  • 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.

  • OVERVIEW of Breastfeeding Promotion
    Updated 3/2021 Breastfeeding Promotion By promoting healthy lifestyles and nutrition choices your work in the WIC Program will make a difference in the lives of many mothers and children. After pregnancy, breastfeeding is an important next step toward a healthy infant. Breastfeeding also contributes to development of the brain and has lifelong health and developmental benefits. The information in this module provides a start to learning about breastfeeding and how we can help more mothers and babies breastfeed. There are many opportunities for additional learning. Talk to your WIC coordinator to find out about them. Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • Explain the reasons WIC promotes and supports breastfeeding • State WIC’s role and WIC staff roles in breastfeeding promotion and support • Explain the health risks of not breastfeeding. • Explain the importance of exclusive or full breastfeeding. • State the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for breastfeeding. • Use positive breastfeeding messages when talking with participants. Overview Breastfeeding is the natural way to feed a baby and the healthiest feeding choice for both the mother and the baby. AAP considers breastfeeding the foundation of good feeding practices. Breast milk is the intended food for a baby. Not breastfeeding has potential negative consequences for the baby, the mother, and society. Why Breastfeed? Simply put, breastfeeding is nothing more than normal. Mother’s milk is made specifically to meet infants’ nutritional needs, and it changes as her baby grows to 1 HEADER REPEATS FROM PAGE 2 ONWARD meet the baby’s changing nutritional needs. Human milk has over 1000 components – most of these are not available in any other infant feeding.

  • CRUELTY of BREAST IS BEST (Not Enough) GOOD TRAINING
    Global Strategy For Infant And Young Child Feeding No more than 35% of infants worldwide are exclusively breastfed during the first four months of life; complementary feeding frequently begins too early or too late, and foods are often nutritionally inadequate and unsafe. Malnourished children who survive are more frequently sick and suffer the life-long consequences of impaired development. Rising incidences of overweight and obesity in children are also a matter of serious concern. Because poor feeding practices are a major threat to social and economic development, they are among the most serious obstacles to attaining and maintaining health that face this age group. Exclusive breastfeeding is when a baby is only fed breast milk and is not fed other liquids or solids. Summary of Current Breastfeeding Rates for Canada 2011/2012: Initiation = 89% Exclusive Breastfeeding for 4 months = 50% + Exclusive Breastfeeding at 6 months = 26% Trends: • 89%, breastfed their baby in 2011/2012, 85% in 2003. Canada’s rate was higher than that of the United States, 77%, but lower than the rate in Norway, 95%, and Australia, 92%. • Exclusive Breastfeeding for 6 months + increased to 26% in 2011–2012, compared with 17% in 2003. Over half of mothers breastfed exclusively for four months (or more); up from 42% in 2003 (see graph below) http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/82-624-x/2013001/article/11879/c-g/c-g-01- eng.htm • The most common reasons cited for stopping breastfeeding before six months were “not enough breast milk” and “difficulty with breastfeeding technique” in 2011– 2012.
