Download or read book Breastfeeding and Media written by Katherine A. Foss and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book centers on the role of media in shaping public perceptions of breastfeeding. Drawing from magazines, doctors’ office materials, parenting books, television, websites, and other media outlets, Katherine A. Foss explores how historical and contemporary media often undermine breastfeeding efforts with formula marketing and narrow portrayals of nursing women and their experiences. Foss argues that the media’s messages play an integral role in setting the standard of public knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding, as she traces shifting public perceptions of breastfeeding and their corresponding media constructions from the development of commercial formula through contemporary times. This analysis demonstrates how attributions of blame have negatively impacted public health approaches to breastfeeding, thus confronting the misperception that breastfeeding, and the failure to breastfeed, rests solely on the responsibility of an individual mother.

Download or read book Breastfeeding and Medication written by Wendy Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sadly, women often feel they have no alternative but to give up breastfeeding, having been prescribed or purchased medication. In many cases, however, this is unnecessary. This book outlines the evidence base for the use of medication during breastfeeding. Breastfeeding and Medication presents a comprehensive A to Z guide to the most frequently prescribed drugs and their safety for breastfeeding mothers. Evaluating the evidence for interventions and using a simple format for quickly identifying medications that are safe or unsafe to use, it also highlights those drugs where there is inconclusive evidence. Additional contextual information makes this the most complete text for those practitioners who support and treat breastfeeding women. It: provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the breast together with hormonal influences to better understand how complications, such as mastitis, arise and inform the approach to their treatment; includes a section on conditions that affect women specifically when they are lactating where prescription of medication may be necessary; discusses the importance of breastfeeding and its advantages, as well as its disadvantages; and explores how to support breastfeeding mothers, and presents a counselling model approach. This new edition contains information on more drugs and a chapter on the management of some chronic conditions which may affect breastfeeding mothers. In most cases there are options to support the mother’s optimal care whilst allowing her to continue to breastfeed her baby as long as she wishes. This is a topic which raises many questions on social media, which informed the choice of conditions to consider. This is an invaluable reference for all health practitioners and volunteers who work with, support and treat breastfeeding women, including lactation consultants, breastfeeding support workers, health visitors, GPs, practice nurses, pharmacists and midwives.

Download or read book Protecting Your Potential for Breastfeeding written by Kelly Durbin and published by Praeclarus Press. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durbin explores weighty topics such as institutional, racial, and societal barriers to breastfeeding. And yet the tone of her book is friendly and non-judgmental, with an interesting mix of historical information, wider policy recommendations, and concrete suggestions about how families can achieve optimal breastfeeding outcomes. Her overviews of the basics of breastfeeding are clearly presented, with helpful summaries and bullet-points that identify key issues. She includes evidence-based, practical solutions to breastfeeding challenges and describes effective ways parents can improve their communication skills to get help when they need it. Stories have great power to teach, and a strength of the book is the inclusion in each chapter of case studies (True Stories) that illustrate the real-life consequences of Durbin's aptly coined phase: "lactation interference factors." -Barbara Wilson-Clay, BS, IBCLC "Protecting Your Potential for Breastfeeding is a gem! Expectant parents, new parents, and lactation enthusiasts alike will find value in this comprehensive resource that covers everything from the science of human lactation to the cards we are dealt societally that prevent families from reaching their nursing goals. As a lactation equity expert, it was refreshing to see that Durbin included commentary on the cultural and racial impacts on breastfeeding experiences in the US. I'm looking forward to the discussions that this text will ignite around ways we can all contribute to reshuffling the deck, so to speak, to make lactation more accessible for all." -Nekisha Killings, MPH IBCLC Founder, The Melanated Mammary Atlas(R) Although human milk is the optimal choice for babies, many people struggle with breastfeeding. In the United States and numerous other places, most babies begin breastfeeding on the first day of life, but because of pervasive factors that create obstacles to lactation, many people stop breastfeeding long before they had planned. For this reason, most infants in the U.S. are partially or fully formula fed before they are six months old. Why are so many people struggling to meet their infant feeding goals? Outside of the field of lactation, most people are unaware of the negative factors that can adversely impact milk production and infant feeding. Protecting Your Potential for Breastfeeding pulls back the curtain on this challenging situation so that new parents can make informed decisions that will empower and strengthen their potential for making human milk. In this book, you will read about best practices for breastfeeding and how to set yourself up for success. In addition, you will discover over 70 lactation interference factors that can sabotage infant feeding and prevent people from reaching their breastfeeding goals. This indispensable guide to breastfeeding also includes: Prenatal lactation education to help you get infant feeding off to a great start A modifiable breastfeeding plan The RELAX Method for breastfeeding your newborn Evidence-based research about the benefits of skin-to-skin contact Information about proactive parenting skills for new families How to minimize or avoid over 70 lactation interference factors Kelly M. Durbin is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), childbirth educator, author, and volunteer breastfeeding counselor. Her breastfeeding research is published in numerous top-ranked international journals. Kelly is passionate about prenatal education and lactation support. She teaches birth and breastfeeding classes in Phoenix, AZ, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.

Download or read book Birth Settings in America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
