On September 5, 1909 the Washington Post ran a story entitled “Canned Mothers’ Milk,” (Figure 1). The newspaper discussion was short but nonetheless points to important details regarding the origins of what would be called—albeit much later (after World War Two)—human milk banking (HMB; Cassidy, 2009; Cassidy & Dykes, 2019). This is a history that considers the sociocultural importance of fame among physicians and scientists, but also fame associated with places, and how this celebrity relates to the control of lactation issues. It is also a story about links to the expansion of the first infant bovine food industry (most often cows’ milk, but not always), which is intimately tied to the expansion of scientific knowledge in the field of nutrition and reproduction. Finally, it is also a story about the concerns and considerations regarding the commercialization of infant foods, and, in particular, controlling—and often concealing—people who lactate.

历史研究：不仅仅是牛奶：母乳储存社会关系的起源


1909 年 9 月 5 日，《华盛顿邮报》刊登了一篇题为“罐装母乳”的报道（图 1 ）。报纸上的讨论很简短，但仍然指出了有关母乳银行起源的重要细节（尽管是在很久以后（第二次世界大战后））（HMB；Cassidy，2009；Cassidy & Dykes，2019）。这段历史不仅考虑了医生和科学家中名声的社会文化重要性，还考虑了与地方相关的名声，以及名人与哺乳问题控制的关系。这也是一个关于第一个婴儿牛食品工业（最常见的是牛奶，但并非总是）扩张的故事，它与营养和生殖领域科学知识的扩张密切相关。最后，这也是一个关于婴儿食品商业化的担忧和考虑的故事，特别是控制（通常是隐瞒）哺乳期的人。
