Obstetrician Breastfeeding Case Study

401 Words2 Pages

1.To think about I hardly ever see women breastfeed in public. I think its a natural thing and it should be up to the woman if she wants to breastfeed in public cover up or not. After reading about women having trouble breast feeding a baby when not covered up it would be even harder for women to breastfeed covered up.
2.If wrote a letter to an Obstetrician I would recommend around 28 weeks that they should talk about how women should breastfeed, the benefits breastfeeding (Increase levels of Oxycontin, stimulates uterine, contractions, minimizes maternal postpartum blood loss and helps the uterus to return to non-pregnant size, fertility is delayed with breastfeeding, and helps mother lose weight),getting their breast ready to start feeding right after the baby is born and to start pumping 6 hours …show more content…

The benefits I would suggest about breastfeeding
Nutritionally balanced meals
Higher IQ
Protection against common childhood illnesses and infections
Better survival during the first year of life, including lower risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Less chance of developing some allergic diseases
Less chance of developing type 1 diabetes

If the mother is not making making milk or not enough would suggest the donor milk program that she could until her starts producing milk . In very few cases I would recommend

  • Midwifery Argumentative Essay

    Unlike doctors that only have one agenda when it comes to a woman giving birth, midwives provide women with individualized care uniquely suited to their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and cultural needs. In the course of developing that relationship, midwives provide personalized and thorough care at many levels that empowers the soon-to-be mother in her ability to give birth and care for her baby. The maternity care practiced should be based on the needs of the mother and child and not the caregiver or provider; therefore, interventions should be avoided with the natural birthing process unless complications arise. Until 1940, midwives used to deliver most babies; however, there was a cultural and social shift that made women believe that the hospital provided a safer, pain-free birth without risks of hemorrhage, infection or death (Connerton). This movement has “grappled with economic, political, religious and racial differences” (Craven).
