Breastfeeding : How Can The Drop Rate Be Improved?
By nathfiset
Breastfeeding statistics have recently been made public in the suburb region of Montreal, in Canada. Breastfeeding agencies were very pleased with the overall rate of a whooping 77% nursing rate at birth. The bad news is that the rate of women still breastfeeding their babies after 6 months was a disappointing 3%.
How can this tremendous drop be explained? What can we do to encourage and support breastfeeding after the first months of life? These questions and many more are being considered by organisms promoting breastfeeding.
The first explanation a local medical doctor has proposed is the way the rate of breastfeeding at birth is calculated. The simple question asked to the woman in labor is: do you want to breastfeed your baby? A yes, is then marked and accounted for as a woman breastfeeding her newborn baby.
This doctor says she has seen so many women giving-up on breastfeeding after sometimes only one five minutes try, that the 77% rate is highly inflated by the data collection system. Most women who stop nursing their babies will do so in the first week after birth. A repeat follow-up call would show a drastic drop in the overall breastfeeding rate after the first week.
How can we explain that so many women give-up on breastfeeding after only one week of trying?
The first answer may be that we need a better support fro breastfeeding mothers and more clinics where mothers can be re-assured and supported in their effort to breastfeed. Another very important step would be to have tangible supports for women who are nursing. Education of partners on how they can relieve their nursing wife would be greatly helpful.
Another answer forwarded by the family doctor who has delivered over 2500 babies in her career is that some women will answer that they want to breastfeed from the pressure applied by society. It is now “in fashion” to breastfeed and a new mother might fear to be judged if she does not breastfeed her baby. She then nurses but is tempted to give-up at the slightest set back.
“I have seen women giving-up on breastfeeding after a five minute tryout” says the doctor. “To me, it seamed clear that this mother felt more like she had to breastfeed her baby more than she wanted”, she concludes.
In answer to the question of how we can improve the drop rate of breastfeeding, the answers are multiple. Strong supporting groups and a loving spouse are the two most important factors. Making private areas readily available for nursing mothers are a must. Proper data collection is also needed to get a more realistic picture of the breastfeeding rate in North America.
A one week follow-up call or better yet visit is mandatory to get the more accurate rate of mothers who are still breastfeeding and helping the ones who need support.
“A stronger of the virtues of breast milk is also a must” continues this doctor who does medical mission in third world countries. “In such countries like Honduras and Bolivia where most citizens are poor, breastfeeding rates are above 95% until the baby is well over one year old. They have no other option than breastfeed and they strongly believe breast milk is the best food for their growing babies…and they are right!” concludes Dr Fiset with a smile.

<p>I’ve known this girl at work for a while… she’s just become single and we ended up together almost instantly. She’s perfect- so much of everything i’ve always looked for. I’m falling for her extremely hard, and she is the exact same way about me… but the issue is that she is 12 years older than I am. And she is not wanting any children in her life… I’ve told her that’s ok, that I can deal with it, and I can just to be with her- because she is really that perfect. The thing is…</p>
<p>I’ve always wanted to be somebody’s daddy.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/458001805" height="1" width="1"/>

<p>i feel like a ghost in my own life, i go hours and hours a day with no one to talk to and when my boyfriend finally comes home at night he ignores me and goes straight to the computer. having dinner with him is like eating with a zombie, driving in a car is hours of silence, there is no interaction because we have nothing in common and we are just too lazy to say fuck it.</p>
<p> we cant listen to music or watch movies because neither one of us have the same tastes, so we try to compromise by doing things that neither one likes. </p>
<p>all i want is someone who understands me and wants to talk to me at least once a month, is that too much to ask? i know there are many people out there who feel the same way, why do we have these problems? why arent people taught to communicate?</p>
<p>these poor teenagers who think sex will solve everything, it will make them closer, ensure that the other person loves them, and will stay with them forever. its all a farce, a relationship only survives because of communication, not sexual attraction.</p>

<p>I have sexual urges toward my classmate. I’m very much attracted to her. All the time I just want to kiss her, or hold her in my arms. I even got turned on once when I could see through her shirt one day. I really shouldn’t feel this way. She’s straight, and I’m not. I think she knows this, but…I just hate this. Purposely making up excuses to touch her. To at least put my hand on hers, lightly touch her shoulder, anything. </p>
<p>It’s just so annoying that I know she’ll never be mine.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457966525" height="1" width="1"/>

<p>I’m in love with you, and you’re in love with me, yet you won’t finalise our relationship.<br />
You’ve explained it and I’ve pretended to understand.<br />
I’ve been so in love with you for a year and a half now.<br />
You found out about your sickness, and I’ve stuck by you.<br />
You’ve had family problems, I’ve been right there behind you, getting you what you need and loving you. Reassuring you about everything.<br />
I’m tired of feeling unwanted.<br />
I’m tired of not understanding.<br />
I’m so in love with you still, and I show it everyday. Everyone knows.<br />
Why aren’t we together?</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457814413" height="1" width="1"/>

<p>People think I’m modest, because I’m always bringing attention to my many talents in a way that makes people think they notice it themselves. Then I pretend to be all humbled when they compliment me.<br />
I’m a very good liar and can act my way out of any situation, guilt-free, with an innocent, polite look on my face.<br />
In reality, I’m an arrogant, sarcastic jerk.<br />
Every once in a while I cry, because I know that no one will ever want to marry someone like the real me.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457764664" height="1" width="1"/>

<p>I say no to things i want to do, just so i can keep an image and brag about it. Then lay awake wondering what i missed.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457753914" height="1" width="1"/>
