Book cover for A Judgement-Free Guide to Feeding Your Baby: Boob, bottle and all
However, despite its many benefits, which we’ll explore throughout the book, I don’t actually feel that breastfeeding is the right thing for every family. It can be a very complicated and unique decision.

“We know being a parent means getting a lot of advice, but this advice is almost never accompanied by an explanation of why something is true or not, or to what degree we can even know it’s true. And by not explaining why, we remove people’s ability to think about these choices for themselves, with their own preferences playing a role. Parents are people, too, and they deserve better.”
Emily Oster, Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool

“I cannot stress this enough: there truly is no right or wrong way to care for your baby; there are simply easier and more difficult ways, both for now and in the longer-term. Remember you and your partner are the parents, not other family members or friends or even professionals who work with babies.”
Dorothy Waide, Simply Parenting: From 12 Weeks to 12 Months

“For some women, breastfeeding makes them feel empowered and happy. It’s convenient to have a ready food source anywhere they go, and they find nursing their baby to be a peaceful and relaxing time. That’s great! For others, breastfeeding makes them feel like a cow. They hate lugging the breast pump around if they have to pump. It’s hard to tell if the baby even likes to nurse or is getting enough food. Their nipples hurt, and the experience basically sucks.”

“Perhaps because of this total uncertainty about what’s going on (which, luckily, mostly lessens with later children), small concerns can totally take over. You are very tired, and you are now facing a challenge unlike any you have ever known. So cut yourself some slack if things get a little absurd.”
Emily Oster, Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool

“It’s that the NIST databases foreshadow the emergence of a logic that has now thoroughly pervaded the tech sector: the unswerving belief that everything is data and is there for the taking. It doesn’t matter where a photograph was taken or whether it reflects a moment of vulnerability or pain or if it represents a form of shaming the subject. It has become so normalized across the industry to take and use whatever is available that few stop to question the underlying politics.”
Kate Crawford, Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence
