Notes

1 According to Crush (1995), the development industry is the constellation and intersection of a variety of institutions, material practices and discourses of development, humanitarianism and foreign aid.

2 This argument can be seen as a precursor to current debates over women’s rights versus fetal or infant rights when considering mandated breastfeeding.

3 See, for example, “Breastfeeding Makes Kids Smarter” (2008).

5 See Wolf (2010) on the tracking of pregnancies and the development of “infant mortality” and “perinatal period” as medical phenomena.

6 As Wolf (2010) elucidates, “at the core of the ‘breast is best’ message is the notion that breastfeeding – the substantive properties of breast milk, the interaction between breastfeeding mom and baby, or some combination of the two – is medically superior to bottle feeding for babies. That is, breastfed babies are physically, cognitively, and emotionally healthier than their bottle-fed counterparts” (21).
