Attached Family Issue 2014: Breastfeeding Challenges

Attachment Parenting helps mothers—-whether breastfeeding or bottle feeding—-view infant care in the context of the holistic parent-child relationship and learn how that give-and-take interaction that builds the foundation of secure attachment can be applied beyond feeding with love and respect. In this double issue of Attached Family, we take a look at the cultural explosion of breastfeeding advocacy, as well as the challenges still to overcome, with features such as: The Real Breastfeeding Story, Extended Breastfeeding Around the World, When Breastfeeding Doesn't Work, Breastfeed, Chicago!, A Mom-Inspired Milk Bank, Nature's Case for Breastfeeding, an introduction to API's Parent Support Deserts project, The History of Formula, and an array of parent stories, project highlights and additional resources from around and beyond API.
