It is the first thing we look for at birth and, for most, it is the first substance to touch our tongues after we enter the world. It is the promise of nourishment, of care, of life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Using the arc of her own experience, cultural historian Joanna Wolfarth takes us on an intimate journey of discovery beyond mother and baby, asking how the world views caregivers, their bodies, their labour and their communal bonds. By bringing together art, social histories, philosophy, folk wisdom and contemporary interviews with women from across the world, \u003ci\u003eMilk\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how infant feeding has been represented and repressed, celebrated and censured. In doing so, it charts previously unexplored territory - and offers comfort and solace to anyone who has fed or will feed a child.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Health \u0026amp; Fitness, Women's Health\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orion Publishing Group, Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781474623230\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Orion Publishing Group, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £6.47","offer_id":47916058771633,"sku":"SB-1474623239-C3","price":6.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1474623239.jpg?v=1789621513","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/milk-an-intimate-history-of-breastfeeding","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
