A quick hello from a new list member, and a brief answer to a question from a recent Digest..... "I have a client who is trying to do a research study on cultural, social attitudes regarding breastfeeding in public. She has only been able to find about 4 articles even using our local university library." I'd highly recommend the textbook "Breastfeeding: Biocultural Perspectives", edited by Patricia Stuart-Macadam and Katherine Dettwyler. (ISBN # 0-202-01192-5) A fascinating read, and not just once, either! In addition, your client might also try searching under "history of infant feeding" for additional historical perspective on the cultural aspects of breastfeeding. Good luck! Mary D.
