No one said ‘me too.’ —Sue MacPhail, Surrey When no depression came after three months, we all thought I was in the clear. So it surprised me that I went into a moderate depression at six months. It was different than my past episodes: more guilt, more grief, more inadequacy. And bad days peppered with some normal days so you think you’re coming out of it (I’ve since learned that’s a glossary common feature of postpartum depression). My episode only lasted a few weeks because I got help right away.

  • The Key to Increasing Breastfeeding Duration: Empowering the Healthcare Team
    The Key to Increasing Breastfeeding Duration: Empowering the Healthcare Team By Kathryn A. Spiegel A Master’s Paper submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health in the Public Health Leadership Program. Chapel Hill 2009 ___________________________ Advisor signature/printed name ________________________________ Second Reader Signature/printed name ________________________________ Date The Key to Increasing Breastfeeding Duration 2 Abstract Experts and scientists agree that human milk is the best nutrition for human babies, but are healthcare professionals (HCPs) seizing the opportunity to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding? Not only are HCPs influential to the breastfeeding dyad, they hold a responsibility to perform evidence-based interventions to lengthen the duration of breastfeeding due to the extensive health benefits for mother and baby. This paper examines current HCPs‘ education, practices, attitudes, and extraneous factors to surface any potential contributing factors that shed light on necessary actions. Recommendations to empower HCPs to provide consistent, evidence-based care for the breastfeeding dyad include: standardized curriculum in medical/nursing school, continued education for maternity and non-maternity settings, emphasis on skin-to-skin, enforcement of evidence-based policies, implementation of ‗Baby-Friendly USA‘ interventions, and development of peer support networks. Requisite resources such as lactation consultants as well as appropriate medication and breastfeeding clinical management references aid HCPs in providing best practices to increase breastfeeding duration.

  • Why Babies Should Never Sleep Alone: a Review of the Co-Sleeping Controversy in Relation to SIDS, Bedsharing and Breast Feeding
    PAEDIATRIC RESPIRATORY REVIEWS (2005) 6, 134–152 REVIEW Why babies should never sleep alone: A review of the co-sleeping controversy in relation to SIDS, bedsharing and breast feeding James J. McKenna* and Thomas McDade University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, IN 46556, USA KEYWORDS Summary There has been much controversy over whether infants should co-sleep or co-sleeping; bedshare with an adult caregiver and over whether such practises increase the risk of bedsharing; SIDS or fatal accident. However, despite opposition from medical authorities or the SIDS; police, many western parents are increasingly adopting night-time infant caregiving breast feeding; patterns that include some co-sleeping, especially by those mothers who choose to mother–infant breast feed. This review will show that the relationships between infant sleep patterns, relationship infant sleeping arrangements and development both in the short and long term, whether having positive or negative outcomes, is anything but simple and the traditional habit of labelling one sleeping arrangement as being superior to another without an awareness of family, social and ethnic context is not only wrong but possibly harmful. We will show that there are many good reasons to insist that the definitions of different types of co-sleeping and bedsharing be recognised and distinguished. We will examine the conceptual issues related to the biological functions of mother–infant co-sleeping, bedsharing and what relationship each has to SIDS. At very least, we hope that the studies and data described in this paper, which show that co-sleeping at least in the form of roomsharing especially with an actively breast feeding mother saves lives, is a powerful reason why the simplistic, scientifically inaccurate and misleading statement ‘never sleep with your baby’ needs to be rescinded, wherever and whenever it is published.

  • Infant Sleep Patterns Whānau Around Best Practice Infant Care
    Horiana Jones, Carol Cornsweet Barber, Linda Waimarie Nikora, et al. Māori child rearing and infant sleep practices Horiana Jones1, Carol Cornsweet Barber1, Linda Waimarie Nikora1 and Wendy Middlemiss2 1University of Waikato, New Zealand and 2University of North Texas, United States of America Sleep is important to a healthy lifestyle for parents and children, and having effective ways of putting a child to sleep contributes significantly to mental and physical wellbeing. Cultural groups around the world have developed a variety of approaches to this task, for example, rocking, co-sleeping, bed-sharing, breastfeeding to sleep, and encouraging infants to self soothe through various methods of infant sleep training. In New Zealand the continuation of traditional Māori approaches to infant sleep, e.g. co-sleeping, bed-sharing, responsivity to infant cues have been over-shadowed by its negative association with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and dependence on parent interaction when initiating infant sleep. In this study, we were interested in the approaches Māori parents used to put their pēpi (child, 2 months-2 years of age) to sleep and the various factors that have influenced these approaches. Data were collected through online surveys (n =58) and face-to-face interviews (n =10) with Māori parents. Survey results indicated that being held and breast or bottle fed to sleep were the most practiced techniques by Māori parents. Parent assisted approaches, e.g., rocking, feeding, lying with baby until they go to sleep, were the most practiced. Many parents planned for their babies to sleep separately but very few actually persisted with self-soothing approaches due to a number of factors, such as discomfort with listening to their babies cry, culture, whānau (extended families) influences safety, and convenience.

Casey Loughran Zandona Responding to Infant Sleep-Related Crying: A Theoretical Exploration of Caregiver Response from Attachment and Object Relations Perspectives ABSTRACT How to respond to infant sleep-related crying is a ripe debate in much of the current parenting literature. This theoretical thesis explores how certain caregiver responses affect infants’ psychological development. Particular attention is paid to the popular sleep-training technique—letting a baby “Cry It Out”—as there is an alarming lack of consideration within empirical and theoretical literature of the psychological impact of this parenting strategy on an infant. This thesis begins with an overview of current empirical research on infant sleep and crying behavior, and proceeds to include an in-depth look at attachment and object relations (mostly Winnicottian) theories, specifically in respect to how caregiver and infant negotiate sleep, infant crying, the process of separation, and the intrapsychic development of self and other.
