Breastfeeding in public
“Breastfeeding in Public”, a new series of articles from the International Breastfeeding Journal, aims to highlight the issues surrounding breastfeeding in public throughout the world. The series has been guest-edited by Petra Bueskens of the University of Melbourne, Sally Dowling of the University of the West of England and Fiona Giles of the University of Sydney. In a recent conversation, Fiona Giles explained the inspiration behind the series, and why it is important to discuss the topic. The transcript has been edited for clarity.

What is your background and how did you get involved in the field of breastfeeding?
I have a background in media and communications, with an interest in feminist theory. I’ve been particularly interested in representations of breastfeeding in western culture, and how this has changed throughout the period of breastfeeding advocacy ongoing since the 1980s.
