They found that supplemental feeding, regardless of whether given by cup or bottle, had a detrimental effect on the length of breastfeeding.

There can be few processes so intrinsic to the feminine psyche that have been so publicly ignored as breastfeeding. Yet no other part of the female anatomy has received as much attention, nor been so celebrated, scrutinised, reviled and eulogised as the breast.

A scholar and feminist, she has sought to straddle the gap between academic works and popular appeal.

The service was fast, the judgments even hastier. Never did Jacqueline Mercado imagine that four rolls of film dropped off at an Eckerd Drugs one-hour photo lab near her home would turn her life inside out, threaten to send her to jail and prompt the state to take away her kids.
