I agree, Sharon. Let's be professional and respectful. There are ways of
expressing our concerns which remain open to dialogue and change. If you
cannot imagine saying the things you need to say *in this way* to a
person, or if you don't see any possibility of changing your position if
you had more information (or even having a discussion), then take a
breath and think about a time you didn't have a chance to speak your own
truth. There's always a way of phrasing things to learn more and to
bring all people involved to a better place.

It was incredible to see 100+ moms, dads, and kids come together on a very
hot Sunday afternoon to celebrate and raise local awareness for
breastfeeding in our community!

Subject: Re: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Hi! Sylvia,
I am interested in the resource you mentioned.
I am wondering if many of the mothers that I see, who have very elastic breast
and nipple tissue, could have some kind of connective tissue disorder. It seems
that these women have a lot of Breast feeding problems.
I have 2 sons who have a condition that is related to Ehlers-Danlos
Syndrome--and I myself have orthostatic intolerance, which may have to do with
hyperelasticity of the blood vessels.
Thanks for your time!

Subject: Re: Listening to our patients
Dear all:
I just received this from my other listserve. I actually looked up this couple
thinking their names sounded familiar and indeed, they did their MPH at the same
time I was working on my MHS at Hopkins and we took some classes together. The
details are not as important as the over all approach of "listening to their
patients". I've also seen this work for Ministers of Health, heads of NGOs and
District Level Health Officers when trying to figure out how to motivate health
care workers at the community level. When they "listen to their workers"
progress is made. I am curious about what they did with the infant sleeping
bags. So while this is not directly related to breastfeeding, the overall
approach is.

Inspiration, Integration, and Impact.
September 14 & 15, 2010
Recipient of the 2010 Dory Storms Award, Dr. Abhay Bang, will be our keynote
speaker. Dr. Bang is one of the public health heroes of India who has been
working seamlessly to promote public health support and awareness in Gadchiroli,
one of the most challenging districts of Maharashtra bordering Chattisgarh and
Andhra Pradesh. He and his wife, Dr. Rani Bang, earned world recognition for
their work across hundreds of villages in Gadchiroli spanning nearly twenty-five
years. Both originally graduates in public health from the Johns Hopkins
University, they returned to India and concentrated their energies on solving
problems related to infant mortality, malnutrition and women’s health.
"We decided to listen to our patients," says Abhay.
Trained respectively as a physician and a gynecologist, their dream was to
develop an institution of community health that provided health care to the
local population, and generated knowledge for the global community by way of
research. They founded a trust they called the Society for Education, Action and
Research in Community Health (SEARCH). The mission of SEARCH is to work with
marginalized communities to identify their health needs, develop community
empowering models of health care to meet these health needs, to test these
models by way of research studies, and then to make this knowledge available to
others by way of training and publications.
They decided to tackle the stubbornly high child-mortality rate in the villages
they worked in and identified 18 causes of newborn death, from the obvious, like
malnutrition, to the surprising, like the habit of expectant Gond mothers
starving themselves and their unborn child for an easier birth. The Bangs found
no problems that couldn't be treated by a health worker with rudimentary skills,
some infant sleeping bags, and an abacus on which to record every 10 heartbeats.
So they drew up a health training program that they taught to a newly assembled
corps of village health workers. In 1999, the Bangs published the results of
their efforts, again in the Lancet. They had cut child mortality in half--a
figure that would fall to a quarter by 2003--for a cost of $2.64 for each child
saved. The program is being adopted across India, where more than a quarter of
the 4 million annual newborn deaths occur, and in Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
and parts of Africa.
In 2006, they started an the NIRMAN initiative---for identifying and nurturing
social change-makers in Maharashtra. They continue to live and work in
Gadchiroli, India where they provide medical care and conduct research in 100
villages. Inspirational teachers, the Bangs have mentored several generations of
community health practitioners.

Subject: Re: BF Method
Karen, I certainly see your point, and I had reservations about
bringing up my concerns, but where is the appropriate venue to discuss
blatant misinformation that is being marketed to new mothers by one of
our peers? It seems to me that only when something comes to the light
can there be change. Did you watch any of the videos? Perhaps you're
concerned that we're just picking on someone, but I can assure you
there are grounds for concern here. My feeling is that when someone
puts their information out in public, it is open to public scrutiny.

Subject: Re: Exclusive breastfeeding
After 25 years working in lactation, I recently went to work for WIC.
Aside from being generally impressed by the overall quality of the breastfeeding
material WIC is producing, there is one handout/poster in particular that I have
noticed makes a big impression on our participants.
We call it the "Legos" poster. Many times I have had someone say, as they sat
gazing at this poster, "I had no idea there were so many differences between
breastmilk and formula."
Kudos to whomever dreamed up this poster. You can see it here:
http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/wicworks/Documents/WIC-EdMaterials-HowDoesFormulaCompareToBreastmilk.pdf
Although this poster does not specifically warn parents about the dangers of
formula, it goes a long way towards putting breastmilk into context for parents.
