WORLD BREASTFEEDING PROTECTION DAY (May 21)

There is a saying that only in bad times we come to know who is really on our sides. We all sometimes in our life faced unfavorable conditions- in school, college, workplace, personal life crisis, etc. But what to say for those who are trying to take advantage of someone’s unfavorable conditions???? ‘emotionless, spineless, cruel, self-oriented, selfish’ or simply “VULTURES”.

At a personal level when we confront these types of people we felt so bad but now whole nation whole world is seeing them in this pandemic of corona -19 in the form of holders of oxygen, black marketing of medicines, unexceptional high prices of medical services by few healthcare institutions. Not only media is covering them but common persons are known to the fact.

There are some “VULTURES”, to whom no one is giving attention and these are “ formula milk companies”. yes this is right. Breastfeeding is a normal norm that provides food and nourishment to babies and prevents them from many diseases. According to an international study, annually, 100,000 child deaths in India could be saved if breastfeeding practices were adequate. breastfeeding can protect both mothers and babies with its antibodies in the covid-19 pandemic. But these vultures are always ready to attack this normal norm when they find it (breastfeeding) weak by trying to replace breastfeeding with formula milk and breaking the laws which are there to protect breastfeeding, the Infant Milk Substitutes Feeding Bottles, and Infant Foods ( Regulation of Production, Supply, and Distribution) Act 1992 and Amendment Act 2003. (IMS ACT)

Awareness among common people related to lactation is needed.
If a mother is covid-19 positive then are the queries related to breastfeeding should be answered by the health professionals and lactation consultants
Giving confidence and support to all the lactating mothers
Awareness of vaccination of covid- 19 in lactating mothers.
Lactation consultants in every maternity setup will be a great help for new parents to be aware, educated, and supported by them.

These are just a few primary suggestions to protect and support breastfeeding. A day or a week celebration is not enough to protect breastfeeding but constant efforts and policies are needed. Only then we can save it from the “VULTURES” who are always waiting for their chance to attack.

Fake News --vaccination and menstruation

Covid-19 is a new thing for the whole world. No one knows much about it. All information is gathered by observation and research on the small groups and then released. But many people assumes themselves few things and viral those on social media. Please don’t circulate anything without the evidence .

The vaccine has no relation with the menstruation. The vaccination drive started in India from 16 th January2021 and all the front-line workers had their both the inoculations. As we all know like any another field here also females are present in significant ratio and they all had their vaccination irrespective of their menstrual cycle with no complication recorded till date.

So please be aware of the fact and go for vaccination
Stay safe Stay healthy
Be vaccinated

19/01/2021

As we all are aware that COVID-19 vaccine rolled- out in the country (India) on 16th January 2021 and the States/UTs have already received vaccines for the same.

I was asked by many would be mothers and lactating women about the safety of the vaccine.

PREGNANCY and LACTATION are CONTRAINDICATION for the COVID-19 VACCINE.

These contraindications are because Pregnant & Lactating women have not been part of any COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial so far. Therefore, women who are pregnant or not sure of their pregnancy; lactating women should not receive COVID-19 vaccine at this time.

SPITTING UP IN BABIES.
----------------------------------

Hello dear parents

You all must have noticed that babies under 6 months age spits up regularly, mostly after having feeds. Many times they are having continuous hiccups. Sometimes they cry constantly for about 2 hours, usually in the evening.
At that time we look for help, a little worried and concerned but then the entry of our elderly people comes with lots of reassurance, home remedies, and the words.
Words like “ don’t worry baby is growing” or “it’s good for the health” or “baby is gaining the length” or" it’s common among babies of these group” etc -etc( believe me I also had this advice)

But the fact is-” this is common but not normal”. Just recall a day when you suffered from hiccups( I am sure everyone at least once in their lifetime had experienced bad hiccups). how you felt that time??? done with all types of home remedies. In the last don’t even remember how we get the relief. Now imagine the baby who is suffering from this(hiccups or spitting) in a day and many times in a month and also not able to tell that please help me it’s not normal.

Due to immature gut, babies feel few reflexes, sometimes due to trivial reasons like, sensitivity towards food taken by mom and sometimes serious reasons causes spitting in babies, hiccups, abdominal pain resulting irritable, fussy, crying and distressed baby. Sometimes home remedies are good but we should know the reason behind it as a little change in electrolytes, salt, and sugar content below 6 month age of baby can adversely affect their kidneys and liver.

If this is a case before passing a comment like -it's normal/ giving a home remedy do visit a lactation consultant or pediatrician for proper examination and to find the real cause behind it.

Once we are sure that there is no serious medical concern a little change in lifestyle, feeding position, diet change, etc and sometimes medicine can help our bundle of joy - the baby as well as it relieves a lot of pressure from feeding moms, and they can enjoy the motherhood -without any worries.

Happy feeding- Happy Baby.
