Dear Friends:
I saw a mother yesterday in my role as community health nurse. Besides
this new adorable baby boy, she has a 10-year old daughter, that was diagnosed
with IDDM at age 7 and also has had asthma since toddlerhood.
This mother started out breastfeeding in the hospital, but quit when
faced with the challenges of the milk volume increase. (She had bottle-fed her
first child, the daughter with IDDM and asthma.)
This mother would not consider breastfeeding at all, nor pumping milk
for this baby. She feels that the IDDM is genetic, and therefore can't be
helped, and that so many people have asthma so it must normal.
sigh..............
warmly,
