Fiona Giles gives a provocative commentary

on breastfeeding, quite different to the many

texts on the subject. She provides a level of

intimacy and vitality in this new book that is

informative, affecting, and unexpectedly erotic:

 a truly unique work written as a homage to the

 miracle of the lactating breast - a phenomenon

 rarely explored outside of educational literature

 and parenting magazines.

In Fresh Milk, through a diverse collection of

stories, memories, and personal accounts,

Giles uncovers the myths, truths, and social

and psychological implications of breastfeeding.
From the younger mother grappling with the

 bewildering trappings of maternity wear, to

the woman who finds herself curiously aroused

by new sensations, to the modern dad who

learns the ins and outs of breastfeeding, the

portraits in Giles' eye-opening book offer a

 welcome alternative to tutorials and step-by-step guides.
