When you need a little help when breast-feeding. Chosen for you. Recommended by hospitals and Lactation Consultants.

Those who decide to breastfeed are faced with a disturbing lack of good advice and "hands on" help. Their initial determination to breastfeed is too often lost ...in conflicting solutions being offered and not working. Something they at first imagined should be simple and natural turns out to be a distressing and frustrating experience which frequently ends in their rejecting breastfeeding entirely. This book is filled with new approaches to preventing problems and treating problems if they have already occurred. These approaches work because they have been tested for over 45 years of combined experience and with over 30,000 mothers and their babies. They are aimed at making breastfeeding work. This book covers questions which have stumped lactation consultants and doctors alike and which result in mothers frequently saying We tried everything, but I just couldn’t breastfeed. This usually means there was no one who could offer a real solution to a baby who was fussy, crying, rejecting the breast, not thriving and failing to gain weight or to sore nipples or the mother needing treatment. Frequently, the inability to provide real help is hidden in statements like It is important that the mother and baby are happy, don’t worry about breastfeeding. Even after years of helping mothers, some helpers still cannot tell by watching a baby breastfeed whether the baby is getting breastmilk. By reading this book, you will know how to know. Here are some of the questions you will find answered in this book: Why are there so many women having problems with breastfeeding? How does one start breastfeeding? Do mothers have milk in the first few days after birth or does milk come in later? What can be done to make breastfeeding work? Can premature babies be breastfed (at the breast)? Why is my baby rejecting the breast? Are modern formulas really similar to breastmilk? Is bottle feeding breastmilk really the same as breastfeeding? What is the real deal about tongue ties? Can mothers take medications and breastfeed? Can I restart breastfeeding if I stopped completely? When do I start my breastfed baby on food and how? Can I get pregnant when breastfeeding? When will my breastfed baby sleep through the night? Dr Jack Newman shares his expertise and experience of working at his Breastfeeding Clinic called The International Breastfeeding Centre in Toronto as well as Africa and Northern Canada, of listening to mothers and their stories and answering over a hundred emails from mothers every day. https://www.amazon.com/Breastfeeding-Empowering-Jack-New// See more

Breastfeeding and Maternal Medications and other treatments One of the most common reasons for mothers being told to stop or interrupt breastfeeding is for medi...cations the mother must take (and unfortunately, for medications that are unnecessary for her to take far too often). I will try to address some of the more obvious medications that are NOT a problem, because the medications do not get into the milk. I am frequently asked about treatments such as: 1. Botulinum toxin (Botox): Breastfeeding mothers are frequently told they cannot breastfeed if they receive Botox. Presumably because it is believed that the botulinum toxin will get into the milk. But for any medication, including Botox, to get into the milk, it must get into the mother’s blood first. But Botox must stay where it is injected, and must not get into the blood (dangerous for the mother), otherwise what’s the point of using it? So, it is safe for the breastfeeding baby. 2. In the same vein (sorry for the pun) are fillers used for cosmetic or medical reasons. These are made from hyaluronic acid and collagen, which are normally present in the body. There are other chemicals used as well. However, the issue is that the filler must stay where it is injected and thus cannot get into the milk because it doesn’t get into the blood. Again if the filler moves out of the area where it is injected, it’s not doing what it’s supposed to do. 3. Sclerosing agents. Most commonly, these are used for mothers wanting treatments for varicose veins or the tiny veins that many of us get in the legs as we age. Mothers are told they cannot breastfeed after these injections. But surely, the doctors that do these treatments understand that these sclerosing agents are very dangerous should they get into the mother’s blood circulation. And they don’t get into the mother’s blood circulation. Thus, they cannot get into the milk. 4. Corticosteroids injected into a joint, often the knee. First of all, corticosteroids taken by a nursing mother orally or by injection are not contraindicated during breastfeeding. We treat small children, even babies with oral or injected corticosteroids if necessary. But corticosteroids injected into a joint stay there and do not get into the mother’s blood stream, and thus do not get into the milk. 5. Most medications used on the skin are not absorbed into the nursing mother’s blood and thus are safe for the baby. 6. Nursing mothers are frequently told they cannot breastfeed for eye drops of any sort. But this is absurd. The cornea has no blood supply, though it is true that the rest of the eye does. But such incredibly small amounts would be absorbed from a drop or two, that it is just not a problem for the baby. 7. What about teeth whiteners? The enamel of your teeth has no blood supply. As a general rule, very few maternal medications are a problem for the baby because very little of the drug gets into the milk. The real question is which is safer for the baby, breastfeeding with minuscule amounts of drug in the milk, or artificial baby milk? Given the risks of not breastfeeding, both for the mother and the baby, the answer, in the vast majority of cases, is: breastfeeding with minuscule amounts of drug in the milk is safer for the baby.

How various medical specialties give poor advice on medications, procedures and breastfeeding-2 Radiology (breastfeeding-1 Ophthalmology posted January 20). The... photo below shows a CT scan of the brain. Mothers are frequently told they must stop breastfeeding if they get this test. NOT TRUE! In spite of bulletins published by the American College of Radiologists in 2001 (! only 19 years ago), that state that the breastfeeding mother does not need to interrupt breastfeeding, too many radiology departments follow the company that makes the contrast medium' s information that states that the mother needs to stop breastfeeding for 24 hours. Why does the company say that? To cover their bottom from medical legal law suits regardless of the need to do so. Why does the American College of Radiologist say the mother does not need to stop? Because they believe in good care and the importance of breastfeeding. What do most radiologist departments actually recommend? Stop breastfeeding for 24 hours. Some go even further and state the mother should stop for 48 hours. It is important to understand, which too many health professionals do not, that interruption of breastfeeding for 12 or 24 hours may result in breastfeeding difficulties for the mother and baby from then on. Even 6 hours could be a problem if the mother and baby's breastfeeding is already fragile. The statements that follow below and in the posts that will follow in the next days, are general only, and, of course, not every health professional is guilty of poor advice on medications and procedures during breastfeeding. BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS are frequently and wrongly told they cannot breastfeed after radiological procedures 1. I have been contacted on occasion by mothers who have been told they could not breastfeed after a chest X-ray. Yes, believe it or not, a plain ordinary every day chest X-ray. Happily, this does not occur every day, but reflects the attitude of the radiology department better safe than sorry. It's not safe! - Ordinary X-rays, without contrast could not do anything to the breastmilk. The X-rays pass through the body and, yes, give a photo of the area X-rayed, but are gone. 2. For CT and MRI scans with contrast, here are bulletins from a European radiological association, the American College of Radiologists, and a short article by me that mentions the bulletins of the American College of Radiologist. Canadian Family Physician 2007 https://www.dropbox.com//Canadian%20Family%20Physician%202 In this article, I discuss the American College of Radiologists who add to their reasonable, thoughtful statement that there is no need to interrupt breastfeeding. But then they muddy the waters by stating that if the mother is worried she can interrupt breastfeeding for 24 hours. How weird is that? She doesn’t have to interrupt breastfeeding, period. If the radiologist told her that, without if ands or buts that she does not need to interrupt breastfeeding, why would she be worried? And how on earth did they come up with 24 hours if there is no need to stop in the first place? Why not 48 hours? Why not 6 hours? Why not think about what you say? American College of Radiologists https://www.dropbox.com//l/Radiology-contrast-agents.docx Radiology EU MRI CT https://www.dropbox.com//ja9xqqnp/Radiology-EU-MRI-CT.doc 3. What about procedures with radioactive isotopes? Won’t the baby get some of the radioactivity? Yes, it’s possible the baby will get tiny amounts of radioactivity (physicians are sadly unaware of how very little of any sort of drug or tracer actually gets into milk). Most radiology departments state the mother will need to stop breastfeeding for at least 24 hours and even longer. But remember that children often have such radioactive procedures with radioactive isotopes and would get much more radioactivity with these procedures without everyone worrying about it. Stopping breastfeeding for at least 24 hours could be the end of breastfeeding for many mothers and babies and the risks of not breastfeeding outweigh the risks of the tiny amounts of radioactivity that would pass into the milk. And there are options. For example, a CT pulmonary angiograms, to rule out a clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolus) can replace V/Q scans (using a radioactive tracer). And CT or MRI scans can be done instead of bone scans. Want to learn more about maternal medications and breastfeeding? See our eBook "Breastfeeding: Empowering Parents".
