Abstract

This study explores barriers to mobility and freedom of mums who would like to breastfeed in the public domain. Desk based and ethnographic interviews have been used to extend and discuss conceptual design provocations through an analysis of the relationships between breastfeeding behaviours, acculturation, embodiment, and social identities. This has implications for practice, policy and design. Future designs should recognise and address the complex needs of mothers, especially marginalised mothers, who are more likely to disappear from public spaces in order to avoid breastfeeding in public. As such their mobility, health and wellbeing, and that of their children may be effected at a time when they need additional support and consideration.
