Antibodies are blood proteins made in response to germs or other foreign substances that enter the body. Antibodies help the body fight illness and disease by attaching to germs and marking them for destruction. The gastrointestinal system is made up of the stomach and the small and large intestines. It breaks down and absorbs food. The respiratory system includes the nose, throat, voice box, windpipe, and lungs. Air is breathed in, delivering oxygen. Waste gas is removed from the lungs when you breathe out. 2U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. (2011).

  • Common Breastfeeding Questions
    Common Breastfeeding Questions How often should my baby nurse? Your baby should nurse 8-12 times in 24 hours. Baby will tell you when he’s hungry by “rooting,” sucking on his hands or tongue, or starting to wake. Just respond to baby’s cues and latch baby on right away. Every mom and baby’s feeding patterns will be unique. Some babies routinely breastfeed every 2-3 hours around the clock, while others nurse more frequently while awake and sleep longer stretches in between feedings. The usual length of a breastfeeding session can be 10-15 minutes on each breast or 15-30 minutes on only one breast; just as long as the pattern is consistent. Is baby getting enough breastmilk? Look for these signs to be sure that your baby is getting enough breastmilk: Breastfeed 8-12 times each day, baby is sucking and swallowing while breastfeeding, baby has 3- 4 dirty diapers and 6-8 wet diapers each day, the baby is gaining 4-8 ounces a week after the first 2 weeks, baby seems content after feedings. If you still feel that your baby may not be getting enough milk, talk to your health care provider. How long should I breastfeed? The World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends mothers to breastfeed for 12 months or longer. Breastmilk contains everything that a baby needs to develop for the first 6 months. Breastfeeding for at least the first 6 months is termed, “The Golden Standard.” Mothers can begin breastfeeding one hour after giving birth.

  • 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. The Key to Increasing Breastfeeding Duration 3 The key to increasing breastfeeding duration: Empowering the healthcare team During the colonial era, mothers breastfed through their infants‘ second summer.

  • Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence June 16, 2015
    Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence June 16, 2015 limited elevation in tongue tied baby Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence By: Lee-Ann Grenier Tongue and lip tie (often abbreviated to TT/LT) have become buzzwords among lactation consultants bloggers and new mothers. For many these are strange new words despite the fact that it is a relatively common condition. Treating tongue tie fell out of medical favour in the early 1950s. In breastfeeding circles, it was talked about occasionally, but until recently few health care professionals screened babies for tongue tie and it was frequently overlooked as a cause of common breastfeeding difficulties. In the last few years tongue tie and the related condition lip tie have exploded into the consciousness of mothers and breastfeeding helpers. So why all the fuss about tongue and lip ties all of a sudden? Tongue tie seems to be a relatively common problem, affecting 4-11%1 of the population and it can have a drastic impact on breastfeeding. The presence of tongue tie triples the risk of weaning in the first week of life.2 Here in Alberta it has been challenging to find competent assessment and treatment, prompting several Alberta mothers and their babies to fly to New York in 2011 and 2012 to receive treatment. The dedication and persistence of these mothers has spurred action on providing education and treatment options for Alberta families. In August of 2012, The Breastfeeding Action Committee of Edmonton (BACE) brought Dr. Lawrence Kotlow to Edmonton to provide information and training to area health care providers.

  • Breastfeeding Promotion Committee Terms of Reference
    Breastfeeding Promotion Committee Terms of Reference VISION We envision a region where breastfeeding is the cultural norm. PURPOSE The purpose of the Breastfeeding Promotion Committee (BPC) is to protect, promote and support breastfeeding in the Champlain and South East LHINs. VALUES We follow and promote the Baby Friendly Initiative 10 Steps1 and the International Code of Marketing Breastmilk Substitutes2: o We advocate for maternal-newborn dyad care: togetherness, no unnecessary separation in healthcare organizations and in the community. o We coordinate and collaborate across the circle of care to promote effective breastfeeding services. The circle of care includes all health care and community workers supporting clients to breastfeed in hospitals, community agencies and private practices. o We promote breastfeeding education across the lifespan to families, communities and health care professionals. o We promote breastfeeding across the reproductive continuum, from pre-conception to childhood. Clients – parents, babies and families – are at the centre of our work. Our actions are based on the best available evidence. We support and promote informed decision-making about infant feeding and respect the decisions that clients make. ACCOUNTABILITY The Breastfeeding Promotion Committee reports to CMNRP’s Advisory Committee. ROLES and RESPONSIBILITIES Determine and prioritize goals in conjunction with CMNRP’s Strategic Plan priorities and timelines. Monitor and review regional breastfeeding data to identify strengths and gaps in performance. Identify and recommend strategies to address gaps and improve services. Create short-term workgroups to address specific goals. Develop project charters that specify the scope, objectives, action plans, deliverables and timelines for each workgroup. Provide BPC reports to CMNRP’s Advisory Committee.
