UNICEF states
"If every baby were exclusively breastfed from birth, an estimated 1.5
million lives would be saved - and enhanced - every year."

Subject: Levaquin- Thank you!
I just wanted to thank everyone for the quick responses. I cannot tell
you
how much I appreciate your warm, caring and intelligent support.
As a side note, this case took a sharp left turn today. After CT scans
and
x-rays on her lungs in the hospital, they have found her to be
pregnant!!
Needless to say, this was completely unexpected.
Now they are backing off all meds (no Levaquin) until they can determine
exactly what is going on with her medically. Lung biopsy in the AM.
She is happily breastfeeding her 9-month old in the hospital bed with
her, as
we speak.
We shall see what tomorrow brings.

This was in yesterday's Guardian newspaper, and reports from
Bangladesh on the insidious and widespread undermining of a
breastfeeding culture by marketing and promotion.

Subject: obtaining a bili-light unit for home use
Good morning all,
I'm 10 weeks pregnant and trying to gather some information in case
this, my 3rd baby, gets it's daddy's blood type like the first two did
and we have jaundice issues.
I am planning another home birth but do not, under any circumstances,
want to go to the hospital. I was treated very, very poorly after
both births (#1 was at the hospital and we stayed 6 horrible days
postpartum; #2 was at home but we were admitted on day 2 and released
on day 5) and will assume any amount of personal debt to avoid being
admitted.
If anyone knows of agencies or providers of rental units for bili-
light units (blanket is good), I'd appreciate hearing about them. I
live in Orange County, NY but will arrange for transport if there is
distance involved.
We are of course hoping this baby gets mamma's blood instead and there
is no issue at all...but after my last two horrific experiences (and
my OB calling me "crazy" twice yesterday at my 10-week visit, once for
planning another homebirth and once for continuing to breastfeed my
son, now 2 years and 8 months old), I just want to have some resources
on hand so I can handle the care of my newborn myself.
I will have no problem getting my pediatrician on board if a
prescription is required.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Diana in NY

Subject: Re: obtaining a bili-light unit for home use
Generally speaking, most home health agencies will have the bili light
units, and will simply need an order (prescription) from your
pediatrician.
Ask your children's pediatrician which company they like. They usually
will
come to your home and set it up for you. You can get the "suitcase"
style
or a "blanket" style usually, depending on the company.

Subject: Re: obtaining a bili-light unit for home use
I agree with Tara... I had to do home phototherapy with my first and it
was
done through one of the local hospital's home health department. Once
the
doc wrote the prescription for it, they contacted the home health
department
who looked into my insurance (which covered it completely). They were
really quick and arranged to meet me at home an hour after I was
discharged
from the hospital. The home health nurse then came daily to do
assessments
and check bilirubin levels and I visited the outpatient pediatrician in
between. In all, we only had to do about 2 or 3 days of therapy.

Subject: 1.5 million infant deaths could be prevented by breastfeeding

Dear Friends:
I have been combing Google Scholar and the WHO website, looking for the
source of this oft-quoted phrase, to no avail.
Does anyone have a direct link or a citation?
Thank you.
warmly,

Subject: FW: CBC Radio - Baby Formula
Canada's CBC Radio's "The Current" had a piece on formula and
breastfeeding
. . . .
To listen to the piece go to
http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/2007/200705/20070516.html
Baby Formula: Save the Children
30 years ago, activists around the world launched one of the biggest
consumer boycotts of all time. Their target was Nestle, at the time, one
of
the world's largest manufacturers of baby formula.
The concern stemmed from the way the company marketed its formula to the
developing world and countries where clean water was almost impossible
to
come by. It was a simple equation: Formula, mixed with unclean water was
putting children's lives at risk.
And the boycott seemed to work. In 1981, the World Health Organization
introduced the International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk
Substitutes, a
code that regulated how formula companies could market their products.
Nestle and other formula companies signed on and the boycott was lifted.
But now, a generation after the code of conduct was first brought in,
Save
The Children UK says the problems haven't gone away. In a report
released
today, the organization says the marketing of baby formula is still
putting
the lives of children at risk.
Costanza de Toma is an Advocacy Advisor with Save the Children UK. She
wrote
the briefing and she was in London, England.
Baby Formula - US Author
Well to give us a sense of how different the picture is when we look at
the
use of formula, and the lowering rates of breastfeeding, not in the
developing world, but rather here, closer to home, We were joined by
Barbara
Behrmann.
She is a sociologist and the author of The Breastfeeding Cafe:

&
