For the longest time, like so many people, I've wondered about the
relationship between bad latching, reduced maternal confidence and
formula-culture interference. Anybody out there, like Helen Armstrong or
Kathy Dettwyler, with experience of breastfeeding in places before Western
culture, formula-feeding culture and formula companies arrived? Then with
experience in the same place later to see how things changed? What is the
incidence of sore nipples in populations where breastfeeding really is
normal? The incidence of mastitis? Or, if this is already old news, anybody
got ideas for an archive search to pull out the answer: I'd need to look at
more than "sore nipple". Thanks.
