Well, if the "Hastrup, 1992" cited is in fact Kirsten Hastrup, then that's a legit sources... she's a well-known anthropologist/historian of Iceland.

However, I don't really see how the breastfeeding bit is connected to the freebirthing thing... women choose to breastfeed or not breastfeed for all kinds of different reasons, and many of them don't even have a choice (my aunt had to use a pump to feed her son, because it wasn't working otherwise). I don't see the connection.
