There is growing recognition of the benefits of breastfeeding, leading to an influential support movement. This is good. However, many mothers now report an overbearing pressure to breastfeed. If they choose not to breastfeed, they feel that required to repeatedly justify this decision – to medical professionals, friends, relatives and even strangers. Many women who attempt to breastfeed and are unable to do so report encountering similar judgement while struggling with their own guilt. Occurring when women are highly vulnerable, this can have devastating effects.
 How do we support and encourage breastfeeding, without subjecting those who are unable, or choose not to, breastfeed to shame and guilt?  This is the Breastfeeding Dilemma.
This workshop brings together academics, policy makers, medical professionals, parental support organisations, members of the media, mothers and members of the public to address this dilemma.

Morning:  Short talks
Speakers:
Dr Fiona Woollard, (Philosophy, Southampton);
Dr Elselijn Kingma (Philosophy, Southampton)
Dr Gill Thomson (Community Health and Midwifery, UCLan)
Heather Trickey (Cardiff University, NCT)

Afternoon: Fishbowl
​An Open Fishbowl Dialogue will be used to allow all participants to contribute.
