Publisher's Synopsis
This book aims to 'shake up' the decades-long stalemate between organisations like the World Health Organization on global infant-feeding policy, which is no longer fit for purpose; it fails to reduce the high global infant mortality rate , or incorporate the formula-milk industry, and health professionals and parents have become caught in the crossfire. The author seeks effective collaboration between conflicting parties to balance the needs of women and infants in widely varying circumstances regarding breastfeeding and the role of breastmilk replacements. It is aimed at parents, carers, breastfeeding groups, midwives, nutritionists and public-health policymakers.
