>I have just gotten into it, but Meredith Small PhD (Our Babies, Ourselves)
said it was well worth reading. There is another book out there, however,
The Anthropology of Breast-Feeding: Natural Law or Social Construct, by
Vanessa Maher which is awful.
I agree that Maher's book is awful, with the notable exception of the
chapter on Nepal by Catherine Panter-Brick. Maher's book is universally
panned by anthropologists.
