As some readers may have figured out, I’m into breastfeeding. Not in some weirdo pervy fetish way and not in a judgemental “you’re killing your baby if you give it formula”. I breastfeed and I think if you can do it it’s a wonderful thing. Andi Silverman and her book Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner’s Guide to Breastfeeding feels the same way and that’s why I think it may well be one of the best books on the subject out there.

I already took heat for expressing myself about taking heat for breastfeeding in public, for supporting women who choose not to breastfeed or who cannot for numerous reasons, and for suggesting of all things that there is ::gasp:: racism in some lactivist circles. The debate on when, where, and how to breastfeed rages especially loud this week as it is World Breastfeeding Week called for by World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action, a partnership that includes the World Health Organization, UNICEF, La Leche League International and a host of lactation specialists and consultants.

No, I’m not talking about Girls Gone Wild or even about a novela about breasts. Besides being objects of desire, breasts are pretty damn functional especially for many mothers. But baring breasts to feed a baby has become so controversial, you’d think breastfeeding mamis were asking for single dollar bills every time they open their nursing bras. There have been a few well publicized cases of women being asked off of planes, out of restaurants, and even given tickets for feeding their babies with their boobs.
Within the Latino community within the US, attitudes about breastfeeding are mixed.
