obesity and breastfeeding |

Kids settle down? unheard of, mine just
run wild |
|
12:06:38 |
Host_Housepoet |
this article suggests that the longer
infants are breast-fed, the lower the
likelihood they'll be overweight as
adolescents, a relationship that does
not appear to be influenced by
socio-cultural factors. |
|
12:07:05 |
Enolastar |
hum....interesting |

I talked last time about how I'd emailed
the director of the Massachusetts
Breastfeeding Coalition |
|
12:08:19 |
mod_ariana |
Regarding the article on the
Massachusetts ban on formula give away
bags being sent home with new moms |
|
12:08:49 |
mod_ariana |
The original article had mentioned that
there were studies that showed that
these bags lead to lower breastfeeding
rates. |
|
12:08:58 |
mod_ariana |
But I had trouble finding these articles |
|
12:09:07 |
mod_ariana |
She was great and did the research and
put it up on their site |
|

Scroll to the bottom. |
|
12:09:29 |
mod_ariana |
So now we have something to fall back on
when we discuss this with women |
|
12:09:41 |
mod_ariana |
I know it's fun to get freebies! |
|
12:09:54 |
mod_ariana |
But these things do have a very real
negative effect on breastfeeding |

There is no correct age in which to
introduce your infant to a bottle.
Granted, breastfeeding provides a safe
and comfortable environment for both
mother and child; however, there are
going to be times and places when
breastfeeding may not be convenient."" |
|
12:15:59 |
LaurenFJackson |
*choochoo* |
|
12:16:05 |
LaurenFJackson |

convenient! |

|
12:16:34 |
Host_Housepoet |
Additionally, it is not practical or
convenient to breastfeed in a grocery
store checkout line, or while Christmas
shopping at your favorite mall."" |
|
12:16:43 |
lillake |
LOL How is it not convenient? LOL |
|
12:16:45 |

12:16:46 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
if your baby eats for 10 minutes, pump
for 10 minutes (when pumping to be away
from baby)???? um, what? |
|
12:16:47 |
tobeborn |
That's crazy |
|
12:16:48 |

breastfeeding is not convenient.... |

that reason |
