Case for Conservation Natural nursing benefits moms and babies: | By ALENE N. CASE If you were offered a continuous source of free food that had all the nutrition you needed, would you refuse it? Of course not, especially if it were always served at the proper temperature, tasted good, and generally kept you from getting sick. But, many mothers are still choosing not to breastfeed their infants and are thus denying themselves and their babies the benefits of this free food. It is up to all of us to encourage mothers of all ages and economic means to breastfeed. Let me explain. There are so many advantages of natural nursing that I could never figure out why anyone would’ choose bottle-feeding. The most obvious advantages are the practical and economic ones. Except for special bras and perhaps some cotton handkerchiefs to use as bra pads, there is nothing to buy. Way back in 1976, bottle feeding led to a world-wide loss of $6 billion. Think what that figure must be in 1992! Human milk is always available. There are no bottles to sterilize or heat; no formula to mix. There are no worries about unsterile conditions or lack of refrigeration when one is traveling. One needs to purchase or prepare less babyfood since breastfeeding satisfies all ofan infant's nutritional needs during the first 4-6 months and 3/4ths of its needs up to one year. All of this saves energy and time. And the baby will be able to depend on its hunger being satisfied immediately instead of later. Not only is breastfeeding a source of free food, it is also excellent health insurance. It is no myth that babies who nurse are New Rep. George C. Hasay 117th Legislative District 542-7345 474-2276 477-3752 287-7505 generally healthier than those who take formula. If you need to be convinced of that, please read The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, fourth edition (1987). In addition to antibodies to various childhood diseases that the mother may have had, her milk contains active white cells like those in the blood which fight infection from a wide variety of bacteria and viruses. It also contains enzymes and proteins that prevent diarrhea, promote brain and nervous system development, and aid in the adsorption of minerals such as calcium and iron. Dr. Herbert Ratner rather drily comments that human breast milk “has had the longest clinical trial of any food ever made for the young.” Or, asJ. Ross Snyder wrote more humorously in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1908, “The deft manipulation of cow's milk to duplicate breast milk is not unlike the claim that by clipping its tail and ears one can so modify a calf that it can be substituted for a baby.” There are also advantages to the health of the mother. Suckling the baby within the first hour after delivery causes the uterus to contract, preventing excessive bleeding in most women. Prolactin, the so called “mothering” hormone, tends to help nursing mothers remain calm and cope with the difficulties of parenting a new-born. Frequent nursing also postpones ovulation and thereby provides natural child spacing by preventing early pregnancy for most women. And, there is considerable evidence that nursing for a year or more provides substantial protection against breast cancer. Why then do some women still opt for the bottle? I think it has a Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy Year Rep. George C. Hasay, daughter Rachel, and Nancy : great deal to do wiih | encouragement. Some husbands | feel threatened by or jealous of the | attention the baby is getting, | although there is nothing sexual | about the act of nursing. Others | feel that there is nothing for them | to do if they cannot help feed the | baby. Some grandmothers or well- | meaning friends advise against it | for a variety of reasons. I am told | that some nurses and doctors are still as ill-informed as they were in | the early 70's when we were sharing | our family. The La Leche League | was begun in the 1950's to help | mothers breastfeed in spite of such | discouragement. Their book | (mentioned above) has provided countless couples with the | information necessary to give their children the best start in life. American women are the role models for the rest of the world. If we use bottles and formulas, third world mothers will try to do likewise. This tendency has had tragic consequences over the past forty years. The most troublesome | problem is the lack of good water with which to mix formula. This, combined with the lack of preventive agents in the artificial milk, has made severe diarrhea a common cause of death among the varyyoung. It has alsomeant closer spacing of children leading, in turn, to overpopulation and deterioration in the health of the world's women. So, let us avail ourselves o nature's best. In doing so, we will not only be excellent parents but also stewards of earth's bounty. I you or someone you know needs more information on breastfeeding, contact the local La Leche League or leave a message for me at The Dallas Post and I will contact you as soon as possible. :
