At first, everything I found was somebody's opinion, presented as if it was a rule set in stone. I became interested in the history of child feeding, and that was helpful, mostly because it demonstrated that there was no real logic or reasoning behind infant feeding recommendations. The only consistency was in attitude: advisors about infant feeding were convinced that they were right and extremely plausible -- if poorly founded -- in their reasoning.
Not only does the preface provide historical information, it also provides names of researchers related to this topic. I look forward to reading the rest of the book.
