unique angle.

Breastfeeding is really one of those wonders of nature even though we mostly take it for granted. This is an experience between a mother and her child that involves the child's nutrition and protection from certain childhood diseases but also from diseases they would otherwise develop later on in life if they were not breastfed.In addition to being their food source however, breastfeeding is also a source or emotional security and comfort for the child and as such, the weaning process has to be gradual rather than abrupt as an abrupt end to breastfeed will more than likely have a negative impact on both the child as well as the mother.Breastfeeding is also a great way in which a woman can lose the weight she gained during pregnancy. In fact, a woman who is breastfeeding will lose a lot more weight than her counterpart who is not breastfeeding or not doing so exclusively until her child gets to the six month stage of his or her life.Breastfeeding does not mean that a woman will always lose interest in sexual intercourse with her partner. Admittedly, there are some factors that will cause a breastfeeding woman to have a lessened libido such as being tired all the time and because of vaginal dryness due to the lack of ovulation. There are a significant number of women who are still quite sexually active while they are breastfeeding, but it is imperative that their partner be understanding and realize that their breastfeeding partner may not always want to have sex even though they do enjoy having sex. It just takes love and understanding to make it work for both the mother and her partner.Table of ContentsWhat Is Breastfeeding : What Women Should KnowHow To Do Breast Feeding : A Step By Step GuideBreastfeeding Weight Loss : Key Facts About A Woman's WeightBreastfeeding Sex : Keeping Your Sex Life Healthy While BreastfeedingBreastfeeding Diet : What To Eat To Keep Your Baby HealthyBreastfeeding Twins : A Critical Chapter For Moms With TwinsBreastfeeding Weaning : A Guide To Wean Children Off Breast MilkBreastfeeding Nutrition : The Benefits Of Breast Milk To Your BabyBreastfeeding Answers : Answers To 20 Questions About Breastfeeding

This study examined the incidence and duration of breastfeeding in active duty women in the armed forces. A convenience sample chart review of 220 active duty women was chosen. These were women who delivered at a southwestern military medical center between January 1997 through June 1997. Women with multiple gestation, premature deliveries (less than 37 weeks) and maternal/infant complications were excluded from the study. After applying the exclusion criteria, and subtracting the inpatient records not available, and the women who chose bottle-feeding prior to delivery the sample size was 99 women. Data was collected from existing records. The mother's inpatient delivery record provided the demographic data, delivery type, complications and the type of feeding chosen. The type of feeding at discharge was verified by examining the newborn inpatient record. The infant's outpatient record was examined to collect the feeding type at 2, 8, 16, and 24 weeks. The logistic regression performed on the incidence data and demographics revealed marital status as the one variable of statistical significance with a p value of 0.04. The women who were married breastfeed more frequently than those women who were not married. In conclusion, the study provides the incidence of breastfeeding in active duty women and an evaluation of the types of women in the armed forces. Further research needs to be conducted to evaluate the duration of breastfeeding in active duty women to more fully understand if there are services or support that can be provided to help these employed women continue breastfeeding.
