Subject: physicians and residents and breastfeeding counseling
Hi,
It seems to be that there are several studies that indicates that health
professionals and others who have not breastfed feel unable to counsel
breastfeeding mothers. This doesn't seem to apply, though, to other areas
of healthcare. Is breastfeeding a special case? Is there something
especially important that having successfully breastfed a child brings to
the counselling relationship, or is it simply lack of knowledge and training
What do others think?
Barb

Subject: MRSA / mastitis
I have been battling severe recurrent mastitis and have had a positive MR=
SA
swab. My doctors (both PCP and infectious disease) are unfamiliar with
breastfeeding and are pressuring me to wean. They're reluctant to treat =
for
MRSA and have never heard of culturing breastmilk. I'd like input and
especially links to sources that support continued breastfeeding during
mastitis treatment as well as MRSA / mastitis treatment protocols. I hav=
e
the WHO policy statement on mastitis and am in need of similar resources.=

Thank you.

Subject: Clarification - LOS shorter for bottlefed?
I posted yesterday asking if LOS is shorter for bottlefed premies. I
would like to clarify - these are by and large breastmilk-fed babies.
I am lucky to work at a hospital that has a 90-95% breastfeeding
initiation rate and most of these babies go home being fed bottles of
breastmilk. The NNP (and I) would like to see if it really makes a
difference (i.e. longer LOS) to let them just breastfeed. As I said
in my previous post, there is an attached private room (with queen
sized bed, refridgerator, TV, full bath, etc) for the parents that
they can stay in free of charge the entire time their baby is a
patient, so moms can be there for all the feedings if they want.
