For the reason I pick this article was for the controversy was involved around the mother and the son in the front page cover in this magazine.

Breastfeeding has sometimes been viewed as a disturbing public exposure by a lot of people. Most of them chose to ignore the benefits of breastfeeding your child. The article of Lisa Flam is an example of what people think about breastfeeding. It discusses a picture of a young African woman nurturing her child in front of everyone during a graduation ceremony. Despite the fact that people think is wrong to breastfeed your child in public, it is legal in 49 states in the United States. Another perspective of looking at this article is the empowerment of encouraging African women to breastfeed their children because they are the groups that breastfeed their children the least in the United States.

Twenty one to one interviews were conducted with women who have had babies within one year. Half are currently breastfeeding and half are not breastfeeding at all but were at the time of birth. Ages range from 20 to 34. I will first discuss the women who are not breastfeeding. There were several motives expressed as reasons why breastfeeding was not successful, but the overwhelming underlying reason was lack of proper education. Motives listed in order of most frequent were pain associated with breastfeeding (3), lack adequate milk supply (3), infection from oversupply (1), lack of pumping time/space at work (2), wanted baby to sleep longer (1), and family members not being supportive (2). Concurrently, in literature, lack of adequate milk supply and returning to work were the two main reasons women stopped breastfeeding (Arlotti, Cottrell, Lee, & Curtin, 1998). The women that reported pain as the reason for not continuing to breastfeed never sought out a lactation consultation, and felt like their primary care provider was not well versed in lactation in general. The women who stopped breastfeeding due to inadequate milk supply all became frustrated and stopped at a common infant growth spurt phase suggesting that education on growth spurts and how the supply and demand system work may have been beneficial. The women who stopped breastfeeding due to pumping concerns at work were not educated on the state laws regarding breastfeeding and that the law mandates a reasonable

This culture of no compassion extends beyond broad social issues. It seems that as a society, we've grown less tolerant and patient with one another. Breast-feeding mothers are kicked out of public parks for offending some uptight prude. Mothers face scathing wrath or banishment if dealing with a crying child. Even children themselves have become an offensive thing and the target of intolerance, with some businesses or communities banishing them or segregating families with kids apart from other customers. You could probably recite your own stories of rudeness or intolerance from

Throughout this paper, the author information will provide information on how different methods of teaching can help to influence the continuation of breastfeeding in pregnant and postpartum mothers. The paper will also critique three research articles. The articles will consist of either qualitative or quantitative research. The main goal or purpose of this paper is to show why mothers discontinue breastfeeding after discharge and how healthcare providers can more appropriately promote its continuation to these mothers.

Breastfeeding has multiple positive effects for both the mother and the child. These effects can be in the short term and long term. Mothers who breastfeed have reduced rates of postpartum depression and a decreased risk of breast and ovarian cancers. It also helps the woman’s uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size along with other benefits ("Positive Effects of Breastfeeding"). Breastfeeding also protects babies from numerous illnesses during infancy and later in life ("How Breastfeeding Benefits You and Your Baby | BabyCenter").

Human infants, at the time which they are born, are incredibly dependent creatures. Extensive measures must be taken to ensure that they are given the adequate nutrients they need in order to grow into a health, fully-functioning adult. The means in which infants receive these nutrients is most commonly through breastfeeding. The intimate relationship between mother and child that exists in the womb is maintained after birth through the act of breastfeeding. The choice of a mother to breastfeed her child has numerous, serious implications – for both herself and her offspring. The physiological consequences that breastfeeding has on mother and child are undeniable. Breastfeeding directly affects the physical development of an infant

Breast-feeding is as natural as breathing and has always been a way for a mother to not only feed her child, but to form a connection with her child. It seems like a no-brainer, but many women struggle with the choice to breastfeed or to bottle feed with packaged formula. Fortunately, there is an abundance of information available to parents that help explain the advantages of breast milk, whether the baby feeds directly from his or her mother or receives milk from a donor.

Survey respondents identified if support was offered to hospital staff in a designated room to express milk, permission to use breaks to express milk, electric breast pump provision, lactation consultant availability, breastfeeding support group access, on-site child care, and paid maternity leave. From 2007 to 2011, only on-site childcare decreased and the six other supports increased. Less than 15% of hospitals provided direct access to the breastfeeding child with on-site childcare. Another major concern was noted with less than 35% of hospitals offering paid maternity leave. The authors concluded that major areas for improving employee breastfeeding support are having direct access to childcare and providing access to breastfeeding support groups.3 This study displays that mPINC data can be used to access hospital breastfeeding support for maternity care employees that wish to breastfeed at

Breastfeeding has become the new normal for parents of the millennium generation. With new research and enhanced parent education, new mothers have developed knowledge in relation to the benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and baby. Breastfeeding is linked to psychological benefits such as a hormonal release to enhance bonding and attachment through mother and baby. At the very least, breastfeeding may also reduce or prevent the likeliness of long-term health complications. Coincidentally, some mothers still struggle with thought of breastfeeding and the potential risks and complications involved with formula fed infants. Let’s review the good, the bad and ugly facts of breastfeeding.

Research has shown that nursing implications have an impact on breast-feeding and bottle-feeding; the main three aspects that allow nurses to have an impact are teaching, collaboration, and support. Under these three sections there will be discussion about the benefits and the risk of Brest/bottle feeding, ho teaching promotes understanding, how the community supports and specialist help with the promotion of breast feeding, and how nurses can use the social determinates of health to promote the well being of there clients.

World Health Organization (2002) has announced that women should be encouraged if possible to breastfeed their child(ren) exclusively for the first six months of the child’s life and once the child is six months of age to continue breastfeeding along with appropriate, healthy food for up until the child reaches the age of two years old or older so that the child can receive all the nutrients that the child needs in order to achieve optimal growth, health and development. While the child is growing and developing to meet his or her milestones, it is crucial to monitor the child’s health. National Heart, Lung and Blood institute (2017) mentions that obesity is related to unwanted, potential life-threatening disorders such as; diabetes, heart

Breastfeeding is very convenient as well. It is completely free and not difficult to do. Some mothers who don’t have a lot of money may struggle to provide milk for their child if they are dependent on formula. It can get to be very costly and expensive if a baby drinks a lot of formula. With breastfeeding, mothers will not have to worry about providing nutrition to their babies. The mother and child will both

Newborn breastfeeding initiation is not always the easiest and smoothest of processes, so it is wise to get help to do this. In maternal care facilities there is usually support staff to help you in the process. It is best to get support quickly to ensure that you get a good start. There might be a breastfeeding station where mothers gather for feeds. These gatherings are comforting as you begin to realise that you are not alone in dealing with the challenges of initiation.

The challenges these women faced range from difficulty latching to lack of milk production. Challenges occurred from birth to during the research, some babies went through phases where they did not want to nurse, others wanted to nurse, but had difficulty latching. Women had issues with engorgement, high/low milk supply, nipple pain, and strong let down. In reference to Karleen D Gribble (2014), “ The societal expectation in Australia and other developed countries is that babies breastfeed for only a few months” (p.6 ) and it is not socially acceptable to continue to breastfeed beyond this time ( ). During this study, women become aware that it was considered unusual to continue to nourish their babies past a year old. Women pushed themselves to continue to breastfeed through the challenges they faced, some women said they were able to continue to nourish their babies past infancy because of the assistance they received from the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA), and the support of their family and friends. Throughout this study women, “who had previously had difficult and brief breastfeeding experiences but these negative experiences made them determined to make subsequent breastfeeding relationships more successful” (Gribble, 2014, p. 12). At the end of this study, it showed that many women faced at least one obstacle while nursing.
