Hi all and Pat,
I agree. As a BFHI assessor, we interview postnatal mothers and one
set of questions centres around where their babies stay while in
hospital. When asked "Has you baby stayed with you/in your room
since their birth? Mother's look puzzled and ask "Where else would
they stay?" They are unaware that at one time it was routine for
babies to be kept in nurseries and mothers to have limited contact.
As an assessor, it is so good to interview a mother and have her tell
me all about how good breastfeeding is.
In a couple of areas, breastfeeding is now a part of the culture.
One hospital in the state of Tasmania, Australia, now has statistics
of over 75% of exclusive breastfeeding at 2 weeks of age. This
hospital is in a socio-economic depressed area where formula feeding
had been the norm. It is a huge achievement for the staff and
community to change from a bottle feeding culture to a breastfeeding
culture.

Subject: Did anyone notice BMJ editorial in March 2019 or
am I the only one who missed it? "Calling Time on Formula Milk
Adverts: The BMJ and our sister journals will no longer carry ads for
Breastmilk substitutes by 5 editors. Nearly 40 years since the
introduction of an international code......after decades of
advertising breastmilk substitutes to readers of The BMJ, we have
decided it is time to stop. [!!!} This validates my research
"From Paper to Practice" 25 years ago about it takes practice 20-30
years to change. BMJ took 40. Gene Cranston Anderson's early
articles on Kangaroo Care were published in the late 1980's. Do you
have routine STS in your hospital? Do you have nurseries or rooming
in routinely? Sometimes I think we haven't made any progress and
then I see young mothers at my LLL meetings and hear them saying good
things that I wish I had known in the 60's!
I wonder if the AAP will ever give up breastmilk substitutes
money???? Pat in SNJ
