401* - Promoting Breastfeeding, Promoting Guilt -- Kathy Dettwyler
- A frank discussion of the problem of health care professionals saying they don't want to give mothers complete and accurate information about the risks of artificial infant formula because they are worried about making mothers feel guilty about not breastfeeding. Includes examples of how guilt is often used to promote healthy behaviors in health advertising, and seeks to understand who is really being "protected" from feeling guilty in the breastfeeding context. Ends with a discussion of the distinction between guilt and regret, and steps for moving beyond guilt. Please Note: This is a CERP session. We ask that attendance by children be limited to quiet infants in arms and nonseparating children who can sit quietly.
