Resumen

La promoción de la lactancia materna se centra en los beneficios para la salud de los lactantes y sus madres. Este modelo ha sido tachado por algunas críticas feministas de paternalista y culpabilizador para las madres que no logran amamantar o prefieren no hacerlo. En el presente artículo se revisa el sentimiento de culpa en relación a la lactancia, así como los posibles factores que lo promueven. Por último, se plantea un modelo feminista de apoyo a la lactancia que reconozca la complejidad de la experiencia del amamantamiento, así como informar de sus beneficios y las numerosas dificultades a las que tienen que hacer frente las madres. Se recomienda abordar la naturaleza sexual de la lactancia, revindicar el placer en el amamantamiento, cuidar la salud mental materna en el posparto, incluyendo a los padres, y promover políticas de apoyo a los cuidados de los bebés y sus madres desde el respeto absoluto y la formación independiente de los profesionales sanitarios son los objetivos de esta contribución.
