The Big Letdown

In "The Big Letdown," journalist and infant health advocate Kimberly Seals Allers explores the complex cultural, political, and economic forces shaping breastfeeding practices in modern society. Through research, personal stories, and investigative reporting, she examines how industrial interests and policies influence infant feeding, often at the expense of mothers and babies. The book sheds light on the societal challenges and offers insights into how families can be better supported from the start.
