Abstract
ABSTRACTWhat if objects had an active role in shaping our health behaviors? Using my experience breastfeeding my baby, I explore this question through a journey from strict adherence to standard biomedical advice for safe infant sleep to heading the urgings of my body, specifically that of breastmilk, which I come to see as playing an agentic role in my practice of “breastsleeping.” I come to see a need for new systems of inquiry that allow dialogue with objects to meaningfully include their “voice” in hopes of arriving at a more complete understanding of health.
