Dear Friends:
This is a lovely new study, showing that milk from mothers lactating a year or more has increased fat and energy contents. Amazing! I assume that mothers who were lactating longer than one year were not the sole source of their infant's intake; the breasts were in autocrine mode by then.
The study is small, 34 mothers who were lactating more than one year. The control group was 27 mothers who had been lactating for 2-6 months.
warmly,

Subject: State Government Breastfeeding Initiatives
Aloha,
I am working in Hawaii with a coalition of breastfeeding advocates
on a proposed Hawaii
Breastfeeding Initiative. The government officials are interested in
what other states have
done with this issue.
I would like to request information from States and Lactation
Consultants regarding
State Departments of Health that operate Breastfeeding Initiatives and
how these are funded.
Please include contact persons and email &/or phone numbers so that I
may contact them
to discuss my/our questions further with them.
Can you help me/us?
Appreciate it greatly.
Pat Bilyk, RN, IBCLC
President, Breastfeeding Promotion Council of Hawaii

Subject: Disaster relief. Off topic.
For anyone who wishes to help financially with the current United States
Disaster relief effort. Here is a listing of relief agencies, from the New
York Times. This is a horrible disaster, beyond the scope of my
imagination....and it makes me think of those who are in disaster situations
in other countries, in similar or even worse circumstances. Peace. Kathleen

Subject: More disturbing reports from Louisiana
One report showing a NICU commented that it was actually a blessing that the air
conditioning was out because it helped keep the infants warm enough.
Why aren't they skin to skin with their mothers??? (Assuming their mothers have
survided and can get to the babies, but wouldn;t it have been nice if they had
been with them all along.)

Subject: Re: Breastfeeding during emergencies (e.g., Katrina)
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH 6 MONTHS! (yes I am shouting!) and the younger the baby
the sooner milk supply will be established (this is also incorrect, it's
basic physiology that the more frequently the breast is emptied the quicker
relactation proceeds and there may weel be a correlation with age but what
is written is misleading.
Sigh!!
I think it's great that this press release has been put out but it's so
frustrating to read such misinformation!

> If a mother has not just recently given birth, but it is up to six
