Dear Lactnet Friends:
I am looking forward to this presentation at an on-line conference this
fall by Dr. Lawrence Noble MD, FABM, IBCLC
"What’s really wrong with one bottle?
Whereas great improvements have been made in promoting total breastfeeding
rates, exclusive breastfeeding rates remain below national objectives.
Recent research has elucidated the importance of initial feeds on both
short and long term health. This presentation will review current
literature on the danger of formula. The role of feedings pertaining to
changing the bacteria flora and its effect on infections and inflammatory
diseases, including NEC, will be explored. In addition, the talk will
concentrate on the profound effect of breastfeeding on long-term health by
slowing initial growth rates in infants. Research has demonstrated the role
of rapid infant weight gain on long term obesity, CV disease and type 2
diabetes. Up-to-date research will be presented, as will practical
implications from the research on counseling breastfeeding mothers about
colostrum, early milk supply and perceptions of poor weight gain. The
importance of exclusive breastfeeding at the breast for developing
self-regulation of food will be explained, as will the importance of the
WHO growth charts."
The study published in Pediatrics about limited formula supplementation
undermines Healthy People 2020 goals for the US; specifically, to reduce
the number of babies fed formula in the hospital.
warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, BSN, Mother of 2, MS, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI, ANLC, CKC
