Which article are you evaluating?
Breastfeeding promotion

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because I believe that the experience of breastfeeding is not limited to the experiences of cis-women nor is it limited to the experience of the person who is pregnant and carrying the fetus. I hope to make investigate ways to make this article more inclusive of everyone's breastfeeding experiences.

Evaluate the article
I believe that the article has a primary bias in gendered language, likening to terms like woman and mother. I believe that terms like parent or pregnant person could be more inclusive without removing any accuracy. I think another thing that would be helpful to include is information about the benefits and cons that are associated with having a parent who did not carry the fetus breastfeed. The article also evaluates the emotional support and overcoming of stigma that is required in order to properly encourage breastfeeding. I feel that this article could broaden and include experiences of other people who breastfeed and discuss the stigmas they face that could be specific to their identity, particularly parents who are in a same-sex relationship with their co-parent or do not identify as a cis-woman. I also wonder if it would be worth exploring the question of insurance coverage for lactation consultants or the standard price for viewers of the article to see? I would also like to explore rates of breastfeeding amongst LGBTQ+ families.
