  • Breastfeeding — Best for Baby
    Breastfeeding — Best For Baby. Best For Mom. Whether you are a new or expecting Mom, if you are on this section of the web site, you're probably interested in giving your baby the best care you can. And one of the best things that only you can do is to breastfeed for as long as possible. While breastfeeding isn't the only option for feeding your baby, every mother has the potential to succeed and make it a wonderful experience. Or maybe you are the partner or a family member of a breastfeeding Mom and would like to learn more about breastfeeding. You've come to the right place! Here we provide practical, helpful breastfeeding information. Dive into our resources to find out how breastfeeding can be one of the most important things you do for both you and your baby! Why Should You Breastfeed Your Baby? Best for Baby A mother's milk has just the right amount of fat, sugar, water, and protein that is needed for a baby's growth and development. Most babies find it easier to digest breast milk than they do formula. Breast milk has agents (called antibodies) in it to help protect infants from bacteria and viruses and to help them fight off infection and disease. Human milk straight from the breast is always sterile. Best for Mom Breastfeeding saves times and money. You do not have to purchase, measure, and mix formula, and there are no bottles to warm in the middle of the night. Breastfeeding also helps a mother bond with her baby.

  • <H1>The Naturalist on the River Amazons By
    The Naturalist on the River Amazons by Henry Walter Bates The Naturalist on the River Amazons by Henry Walter Bates Scanned by Martin Adamson [email protected] The Naturalist on the River Amazons by Henry Walter Bates AN APPRECIATION BY CHARLES DARWIN Author of "The Origin of Species," etc. From Natural History Review, vol. iii. 1863. IN April, 1848, the author of the present volume left England in company with Mr. A. R. Wallace--"who has since acquired wide fame in connection with the Darwinian theory of Natural Selection"--on page 1 / 626 a joint expedition up the river Amazons, for the purpose of investigating the Natural History of the vast wood-region traversed by that mighty river and its numerous tributaries. Mr. Wallace returned to England after four years' stay, and was, we believe, unlucky enough to lose the greater part of his collections by the shipwreck of the vessel in which he had transmitted them to London. Mr. Bates prolonged his residence in the Amazon valley seven years after Mr. Wallace's departure, and did not revisit his native country again until 1859. Mr. Bates was also more fortunate than his companion in bringing his gathered treasures home to England in safety. So great, indeed, was the mass of specimens accumulated by Mr. Bates during his eleven years' researches, that upon the working out of his collection, which has been accomplished (or is now in course of being accomplished) by different scientific naturalists in this country, it has been ascertained that representatives of no less than 14,712 species are amongst them, of which about 8000 were previously unknown to science.

  • Protocol #4: Sore Nipples
    Protocol #4 Sore Nipples Protocol #4: Sore Nipples Sore nipples is one of the most common complaints of new mothers and one of the most frequent reasons that mothers stop breastfeeding sooner than intended (Riordan et al., 2010). Sore nipples may have one or more underlying causes that may be mother and/or baby related. The most common cause of sore nipples is the way the baby is positioned and latched. Observation and Assessment may tip her nipple so that the infant “strokes” the underside of the mother’s breast with its tongue. Assess the pain and appearance of the mother’s nipples: • Ineffective positioning of the baby. • Nipples feel sore, painful, burning and/or itchy. • Baby is not facing the mother’s breast and has to turn his head to swallow. • Nipples that appear to be abnormally pink or red, bruised, blistered, cracked, shiny, flaky and/or • Baby’s nose is not approaching the mother’s nipple bleeding. and the baby is unable to tilt his head back to latch instinctively. • Discharge from cracks or sores on the mother’s nipple. • Engorged breast (Protocol #5: Engorgement). • A white blister or “bleb” at the opening of one of • Flat or inverted nipples (Protocol #8: Flat or the ducts on the mother’s nipples (Protocol #6: Inverted Nipples).

  • Prenatal Breast Care
    REGIONAL HEALTH EDUCATION REGIONAL HEALTH EDUCATION Prenatal Breast Care How do I get ready to breastfeed? You don’t have to do anything! Your body knows what to do. Your breasts have been changing during your pregnancy just for this reason. • Your breasts may get bigger and feel tender when touched. This tenderness should go away after the third or fourth month of pregnancy. • During pregnancy, hormones start to prepare your breasts for breastfeeding (lactation). The milk ducts in your breasts start collecting “colostrum,” the milk that appears the first few days after birth. Colostrum is the perfect first food for your baby. It has lots of antibodies to keep your baby from getting sick. Sometimes a little colostrum may leak out during pregnancy. If this happens, use disposable or cotton breast pads (without plastic liners) to absorb it. Do not express or pump out the colostrum. • The area around the nipples (the areola) will get darker. Glands surrounding the areola get bigger during pregnancy. These glands decrease bacteria and they naturally moisturize and protect the areola and the nipple. While you are pregnant, don’t wash with soaps or put oil or lotion on the nipples. You don’t want to work against your body’s natural way of getting ready to breastfeed. Can I wear regular bras while I am pregnant? For the most part yes, although underwire bras are not recommended. • If your breasts get bigger, a supportive, cotton bra may be more comfortable during pregnancy and while you are breastfeeding. This may also protect the breast tissue from stretching too much.

  • Getting Ready for Your Lactation Appt
    Getting Ready for Your Lactation Appointment You will be meeting with an International Lactation Specialist who will help you work toward your breastfeeding goals. This initial consultation will last 1 to 1 ½ hours. Follow-up consultations, if needed, may be shorter. This consultation will include: a health history of you and your baby, a physical assessment of your breasts, a physical assessment of your baby included the mouth and tongue, one or more weight checks, an assessment of how your baby feeds, and recommendations to address your individual concerns in order to facilitate your breastfeeding goals. Please bring to your appointment: 1. Baby – the appointment should be scheduled around baby’s feeding time. Two hours after the previous feeding is optimal. The purpose of the consultation is to feed the baby with the Lactation Specialist at your side. This will help determine which interventions may be appropriate. 2. Partner or Support Person – this can be baby’s dad, grandmother, your sister, etc. To maximize the success of the consultation, this support person should be the individual who will be helping you at home. 3. Your breast pump and ALL the pump pieces you have – if you do not have a pump, it is fine. During the consultation, the Lactation Specialist will let you know if a breast pump is needed. Some breast pumps are better than others. Be sure ALL your pump pieces are clean and ready to use, even the pieces that you have not previously used. 4. Dress Comfortably – wear clothing that is comfortable and easy for breastfeeding.

  • A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Lanolin for the Treatment of Nipple Pain Among Breastfeeding Women
    A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Lanolin for the Treatment of Nipple Pain Among Breastfeeding Women by Kimberley T. Allen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Nursing Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Kimberley T. Allen 2014 A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Lanolin for the Treatment of Nipple Pain Among Breastfeeding Women Kimberley T. Allen Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Nursing Science University of Toronto 2014 Abstract It is widely accepted that breast milk is the optimal source of infant nutrition. Despite the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of infant life, many women discontinue breastfeeding as a result of perceived difficulties. Nipple pain is a highly prevalent, significant reason for breastfeeding cessation. Among the numerous interventions for nipple pain, the application of lanolin is commonly recommended, with endorsement by Health Canada, The La Leche League, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. The few studies that have evaluated the effectiveness of lanolin on nipple pain have lacked methodologic rigor, and are thus not reliable or generalizable. As such, the purpose of this trial was to rigourously evaluate the effect of lanolin for the treatment of nipple pain among breastfeeding women. This single-site randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared the application of lanolin (treatment) to usual postpartum care (not applying lanolin) for the treatment of nipple pain. The primary outcome for this trial was the effect on pain severity, as measured by a numeric rating scale (NRS) at 4 days post-randomization.
