In the 19th century infants were commonly breast-fed; yet by the middle of the 20th century, women typically bottle-fed their babies on the advice of their doctors. Rima D. Apple analyzes the complex interactions of science, medicine, economics, and culture that underlie this dramatic shift in infant-care practices.
