Learning How to Mother: An Ethnographic Investigation of an Urban Breastfeeding Group.
Merrill, Elizabeth Bryant
Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v18 n3 p222-40 Sep 1987
Describes an urban La Leche League breastfeeding support group in western New York. The group demonstrates how some mothers are adapting to the effects of rapid social change, particularly on the mother-infant bond. Members are transmitting a style of natural mothering based on complete breastfeeding by relying on intragenerational modeling. (KH)
