  • 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.

  • Bleb Protocol
    Milk Blisters/Blebs A nipple bleb, sometimes referred to as milk blister, is a raised white or yellow spot that forms anywhere on the surface of the nipple. A bleb is formed when milk stagnates and clogs inside the milk duct just behind the nipple pore on the surface of the nipple. This is often due to a suboptimal latch. Sometimes a bleb is associated with a blocked duct somewhere in the breast. If the bleb is not causing any pain, generally it should be left alone. If the bleb is painful, or if you have a bleb along with a blocked duct, the following strategies will help to release and resolve the bleb. For more information about blocked ducts, see the www.ibconline.ca. Sometimes a blister filled with clear fluid will form on the nipple this is usually due to a suboptimal latch. If you have a blister, but not a bleb, follow the directions in #4 (below) to help it resolve. 1. Apply the All Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO) sparingly after each feeding. APNO with ibuprofen powder mixed in can help to further ease the pain associated with nipple blebs. 2. Apply a warm, wet compress (like a washcloth soaked in clear, warm water) to the nipple before nursing your baby. Keep the compress as warm as you can tolerate without burning the skin. Massage the nipple with coconut oil to try to remove the skin surrounding the blocked pore and then, if possible, nurse your baby. There is no need to remove the coconut o s causing baby to slip while trying to latch.

  • Improving Delayed Lactogenesis and Suppressed Lactation in At-Risk Mothers
    Improving Delayed Lactogenesis and Suppressed Lactation in At-Risk Mothers Jean Rucks Rhodes, PhD, CNM, IBCLC High breastfeeding initiation rates show that most mothers in the U.S. want to breastfeed and are trying to do so. However, low breastfeeding rates among infants who are six and 12 months of age indicate that many mothers do not continue breastfeeding as recommended. These rates suggest that mothers, in part, may not be getting the support they need, such as from healthcare provid- ers, family members, and employers.... The early postpartum period is a critical time for establishing and supporting breastfeeding.

  • Overcoming Difficulties (PDF)
    Breastfeeding Overcoming Difficulties ® Only a phone call away! See your local telephone directory Breastfeeding is a gift only you can give to your baby. A healthy full-term baby is likely to know instinctively what to do at the breast. For many mothers and babies breastfeeding goes well right from the start, for others it can take a little longer to learn. Common problems can be minimized or avoided entirely if a mother has accurate and consistent breastfeeding information and support. “Breastfeeding is a long term commitment. In order to succeed, a mother needs the encouragement and companionship of other mothers. La Leche League succeeded in the beginning and continues to work well because it meets the dual need for sound practical information and loving support. Babies don’t change and neither do mothers, though the circumstances in which they find themselves differ from one generation to the next.” Mary Ann Cahill, Founder LLL Sore Nipples Many mothers experience some nipple tenderness at the beginning of a feed during the first two to three days of breastfeeding, however, breastfeeding should not hurt. If you have continued discomfort or pain while breastfeeding or have discomfort or pain between breastfeeds, some adjustment or treatment may be needed. Research shows that good positioning of the baby at the breast will help prevent and heal sore nipples. Positioning Baby at the Breast There are a number of ways to hold your baby while breastfeeding. Getting your baby started at the breast smoothly and easily will soon become second nature to you. Nursing a baby at the breast is actually much less involved than any description of the process.
