Should Breastfeeding Be Allowed in Public? “In a society that's riddled with contradictions about what is appropriate, it's not surprising that some women are unsure of how to handle certain aspects of their social lives as breastfeeding mothers.” Says Michaelene Gerster Trocola in La Leche League’s article Breastfeeding in Public. For many years, breastfeeding mothers in public have been a controversial topic. I believe there should be no question to whether or not nursing in public should be allowed as that is the mother’s right and it provides the child what they need to survive. Nursing provides many benefits to a baby’s health at birth, and in the long-run.
Lactation or breastfeeding is the most important and preferred way to ensure complete nutrition for infants. It also aids mothers’ well being. However, most women lactate well, there are cases where women find themselves unable to lactate or there is insufficient breast milk that recedes as the initial phase passes. Nursing women may find it worrisome if they are not producing breast milk enough to support their baby’s daily feeding requirements. Low lactation levels can be due to excess interfering medication, certain illnesses, intake, stress, hormone imbalance or, inability to feed properly.
During the care of the obstetric (OB) patient throughout labor, delivery, and postpartum, obstetric departments work to provide safe outcomes for mothers and infants. To do so, nurses must be prepared to act upon any adverse event associated with increased maternal or neonatal morbidity or mortality. However, staff are challenged to implement evidence-based practice when these events occur so infrequently. This is especially challenging for nurses who are new to obstetric care and have little, if any, exposure to adverse scenarios or events. For these reasons, newly hired nurses who have less than 1-2 years’ experience in obstetrics nursing could benefit from a high-risk OB class that incorporates topics including postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) to assist in earlier recognition, response, and ultimately improved patient care.
Furthermore, the infant formula image is not only built up among mothers and families, but also among HCPs. Marzuki et al. (2014) exemplify doctors and midwives in four provinces of Indonesia allowed infant formula to be given when mothers could not produce breast milk in the first days after delivery. They also believed the rich ingredients in infant formula were advantageous to malnourished
Q:I've heard many opinions in regards to newborns and pacifiers. Is it OK to give one, and if so, at what age? A: All babies have a natural desire to suck and pacifiers can often be great tools to aid them. When used properly, pacifiers can help comfort a baby or simply give him the opportunity to suck when he is not actually hungry. I generally don't recommend giving a newborn a pacifier, however, until nursing or bottle feeding is firmly established (which is approximately six weeks).
Eventually it reaches the uterus, where it would implant, if fertilized. If not fertilized by a sperm, then the lining of the uterus that had built up in preparation for the fertilized egg is unnecessary. Both egg and uterine lining leave your body, cleansing your system and preparing for a new month. When you take birth control pills, you impose synthetic hormones on your natural cycle. Many birth control pills contain high levels of estrogen that effectively convince your pituitary gland that you are pregnant (this explains some of the side effects of the drugs) and that you don’t need to ovulate.
This procedure also increases the risk of an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, premature birth and other complications. Hence, it can possibly lead to consequential emotional and financial expenses for the family and more extensive society. In IVF treatments, there is often more than one embryo placed back into the uterus, which may lead to a higher likelihood of multiple pregnancy; around 20-30% of IVF pregnancies are multiple pregnancies. An IVF cycle may also be unsuccessful. The success of the method is not promised, and patients often have to experience more than one cycle of treatment before they are successful.
encouragement, and most importantly with the suitable.practice and assistance to solve any problems. Studies have proved that early skin to skin contact between mothers and babies,.frequent and unrestricted.breast feeding to ensure continued production of milk and help with positioning.and attaching the baby increase the chances of breast feeding being successful. In addition to that, breastfeeding.also has a positive outcome on maternal health. In the short term, it postpones the return to fertility and in the long term, it reduces diabetes mellitus type.II and breast, uterine and ovarian cancer.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF "FLASH CARD" IN IMPROVING THE KNOWLEDGE OF MOTHERS ABOUT PREGNANCY INTRODUCTION Pregnancy is the growth and development of an intrauterine fetus starting from conception to the onset of true labour that marks the beginning of the intrapartum period and the duration of normal pregnancy is 280 days (40 weeks or 9 months 7 days) calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period[1]. World Health Organization (WHO) socialises that pregnancy is a special thing and needs special attention from all family members. Because a normal pregnancy could at any time change into an emergency condition that can result in maternal death. One cause of high mortality rate the mother is due to lack of knowledge about pregnancy. To reduce
In other cases the egg, sperm or embryos from a known or anonymous donor may be used. There are gestational carriers which is a woman who has an embryo implanted in her uterus, who can be used in some situations. While IVF is a effective way to have a child for those who have fertility problems, it is a very complex procedure and also very expensive. Other treatment options such as fertility drugs or artificial insemination can be tried. IVF is mostly offered as a primary treatment for infertility in women over the age of 40, also for those women who have certain health conditions.
