Breastfeeding, internet, and power relations

In one of this issue's article, Natália Fazzioni and Kátia Lerner 1 relate breastfeeding, motherhood, and the internet in Brazil by using the digital platform called Baby Center as a research field, specifically the discussions about breastfeeding in the Community section in which users post and answer questions.The text discusses how the experience of breastfeeding is crossed by information available online and also by the digital interactions between mothers.Among the contributions of Fazzioni and Lerner's 1 article, I highlight the three main ones in my opinion: taking a communication and anthropological perspective on breastfeeding, unlike most studies that mainly start from the medical and public health perspective; performing the methodological gesture of listening to women who experienced dilemmas related to breastfeeding and who used the Internet as a source of information and interaction with other mothers; unveiling tensions and power relations that surround breastfeeding and, consequently, motherhood today.I will focus on the last two topics, seeking to reflect on the propositions of the text and add complementary perspectives.It is worth mentioning that I interact with the article from the position I occupy as a feminist researcher, mother, and woman from the Amazon region
