"Support Crucial for Breastfeeding Mom
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- New research adds to the growing body of literature that suggests support and encouragement from health care providers is needed to keep women breastfeeding for a longer time.
The current breastfeeding rates fall short of the goals set in the Healthy People 2010 and other national recommendations. Currently, 29 percent of moms are still breastfeeding when their infant is 6 months old. The goal is to raise that number to 50 percent. Researchers from Harvard Pediatric Health Services Research Fellowship Program conducted a study to determine why women decide to stop breastfeeding before their infant is 12 weeks old."

Link between BP and diet in babyhood?
Further evidence that nutrition in the early months of life may affect blood pressure (BP) measurements in adulthood has been published by researchers from the UK.
Richard Martin and his team, from the Universities of Bristol and Wales, followed-up participants in the Barry Caerphilly Growth Study, born in the years 1972 to 1974, who were currently in their twenties. As babies, half had been given extra supplements of dried formula milk (based on cows' milk), while the other half had breastfed or formula fed according to their mothers' preference. In the early 1970s, breastfeeding was not fashionable and large numbers of babies were formula fed. "

Mother sues Wal-Mart over infant formula
Eric Durr
The Business Review
A Clifton Park woman is suing Wal-Mart for $12 million, alleging that the pharmacy at the company's Half Moon store misfilled a doctor's prescription for special infant formula, defrauding the government and endangering the health of her children.
The lawsuit, filed June 16 in Supreme Court in Saratoga County, is seeking personal injury and punitive damages from the nation's largest retailer, said Charlene Fallon, a partner in the Albany, N.Y., and Glens Falls firm Linnan & Fallon LLP, which filed the suit.
Wal-Mart representatives had no immediate comment on the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, Lisa Coons, the mother of prematurely born twins Hunter Coons and Chloe Coons, was directed by her doctor to obtain a special infant formula for the children -- Infamil Premature Iron Fortified with LIPIL. She was given a voucher from the Women Infants and Children nutrition program (WIC) to pay for the formula."

Toronto -- What has Andr? Picard got against breast-feeding? It seems that I have never seen an article of his that mentions breast-feeding in a good light. Today's article (Girls Urged To Limit Dioxin-Laced Foods -- July 3), mentions at least three times how much dioxin is in breast milk, with the implication that breast milk is dangerous. He never even mentions the usual 'but breastfeeding is still best for babies and young children.' It is, Mr. Picard."

PM - New blueprint for healthy eating
ABC Radio
"MARK COLVIN: For something so basic to our lives, the whole question of food and diet is becoming increasingly baffling for modern Australians. Today a peak health body tries to simplify it for us with a new blueprint for healthy eating. It's the first update of official dietary guidelines in a decade.
The National Health and Medical Research Council, which prepared the guidelines, says that for babies, breast is best for the first six months of a child's life. And the problem of obesity, even in children, has led it to call for low-fat dairy products, for everyone, including children as young as two.
Annie White reports.
ANNIE WHITE: First there was the pyramid, then the plate, and now a jigsaw puzzle metaphor to explain what the country's leading health and nutrition experts believe we should be eating. The puzzle is made up of guidelines for things like salt, fat and sugar intake.
But to start at the beginning, the NHMRC is now recommending breast milk be the only food for the fist six months of life.
Nutritionist and Chair of the working party which devised the guidelines, Dr Katrine Baghurst.
KATRINE BAGHURST: It's the same with all the guidelines, they are public health guidelines, but then it's up to the individual to work out how they can best achieve those or what they can do. So we do say, if you can't manage it, then for as long and exclusively as you can, is better than not attempting it at all.
ANNIE WHITE: Having knocked back a national paid maternity leave scheme, the Government still supports mothers breast feeding for as much of the first 6 months as they can manage.
Health Minister, Kay Patterson.
KAY PATTERSON: I think what we've got is the very best that one can do and it is difficult if somebody is working, but people sometimes manage expression of milk, they also....I think it's important that they don't feel guilty. But what these guidelines are doing is saying what is really the absolute best practice...."

Got milk? Then Berkeley wants you to join the battle of the breastfeeders

BERKELEY -- In a matter of weeks, more than1,000 fierce female competitors, chapped sore from months of rigorous training, will engage in a battle to retain Berkeley's world-record status in an event so fulfilling, so titillating, so overrun with babies that if Dr. Spock were still alive this would probably kill him.
Indeed, it is time once again for the breastfeeding marathon, which last year drew a whopping 1,130 lactating ladies and their wee ones to the Berkeley Community Theater auditorium, putting Berkeley in the Guinness Book of World Records."

Mothers can now donate surplus breast milk to the Coun-tess of Chester Hospital's specialist baby unit where it will be used to bottle feed to newborns on the ward.
It is hoped the milk, which is easier for tiny stomachs to absorb than the diary formula version, will boost the growth of babies who are born early.
