“…В другом исследовании было показано, что суще-ствует отдельная категория доноров и реципиентов груд-ного молока, предпочитающая банкам грудного молока сотрудничество с конкретным человеком через интернет, считая процедуру участия в донорстве слишком сложной, а приобретение молока из банка дорогим [13].…”

“…As the majority of the informants have engaged in peer-to-peer milk sharing, rather than sourcing donor breastmilk through hospital-run or private milk banks, a separate discussion of women's body practices in relation to these two contexts is developed later in this chapter. The comparison of body practices with respect to these two quite distinct environments serves to highlight several theoretical and conceptual nuances that are otherwise obscured by treating all such body practices as 'milk sharing', and confirms an important qualitative distinction emphasised in the literature (Akre et al, 2011;Gribble, 2013;Thorley, 2008aThorley, , 2012b. As an additional analytical counterpoint, I also focus in the final section on the corporeal experience of Sophie as distinct from other women involved in my research.…”

“…Most of this research confirms the dominant biomedical understanding of breastmilk as a bodily substance that is appropriately subject to strict controls in order to reduce the risk of contamination, pollution, illness, and danger. Gribble (2012Gribble ( , 2013Gribble ( , 2014a does, however, often aim to counter this discourse through critical exploration of evidence-based risk assessment and women's decision making (refer also Shaw, 2004b). Overall, the literature on milk sharing substantiates more recent conceptual work by Grosz (1994) and others who note the anarchic, outof-control, boundary-challenging nature of women's bodies as they are imagined within dominant ideologies.…”

“…The lactating/breastfeeding body is conceptualised in similar ways -as uncontrolled, leaky, inappropriately responsive, frequently insufficient, and in need of the rational knowledges and management approaches of medical and allied health professionals, and of mothers educated in and informed by professional discourses (Avishai, 2007(Avishai, , 2011Blum, 1993;Carter, 1995, p. 32;Grosz, 1994). Breastmilk itself, and the act of sharing milk, is often subject to bureaucratic and medical oversight in hospital and milk bank settings, for example (Carroll, 2012;Gribble, 2013;Zizzo, 2011). This transposes a preoccupation with notions of purity and danger common across biomedical and other social domains into the realm of breastfeeding.…”

“…'Risk assessment' -the identification and weighing of various risks against perceived benefits -is certainly a part of how women approach the sourcing and use of donor milk via peer-to-peer milk sharing networks. However, these are criteria and baselines for acceptable body work that are identified and discussed by the women themselves, on an individual case-by-case basis (Gribble, 2013(Gribble, , 2014aGribble & Hausman, 2012).…”

Becoming-(breastfeeding-)woman: women’s body practices and experiences at the intersection of breastfeeding, milk insufficiency, and milk sharing

Smith¹

The breastfeeding body is a site of complex, contested, and conspicuously moralised practices that has long been a focus for research in the social sciences through to the arts and humanities. Often too the maternal, lactating body is situated within a biomedical frame that marks the milk-producing body as problematic, failing, and subject to and object of expert knowledges. In this frame, women who identify as producing "not enough milk" to feed their babies have been a significant focus.Despite this extensive attention, however, there is little research that has explored women's experiences of and body practices enacted in relation to continued breastfeeding alongside ongoing milk insufficiency, nor the act of milk sharing as a specific response to this bodily insufficiency.In this thesis, I describe and discuss my research with 13 women who have faced difficulties in breastfeeding based on a shared experience of 'chronic milk insufficiency'. I also focus on the act of milk sharing as one response to this insufficiency. Through analysis and discussion of in-depth interviews and observation, I explore how women enact and experience body practices at the intersection of breastfeeding, milk insufficiency, and milk sharing.My critical exploration of breastfeeding, milk insufficiency, and milk sharing as interrelated body practices and modes of meaning-making is informed by, and also informs, the use of a conceptual frame developed through articulation with corporeal and post-constructionist feminism, and ideas from Deleuze and Guattari's work such as deterritorialisation, complex assemblages, flows, desire, and (inter)corporeality. I employ this rhizomatic, cyborg conceptual frame to analyse women's body practices with reference to a number of Deleuzo-Guattarian thematic strands including expectations and beginnings, incorporation and avoidance, the fragmenting body and complex assemblages, creative corporeality and body extension, and becoming-(breastfeeding-)woman.In situating embodied knowledge relative to creative body practices, and highlighting the spaces between bodies and the tension between normative and resistive body practices, I disarticulate and reterritorialise a range of ideas about maternal, lactating bodies. Taken together, these support the conceptualisation of continued breastfeeding in the context of ongoing insufficient milk as a creative, resistant (inter)corporeal act. I further discuss this creative (inter)corporeality in terms of its pragmatic and conceptual implications for anthropologists and social scientists more broadly, as well as for health professionals and others working with pregnant and breastfeeding women.ii Declaration by authorThis thesis is composed of my original work, and contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference has been made in the text.

Evolutionary biological perspectives on current social issues of breastfeeding and weaning

Breastfeeding and weaning are actively studied from evolutionary, medical, and social research perspectives because of their close association with infant mortality, lifetime health, and human population dynamics. Each discipline benefits from an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge regarding the bases, processes, and consequences of these phenomena. However, current social issues related to breastfeeding and weaning have received little attention from an evolutionary biology perspective. We address this gap by reviewing current social issues related to human breastfeeding and weaning in an evolutionary framework. This approach helps build a conceptual framework with the goal of better understanding ultimate causes of or influences on these current social issues. The six social issues reviewed here fall into three categories: the spatiotemporal constraints of breastfeeding, abuse of breast milk as valuable material, and mismatch in breastfeeding practices. Some of these issues have an evolutionary basis. We analyze the structure of these social issues and discuss their possible solutions in terms of extension of the trade‐off theory in evolutionary biology. Our discussion on the current social issues in breastfeeding and weaning highlights the effectiveness of an approach rooted in evolutionary theory and biological anthropology.
