Book excerpt: The two most important elements of providing professional breastfeeding support are taking a complete history and performing a detailed physical assessment. Yet, taking the time to take a history or observe a full feeding can sometimes seem too lengthy a process when understaffed or short on time. When these important items are not done, this can lead to increased problems for the feeding dyad, heavier financial burdens for both the family and the healthcare system, and emotional costs for mother and baby. In this book, lactation consultant Denise Altman discusses the information that should be obtained during the history taking part of the patient interview and shows how this information offers triggers for close observation during the physical assessment that help the health provider identify breastfeeding problems. Examples, case studies, and sample forms are included to better show the process. This book covers: * Cross cultural communication * Documentation and charting methods * Types of interview questions * Maternal and infant history * Maternal and infant physical assessment * Feeding assessment * Unique situations that affect breastfeeding - piercings, abuse, NICU baby, multiples, and adoption * Critical thinking skills

This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a pregnant mom who will be going back to work after you have your baby? Are you worried about how to pump while working? Do you work with pregnant or breastfeeding women who plan to pump their milk after they go back to work? Do you need more information on pumps and pumping to increase duration of breastfeeding among your clients? Pumping breastmilk is a very personal behavior for most women. Surveys indicate women want a pump that works quickly, obtains a sufficient quantity of milk from each breast, and does not cause pain. A pump that works for one mom may not work as well for another mom for a variety of reasons. Many mothers have found interventions and techniques that make their pumps work better. In this three-part book, Marsha Walker, RN, IBCLC, shares information on the history and regulation of breast pumps, the mechanics of pumps, a review of the literature, types of pumps, ways to pump more effectively, flanges, how to choose a pump, pumping protocols, how to troubleshoot problems, and how to deal with low milk supply. If you want to know more about breast pumps and tips and techniques for pumping more milk, this is the book for you!

Download or read book Clinics in Human Lactation How Breastfeeding Protects Women s Health Throughout the Lifespan written by Maureen Groer and published by Hale Pub.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers are discovering that breastfeeding is more protective of maternal health than previously imagined and that it dramatically lowers women's risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes during middle and old age, common causes of premature mortality for women. Previously the health benefits of breastfeeding were mainly focused on the infant. New data suggests that breastfeeding may have life-long effects for both mother and baby. Psychoneuroimmunology is an emerging, interdisciplinary science that considers the ways in which the human mind and the immune system interact and influence each other. Over the past 40 years, a body of evidence clearly shows that stress and coping may produce changes in immunity. These changes can result in health effects that contribute to disease. In this book, authors Maureen Groer, RN, PhD, FAAN, and Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD, IBCLC, FAPA cover: * Why breastfeeding protects maternal health * Basic concepts of breast differentiation, lactogenesis, and lactation * Basic overview of the human stress response * Introduction to psychoneuroimmunology and the immunology of pregnancy and postpartum * Lactational stress resistance * Breastfeeding, mental health, and the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome * Breastfeeding and immunity * Implications of an anti-inflammatory response to enhancing the health effects of breastfeeding throughout women's lives This monograph provides the latest evidence on how breastfeeding and human milk are the biological norms for mother and baby, and how artificial feeding puts both at risk for health problems throughout their lives. It presents information on the science of psychoneuroimmunology and applies it to the maternal-infant breastfeeding dyad, presenting the latest evidence that will inform practice and, hopefully, policy.

Download or read book Clinics in Human Lactation written by Nancy Wight and published by Hale Pub.. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For women who intend to breastfeed, the hospital experience is critical. Hospitals provide care to nearly all women giving birth in the U.S. However, in most hospitals, this care falls short of evidence-based best practices that fully support mothers to be able to breastfeed. Hypoglycemia, jaundice, and supplementation are common hospital issues that may compromise breastfeeding. In Hospital Breastfeeding Issues, author Nancy Wight explains why managing these issues in an evidence-based and breastfeeding-supportive manner may preserve the breastfeeding relationship, extend breastfeeding duration, and improve the health of the infant, mother, and community. Dr. Wight describes the normal breastfeeding newborn in regards to feeding behavior, weight gain and loss, and stooling patterns. She gives breastfeeding-supportive management approaches for treating hypoglycemia and jaundice, and discusses how some hospital policies and practices interfere with optimal breastfeeding. Supporting mothers through hospital breastfeeding challenges can help mothers reach their breastfeeding goals. This well-cited book presents the evidence-based information clinicians need to care for hypoglycemic and jaundiced newborns and help new moms meet their breastfeeding goals.

Book excerpt: Pregnant and postpartum women are at increased risk for depression, and the health effects of depression for both mother and baby are too serious to ignore. As important as it is, however, to promptly treat depression, some are voicing concern over whether the risks of antidepressant medications outweigh the benefits. Fortunately, there are more treatment choices than ever before. In this monograph, Kathleen Kendall-Tackett describes the various non-drug treatment modalities being used to treat even major depression. In most cases, the non-drug treatments are as effective as medications with far fewer side effects. Dr. Kendall-Tackett summarizes current research and provides an evidence base for each treatment modality and how it impacts breastfeeding. Drawing on research from the field of psychoneuroimmunology, she describes why these treatments alleviate depression, and the specific clinical applications for each approach. These modalities are breastfeeding-friendly and offer mothers viable treatment alternatives that preserve the breastfeeding relationship.
