Moms cautioned against overreacting to vitamin D supplement report

"When Dr. Benjamin Spock was the mother's baby guru in the 1950s, she dutifully followed his recommendation to take baby outside for a few minutes every day to get some sun.
This was, of course, before global warming, ozone holes and sunscreen, but this sunbath wasn't about tanning or burning, but about getting a little dose of vitamin D, necessary for the development of strong bones.
Mothers' milk provided the rest of babies nutritional requirements. Now, a report issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics undermines breast milk as "the perfect food," by recommending that infants receive a vitamin D supplement, say lactation experts.
Breast milk fulfills babies complete nutritional requirements, said Rachel Ochoa, a lactation educator at Stockton's Delta Health Care WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program. Everything that contradicts this "hurts those who are beginners and have fears as it is," she added...."

ISLAMABAD, April 16 (Online): Bottle-fed babies may need higher doses of certain medications than those who are breast-fed because formula causes their bodies to metabolize the drugs more quickly, Canadian researchers report.
Doctors have observed that formula-fed premature infants who are given oral caffeine to treat a condition known as neonatal apnea have consistently lower blood concentrations of the drug than breast-fed babies. Apnea causes the infants to stop breathing for short periods; caffeine, a stimulant, helps regulate respiration.
In search of an explanation for the difference, the researchers compared the effects of breast milk and two brands of canned liquid baby formula derived from cow's milk on human liver cells in the lab. The liver metabolizes medicines.

The incidence of a pre-diabetic condition in adolescence has been linked to a nutrient-enriched diet often given to premature babies, according to UK researchers. This nutrient-enriched diet is designed to boost premature babies and enable them to catch up to their full term peers.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Programs that encourage women in developing countries to feed their babies only breast milk for the first six months can lead to reduced rates of diarrhea among infants, a new study shows.
Rates of diarrhea were reduced by about one third in babies who were three months old when mothers fed only breast milk, according to the study published in the medical journal The Lancet.
An expert unaffiliated with the study said she was not surprised that the infants fed only breast milk were healthier.

African woman breastfeeding
Better education could cut deaths
Afua's first baby died from diarrhoea.
She did not know breastfeeding would reduce the chances of her baby getting sick, or how to use the rehydration tablets that would have saved her.
But by the time her second baby was born in Bawjisase in Ghana, she was in a special breastfeeding programme and her baby boy thrived.

"The breastfeeding coalition here hopes to make the Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital one of only three hospitals in Canada to receive the Baby Friendly distinction.
Becoming Baby Friendly is not something that happens overnight, said Sylvia Patey, a registered nurse, midwife and lactation specialist.
Patey has been working with public health nurses, dentists, resource mothers, pediatricians and doctors to help increase the awareness of breastfeeding in this region for many years.

Vitamins for breastfeeding HIV positive mums boost babies

"The latest report from a Tanzanian study on giving vitamin supplements to breastfeeding women has found that providing multivitamins (B, C and E) to the women raised CD4 counts in their babies, regardless of HIV status, reducing the babies’ risk of diarrhoeal disease. The findings are published in the latest edition of Clinical Infectious Diseases
Previous reports of the same study found that providing vitamins B, C and E to these mothers significantly reduced both HIV transmission to the babies and mortality in the first two years of life, when the mothers’ immunological or nutritional status was poor. In contrast, providing vitamin A to the mothers appeared to increase HIV transmission rates and was therefore discontinued, although it now seems it reduced the risk of pneumonia among the babies whose mothers were given vitamin A. ..."

As office chief for the state health lab's newborn screening program, the 33-year-old first-time mom brought her son Sean to work three days a week so she could nurse him at the office until recently.
She got so good at it that she could read paperwork and type on her computer while he ate. She even discreetly nursed him at staff meetings.
"The first week was a little stressful," she said. "I didn't want him to cry - ever. Not even make a sound."
But over time, she relaxed and her baby turned into a morale booster for the staff, she said.
"Babies just seem to cheer everyone up," Scranton added.

Effect of dummies and cupfeeding on breastfeeding Effect of dummies and cupfeeding on breastfeeding

Cupfeeding has no advantages over bottle feeding (REF: Pediatrics)
US researchers, writing in Pediatrics, report the results of a randomised trial which investigated the effect of both dummy (pacifier) use and supplemental formula feeding by cup or bottle on the duration of breastfeeding. They found that supplemental feeding, regardless of whether given by cup or bottle, had a detrimental effect on the length of breastfeeding.

Fresh Milk:The Secret Life of Breasts, By Fiona Giles, Allen & Unwin , 268 pp, $24.95
There can be few processes so intrinsic to the feminine psyche that have been so publicly ignored as breastfeeding. Yet no other part of the female anatomy has received as much attention, nor been so celebrated, scrutinised, reviled and eulogised as the breast. It is from this glaring contradiction that Fiona Giles's eclectic collection of oral history, biography and poetry draws its compass. A scholar and feminist, she has sought to straddle the gap between academic works and popular appeal.
