In this book, Rima D. Apple discloses and analyzes the complex interactions of science, medicine, economics, and culture that underlie this dramatic shift in infant-care practices and women's lives. As infant feeding became the keystone of the emerging specialty of pediatrics in the twentieth century, the manufacture of infant food became a lucrative industry. More and more mothers reported difficulty in nursing their babies. While physicians were establishing themselves and the scientific experts and the infant-food industry was hawking the scientific bases of their products, women embraced "scientific motherhood," believing that science could shape child care practices. The commercialization and medicalization of infant care established an environment that made bottle feeding not only less feared by many mothers, but indeed "natural" and "necessary." Focusing on the history of infant feeding, this book clarifies the major elements involved in the complex and sometimes contradictory interaction between women and the medical profession, revealing much about the changing roles of mothers and physicians in American society. 410 0$aWisconsin publications in the history of science and medicine ;$v7. 606 $aBreastfeeding$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBreastfeeding$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aInfants$xNutrition$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aInfants$xNutrition$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMothers$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMothers$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPhysician and patient$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPhysician and patient$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPhysicians$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPhysicians$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aBreastfeeding$xHistory 615 0$aBreastfeeding$xHistory 615 0$aInfants$xNutrition$xHistory 615 0$aInfants$xNutrition$xHistory 615 0$aMothers$xHistory 615 0$aMothers$xHistory 615 0$aPhysician and patient$xHistory 615 0$aPhysician and patient$xHistory 615 0$aPhysicians$xHistory 615 0$aPhysicians$xHistory 676 $a362.1/9892 700 $aApple$b Rima D$g(Rima Dombrow),$f1944-$01462402 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782550303321 996 $aMothers and medicine$93671388 997 $aUNINA
