Far less research has come from sociologists and rarely has it examined potential costs of breastfeeding for some women. After struggling to juggle breastfeeding and working, the author began researching the socio-economic implications of infant feeding for women's lives. Using linear growth models with the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in the United States to assess whether there are differences in the trajectories of women's earnings over time depending on whether the women breastfed for a long duration, a short duration or not at all.
