Members represent local birthing R E A hospitals, health insurance companies, WIC, visiting nurse organizations, Early Head Start S T F E Programs, public health clinics, private clinical practices, La Leche League, research E D I N organizations, and the Department of Health. G The Rhode Island Breastfeeding Coalition recognizes breastfeeding as the optimal method of infant feeding. To date, a large body of scientific literature regarding infant feeding indicates that human milk provides infants with ideally balanced nutrients and immunologic protection against infection and allergies unparalleled by breast milk substitutes. Breastfeeding has been shown to decrease infant mortality and morbidity, thereby reducing health care expenses. Breastfeeding also creates a unique opportunity for strong mother-infant attachment. As the physiologic completion of the reproductive cycle, breastfeeding provides numerous maternal health benefits. All of these advantages cost little or nothing to the family. The vision of the coalition is that all babies in Rhode Island will be breastfed and breastfeeding will be accepted as the norm for infant feeding in Rhode Island. We strive to achieve that vision by increasing statewide breastfeeding rates and durations to levels outlined in the national Healthy People 2010 health promotion and disease prevention initiative: » 75% of mothers will leave the hospital breastfeeding » 50% of mothers will continue to breastfeed for 6 months » 25% of mothers will continue breastfeeding for 12 months » 60% of mothers will breastfeed exclusively for 3 months » 25% of mothers will breastfeed exclusively for 6 months Our primary strategies to meet these objectives are to increase breastfeeding knowledge and awareness among breastfeeding families and health care professionals, develop community resources, and build community partnerships throughout Rhode Island. 4 T H THE WHO/UNICEF BABY FRIENDLY HOSPITAL INITIATIVE E W H O / U In 1992, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization N I C (WHO) launched the “Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative,” a global program developed to E F B A encourage and recognize hospitals and maternity centers that offer an optimal level of care B Y for lactation. F R I E N D L Y The “Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative” assists hospitals in giving breastfeeding mothers the H O S information, confidence, and skills they need to successfully initiate and continue breastfeeding P I T A their babies. To become 'Baby-Friendly,' hospitals and maternity centers must practice each of L I N I the 10 steps to successful breastfeeding developed by WHO and UNICEF. T I A T I V E TEN STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL BREASTFEEDING 1. Have a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all health care staff. 2. Train all health care staff in skills necessary to implement this policy. 3. Inform all pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding. 4. Help mothers initiate breastfeeding within one half-hour of birth. 5. Show mothers how to breastfeed and how to maintain lactation, even if they are separated from their infants. 6. Give newborn infants no food or drink other than breastmilk, unless medically indicated. 7. Practice ‘rooming in’ by allowing mothers and babies to remain together 24 hours a day. 8. Encourage breastfeeding on demand. 9. Give no artificial teats or pacifiers to breastfeeding infants. 10. Foster the establishment of breastfeeding support groups and refer mothers to them on discharge from the hospital or clinic. 2 1 | PRENATAL & POSTPARTUM SUPPORT 6 P R SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR E N A T WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN (WIC) A L A N D The WIC Program provides breastfeeding

His skin was paler than hers, warm and slightly moist to the touch. There was a casual chemistry between both their body language and gestures that an onlooker would call comfort.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Liquid Gold: Breast Milk Banking in the United States A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Marisa Gerstein Pineau 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Liquid Gold: Breast Milk Banking in America by Marisa Gerstein Pineau Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Rebecca Emigh, Chair Over the course of the 20th Century, breast milk banks have facilitated the exchange of breast milk from mothers with an excess supply to infants in need. But while early banks used a seller model, purchasing milk as a commodity from lower class women, today banks use a donor model, relying on middle class women who give their milk away as a gift. This dissertation explores why the commodified model of breast milk banking first arose, and why banked breast milk was giftified (but still commodified) by the end of the century. I use content analysis of institutional records from three banks operating in three different eras, and interviews with current milk bank managers, donors, and parents of recipients to address these questions. My analysis indicates that in each era a confluence of factors, in particular women’s employment, conceptions of motherhood, medical practices and beliefs, and technologies shapes the exchange of banked breast milk. In the early 20th century new technologies made the physical disembodiment of breast milk possible, while mothering practices and medical authorities’ preferences promoted breast milk’s symbolic disembodiment, promoting the milk’s ii commodification, while limited employment opportunities created a pool of willing sellers.
