Using the findings of a small scale qualitative investigation based on in depth interviews with mothers attending a tertiatry paediatric referral centre in london, this paper explores professional and parental discourses in relation to gastrostomy tube feeding and disabled children. Detailed accounts are given of women's struggles to negotiate their identities and those of their children, within dominant discourses of mothering and child centredness. Constructions of feeding practices as coercive conflict with normative expectations of good mothering and the idealised autonomous child. Although notions of stigmatised identities featured in women's accounts of feeding children, both orally and by tube, stigma fails to explain why mothers are rendered culpable within expert discourses. Prevailing theories of stigme and coping are interrrogated and judged to be more descriptive than explanatory. Felt stigma is posited as an aspect of governmentality.
