Breast Hole

You might like to incorporate this into the history. --jmb (talk) 21:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Breast Hole at Tean Hall Mill

Useful source

Here a recent New Yorker piece with lots of sources within it, if anyone wants to add bits to our article: [1]. BrainyBabe (talk) 10:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

COnsider the statement "If women have grown up in communities where formula feeding is the norm, according to Bourdieu these norms of attitude and practices form unconscious memories [20]. Indeed, Groleau and Rodriguez described formula feeding in their disadvantaged French-Canadian community as the 'normal' or even 'natural' way to feeding a baby, and therefore breastfeeding as 'unnatural' or 'controversial'" found at https://internationalbreastfeedingjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1746-4358-6-7

To do

I think a lot of the content in this article doesn't address the history of breastfeeding. These items I think belong more to the article 'breastfeeding'

Prevalence of breastfeeding in the 20th en 21st century
Publicity, promotion and law
Breastfeeding in public
Cultural conflicts
Recent global uptake

The quality of these items are not so good, so I'm hesitant to cut and paste it too the 'breastfeeding' article. Grietje (talk)Grietje —Preceding undated comment added 21:30, 6 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]

I moved this section to the bottom of the talkpage, following the normal rules. I think you are absolutely right and this article has lost its focus. If you want to WP:be bold, you have my support. One way is to move the material to the breastfeeding article. Another is to move it to the talkpage of that article. Another is to ask for help on that talkpage, or other realted project pages. Good luck! BrainyBabe (talk) 17:06, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit late, but I'd like to point out that this article was created in order to break up the Breastfeeding article, that was becoming unwieldy (I think at the time it was 100k long, along with the content of the "Difficulties" article). Perhaps the article could be renamed, something like "History and Culture of Breastfeeding"? Ciotog (talk) 11:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

history of PUBLIC breastfeeding

Can this be elaborated on somewhere? I expect it was frowned upon in Victorian society, but what about further back? Did it matter for peasant women during the middle ages? Did the Romans or Greeks frown upon women doing that in public? Vikings or Celts? ScratchMarshall (talk) 04:44, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
