This paper adds to critical studies of risk and mothering by illustrating and conceptualising how risk is constructed in public health advice and mothers’ accounts of weaning. Previous research points towards a gap between public health scientific definitions of risk and mothers’ contextual understandings and experience of handling complex and often conflicting risks linked to food and feeding. It has been suggested that public health discourse misses out on or even silences risks defined by women in their everyday care practices. Therefore, our aim is to conceptualise and map various co-existing constructions of risk and discuss how an awareness of the multiplicity of risk can inform public health advice that take mothers’ point of view into account. Using the concept ‘riskscape’, we explore and compare how public health and mothers’ constructions of risk diverge and overlap. Our findings illustrate how mothers belong to a community of practice where weaning is understood and practiced in relation to their everyday life and eating practices involving multiple concerns that are not addressed in public health advice, especially the wider food and information landscape. The study also indicate that this divergence can provoke feelings of insecurity and anxiety among mothers and make public health advice seem less relevant. In sum, our findings suggest a need for public health to acknowledge mothers’ experience of weaning as a compound practice similar to their own eating practices and to widen the present focus on risk as a domestic and individual responsibility.

公共卫生建议和母亲断奶过程中风险景象的构建和导航

本文通过说明和概念化如何在公共卫生建议和母亲的断奶说明中构建风险,从而增加了对风险和母亲的批判性研究。先前的研究指出,公共卫生风险的科学定义与母亲对处理与食物和喂养有关的复杂且经常相互冲突的风险的背景理解和经验之间存在差距。有人建议,公共卫生话语会忽略甚至消除妇女在日常护理实践中确定的风险。因此,我们的目的是概念化和绘制各种并存的风险结构,并讨论如何认识到风险的多重性如何为公众健康建议提供参考,这些建议应考虑到母亲的观点。使用“风险景观”概念,我们探索并比较了公共卫生和母亲在风险方面的结构如何分歧和重叠。我们的发现表明,母亲如何属于一个实践社区,在这个社区中,人们断奶是根据其日常生活和饮食习惯来进行的,而饮食习惯涉及到多个问题,而这些问题在公共卫生建议中并没有得到解决,尤其是在广泛的食品和信息领域。该研究还表明,这种分歧可能会激起母亲的不安全感和焦虑感,并使公共卫生建议显得不那么重要。总而言之,我们的研究结果表明,公共卫生需要承认母亲的断奶经历与他们自己的饮食习惯类似,是一种复合饮食,并扩大了目前对风险的关注,这是家庭责任和个人责任。我们的发现表明,母亲如何属于一个实践社区,在这个社区中,人们断奶是根据其日常生活和饮食习惯来进行的,而饮食习惯涉及到多个问题,而这些问题在公共卫生建议中并没有得到解决,尤其是在广泛的食品和信息领域。该研究还表明,这种分歧可能会激起母亲的不安全感和焦虑感,并使公共卫生建议显得不那么重要。总而言之,我们的研究结果表明,公共卫生需要承认母亲的断奶经历与他们自己的饮食习惯类似,是一种复合饮食,并扩大了目前对风险的关注,这是家庭责任和个人责任。我们的发现表明,母亲如何属于一个实践社区,在这个社区中,人们断奶是根据其日常生活和饮食习惯来进行的,而饮食习惯涉及到多个问题,而这些问题在公共卫生建议中并没有得到解决,尤其是在广泛的食品和信息领域。该研究还表明,这种分歧可能会激起母亲的不安全感和焦虑感,并使公共卫生建议显得不那么重要。总而言之,我们的研究结果表明,公共卫生需要承认母亲的断奶经历与他们自己的饮食习惯类似,是一种复合饮食,并扩大了目前对风险的关注,这是家庭责任和个人责任。
