LLL Newsletter Nov Dec 05 LA LECHE LEAGUE OF DALLAS Breastfeeding Information and Support Happy Holidays? Coping with the Season By Barbara Wilson-Clay, Special Contributor, Austin, TX he winter holidays are here with all their bustle and excitement. It is a fun season, but it can also be stressful— Tespecially for women, who often feel responsible for orchestrating the events that make family celebrations special. When the holidays coincide with the birth of a baby, some new mothers quickly become overwhelmed. Fatigue and stress can make these mothers vulnerable to mastitis. The baby can be affected too. Over-stimulation Issue 16 and interrupted feedings can lead to a nursing strike. Breastfeeding hot lines have so many seasonal crisis calls that they have named the phenomenon "holiday weaning." Nov/Dec 2005 Postpartum Versus the Holidays The early postpartum period is supposed to be restful. Mother and baby are advised to "nest" for about six weeks. Frequent nursing during this time stimulates the milk supply. All the cuddling helps the mother and baby get to know one another and to fall in love. Because newborns feed around the clock, experts recommend that tired new Inside this issue: moms nap whenever the baby sleeps.

Or perhaps you’d like a special gift for yourself? While a mother who is Ibreastfeeding is born with everything she needs to nurse her baby, it’s nice to show your support of her decision by choosing gifts that make breast- feeding easier and more fun. All of these gift suggestions are available online; check the websites for information on local distributors and retail outlets. And for more gift ideas, check out the LLLI online catalog at www.lalecheleague.org. Books and Videos Since information helps mothers get off to a smooth start, books and videos about breastfeeding are terrific choices. Good bets for great information are the classic guides: The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (7th Revised edition, La Leche League International, 2004, $17) and The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers by Jack Newman, M.D. (Prima Lifestyles, 2000, $19.95). For a more lighthearted read, So That's What They're For!: The Definitive Breastfeeding Guide by Janet Tamaro (3rd edition, Adams Media Corporation, 2005, $12.95), has been updated to include the latest in breastfeeding research. Packed with humorous anecdotes, this book proves that breastfeeding advice does not have to be boring! Many new moms find reading difficult with a new baby, but discover that watching videos while nursing fits right into their schedule. The Real Deal, a new 25 minute video about breastfeeding, provides advice, insight and inspiration for nursing success - complete with a group “chat session” of real breastfeeding moms sharing their stories (www.realdealvideos.com/, $19.95 VHS, $22.95 DVD). And add the Mother of 7: Birth and Breastfeeding Videos to your list to start the New Year. Scheduled for release in January 2006, this series of videos by Stephanie Neurohr, a Dallas-based filmmaker and mother of seven breastfed children (including twins and a baby with special needs), includes interviews and advice from experts around the world as well as profiles of women who have successfully breastfed their children –even in challenging situations (www.motherof7.com/, $29.95 to $79.95). Nursing Pillows and Supports Breastfeeding succeeds when a new mom gets the moral support she needs from those around her, but it’s also critical that she receives physical support and is comfortable. A well-designed nursing pillow is a welcome addition to the nursery, as it positions the baby properly and supports mom’s back, arms, and elbows. Some models can double as a back support for the baby as she learns to sit up. There are many different nursing pillows available: some of the most popular are The Boppy (a U-shaped washable pillow, available in many different fabrics and several styles, priced from around $20: www.boppy.com/) and My Brest Friend (a wrap-around pillow that secures to your body with a latching belt: www.mybrestfriend.com/, $40). But why not try something a little different? Little Beam (www.littlebeam.com/, $40) is a unique breast- feeding pillow designed by a board-certified lactation consultant. The small firm pillow rests on your lap, so it fits women of all shapes and allows (Continued on page 3) Issue 16 Page 3 Gifts (continued from page 2) children of different sizes proper orientation at the breast. It is particularly useful after a C-section (no pressure on the incision) and for tandem nursing.

  • Nursing Strike
    Nursing Strike When a baby who has been nursing happily for some length of time suddenly refuses to latch and feed at the breast, we call it a nursing strike. It can be very upsetting for both a mother and her baby. Nursing strikes happen for many reasons, and we often do not know exactly why. Often it seems as though a baby is trying to communicate Community some form of stress. It is unlikely that your baby is ready to wean, especially if your Breastfeeding baby is less than a year old. Center A nursing strike can last several hours, or several days.

  • 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.

J.D., magna cum laude, University of Minnesota Law School, B.A., magna cum laude, Macalester Col- lege. Special thanks to Professor Jill Hasday for her helpful comments on earlier drafts of this article, and to Baxter and Kiernan, without whom this article would not be possible. 1 There appears to be no standardized spelling for the act of breastfeeding, at least in legal opinions. Various court decisions use "breast feeding." "breastfeeding" or "breast-feeding." Additionally, medical experts do not seem to differentiate between the giving of breast milk to an infant via the breast or via pumping expressed milk. This Comment will use the term "breastfeeding," in accordance with the spelling chosen by La Leche League International ("LLLI"), and uses it to refer to both traditional nursing and the feeding of expressed breast milk. See, e.g. LA LECHE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL, All About La Leche League, http://www.lli.org/ab.html?m=1 (last updated Apr. 26, 2010). This Comment also uses the terms "nursing" and "breastfeeding" largely interchangeably, though "nursing" seems to be more typically used to describe the act of feeding an infant from the breast itself. For a dis- cussion of the potential inappropriateness of using the terms interchangeably in the legal context, see infra note 87 and accompanying text.

  • La Leche League International Applauds American Academy of Pediatric’S Updated Infant Sleep Policy
    For Immediate Release Media Inquiries: Diana West, Director of Media Relations La Leche League International [email protected] | 908-400-1820 llli.org/about_us/press/press.html LA LECHE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL APPLAUDS AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRIC’S UPDATED INFANT SLEEP POLICY RALEIGH, North Carolina (January 10, 2017) ― The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and La Leche League International (LLLI) both have long histories of providing research- based information to breastfeeding mothers and their families ― the AAP through its guidelines and recommendations, and LLLI through mother-to-mother support and publications. The AAP’s revised policy statement, “SIDS and Other Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Updated 2016 Recommendations for a Safe Infant Sleeping Environment,” is its latest update on safe infant sleep, reinforcing many earlier recommendations, adjusting others in light of new information, and bringing the two organizations into closer alignment. The 2016 AAP update renews its emphasis on keeping the baby in the parents’ room at night for at least the first six months. LLLI agrees that it is an important reminder to new parents that even a carefully-prepared nursery poses a risk to young babies who rely on responsive adults for their safety and wellbeing. The revised policy states more clearly that their recommendation against bedsharing is for infants younger than four months, which is an important clarification often missed by parents and healthcare providers. LLLI particularly applauds the AAP for recognizing the need for a safe place for drowsy nighttime breastfeeding sessions since hormones released during breastfeeding can make a mother sleepy: “Evidence suggests that it is less hazardous to fall asleep with the infant in the adult bed than on a sofa or armchair, should the parent fall asleep.” The new AAP guideline protects both babies and breastfeeding.
