ProMoM Announces Atlanta Nurse Out
Posted by: | CommentsProMoM Announces Atlanta Nurse Out
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 20, 2005
In conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week, volunteers with ProMoM (Promotion of MotherÂ?s Milk, Inc.) will organize local Â?nurse outsÂ? across the country. Local mother, Carrie Patterson, invites breastfeeding mothers to join her at Centennial Olympic Park on August 4th from 11:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. to nurse in public.
The Atlanta Nurse Out will begin at the Centennial Park fountains. Refreshments and several door prizes have been donated by local breastfeeding friendly businesses.
ProMoM hopes that by promoting breastfeeding through encouraging mothers to nurse in public, more people will accept breastfeeding as a natural everyday occurrence, and the normal way to feed infants and young children. They also want to support expecting mothers by showing them that it is possible to breastfeed in public discreetly and without anyone being embarrassed.
“Women shouldn’t have to choose between breastfeeding and having a life. They should be able to go anywhere and do anything, with their baby in tow, and they should be able to breastfeed their baby whenever and wherever they happen to be when the baby needs to be fed,” says anthropologist Katherine Dettwyler, PhD.
Nursing benefits both the child and the mother. On their website, ProMoM lists 101 reasons to breastfeed. Among them are: breast milk provides perfect infant nutrition, nursing helps mom lose weight after baby is born, and breast milk provides baby with immunities to diseases.
ProMoM has created a special feature area on their website
http://www.promom.org/nno with information about the Nurse Out, tips on breastfeeding in public, and links to information about breastfeeding.
The web site also offers a discussion board for nursing mothers, and tips on how to comfortably nurse in public.
More information about the Nurse Out can be found online at http://www.promom.org/nno or by emailing nno@promom.org.
ProMoM is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing public awareness and public acceptance of breastfeeding.

Bosom Buddies Rewards Donations in World Breastfeeding Week Celebration
Posted by: | CommentsBosom Buddies Rewards Donations in World Breastfeeding Week Celebration
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) August 2, 2008 -to-
mother support in mind, Bosom Buddies is celebrating the event with an invitation to all women to donate their clean, gently used nursing bras for women in need. To add to the fun, Bosom Buddies is adding Bronze, Silver and Gold level discounts on purchases to those who donate bras.
Women’s breast size changes more during pregnancy and breastfeeding than any other time in life. Being able to have good fitting bras during that time is an extra strain for women already struggling financially. The bras donated by moms no longer breastfeeding, or the bras that just don’t fit any more, will make another mom’s breastfeeding experience that much easier
To add to the celebration, Bosom Buddies will give a discount on any bras purchased at the time of donation: Bronze Discount of 10% off when 1 bra is donated; Silver Discount of 15% off when 2 bras are donated; and the Gold Discount of 20% off when 3 bras are donated. This discount-for-donation is also available for web customers with the purchase of a Try-the-Fit Kit™ online.
In addition, donation of a used double electric breastpump will also qualify for the Gold Discount of 20% off any bra purchase; or a Free Bosom Buddies’ Buyers Advantage card on the purchase of a new qualifying breastpump. (Honoring the manufacturers’ and the FDA’s recommendations that breastpumps not be reused, donated pumps will be used for research.)
“For many of us, a week is hardly enough time to properly celebrate something this important, so our celebration (taking donations and offering discounts) will continue throughout the month of August,” said Sue Petracek, lactation consultant and co-owner of Bosom Buddies with partner and breastfeeding supporter Ken Petracek.

Dr. Speron Agrees That Breastfeeding Does Not Create Sagging Breasts
Posted by: | CommentsDr. Speron Agrees That Breastfeeding Does Not Create Sagging Breasts
Park Ridge, IL (PRWEB) December 8, 2007
Yes, it’s true — breastfeeding does not create sagging breasts.
While the benefits of breastfeeding are unquestionable, many new mothers choose not to for fear of getting sagging breasts at some point in the future. However, according to a study recently released, breastfeeding alone has no impact on a woman’s breast shape. Dr. Speron agrees that breastfeeding does not create sagging breasts.
“There has been an explosion of breast augmentation and breast lifting procedures in the last few years,” says Dr. Sam Speron, plastic surgery expert and consumer advocate. “Many women who come in for corrective breast surgery complaining of saggy or less full breasts believe they are like this because they breastfed their children. Although the amount of sagging in the breasts has been proven to increase with each pregnancy, this study showed that breastfeeding does not worsen sagging. Some women may have been reluctant to breastfeed because of this urban legend that doing so means the end of youthful, perky breasts! Expectant mothers can now relax knowing that the act of breastfeeding does not in and of itself change the appearance of their breasts.”
The study examined 93 women who were pregnant one or more times prior to having cosmetic breast surgery. Fifty-eight percent of patients reported breastfeeding one or more of their children. The duration of breastfeeding ranged from 2 to 25 months, with an average of nine months. Fifty-five percent of respondents reported an adverse change in the shape of their breasts following pregnancy.
As the first study to examine what impacts breast shape in connection to pregnancy, plastic surgeons found that a history of breastfeeding, the number of children breastfed, the duration of each child’s breastfeeding or the amount of weight gained during pregnancy were actually not significant predictors for losing breast shape. However, the body mass index (BMI), number of pregnancies, larger pre-pregnancy bra size, a smoking history and age were all significant risk factors for an increased degree of breast sagging.
Over 103,000 women had breast lifts in 2006, up 96 percent since 2000, according to the ASPS. In addition, more than 329,000 women had breast augmentation, easily making it the top female surgical cosmetic procedure in 2006.
Breast milk provides many health benefits to infants. Research has shown breastfed infants have improved general health, growth and development as well as a lower risk of many acute and chronic illnesses than are their bottle-fed infant counterparts.
Dr Speron has been actively sharing this exciting revelation with his patients. Dr. Speron is the founder and medical director of the Park Ridge Center for Plastic Surgery. He is board certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery and an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Simplisse™ Delivers Major Advance in Expressing Breast Milk With the Gentle, Effective Double Electric Breastfeeding Companion™
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) October 7, 2010
Simplisse™, a U.S.-based manufacturer of breastfeeding products, has launched the Double Electric Breastfeeding Companion™, featuring next-generation technology that uses a gentle compression motion, unlike traditional breast pumps, which results in a comfortable milk expressing session for moms.
The Simplisse Double Electric Breastfeeding Companion’s compression technology simulates the comfort and benefits of a baby at the breast to naturally and gently elicit milk. The BabyFace™ Flexible Breastcups offer a dual-cup design where the inner cup simulates a baby’s suckling motion by mimicking baby’s mouth movements while the soft, pliable outer cup conforms to mom’s breast, much like a baby’s face. The breastcups work together to provide a gentle compression on the areola, combined with a light latch pressure – similar to that of baby – to make the expressing session feel much more like baby feeding at the breast.
“This is going to change the whole way moms look at expressing milk,” says Jennifer Meyer, a Simplisse test mom from Reno, Nevada. “It’s much more natural, much more in line with what babies actually do when they feed. At first I didn’t think it was working until I looked down at the bottle and saw milk flowing. This is a game-changer, I believe.”
Extensive testing was performed to ensure the effectiveness of the Simplisse Double Electric Breastfeeding Companion. In those tests, the average time to milk letdown and the average milk volumes were comparable to the data reported in the medical literature for other pumps.
“We are bringing a kinder, gentler approach to moms expressing their breast milk,” explains Dr. Jimi Francis, Ph.D., IBCLC and Simplisse Clinical Director. “The singular goal of developing this new technology was to make expressing milk as comfortable as possible for moms while ensuring that they are able to collect the milk they need for their baby.”
The Simplisse Double Electric Breastfeeding Companion allows expression from one breast at a time or both breasts at the same time. The Breastfeeding Companion also features speed and flow knobs, which allow mom to select the most comfortable and efficient settings for her needs.
The product also features a high-style tote bag, a request from the moms who helped design the product. The black micro-fiber shoulder bag has room for the motor unit and accessories, including a cooler pack, freezer gel packs, and wet storage bag – all in a discreet, purse-like design.
The Double Electric Breastfeeding Companion is the newest addition to the complete line of Simplisse breastfeeding products, including feeding accessories, milk storage products, skin care, breast pads and nutritional supplements for breastfeeding moms.
About Simplisse, Inc.
Simplisse, Inc. created the Simplisse Breastfeeding Companion and related breast care items to enhance the natural bond between moms and babies when breastfeeding. Simplisse was designed and engineered in the USA by a team of lactation consultants and moms.
The Simplisse line includes breast pumps, breastfeeding accessories, skincare products, and nutritional supplements. For more information, visit http://www.simplisse.com.

Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center in Daytona Beach Teaches New Moms the Art of Breastfeeding
Daytona Beach, FL (PRWEB) August 16, 2010
The BirthCare Center at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center (http://www.floridahospitalmemorial.org) is teaching new and expectant moms the art of breastfeeding their babies.
“Breastfeeding forms a beautiful bond between mother and baby,” says Susan Bekken, lactation counselor at the BirthCare Center at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center. “Breastfeeding also provides the baby with the essential nutrition the baby needs to grow healthy and strong.”
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) “Breastfeeding is the healthiest way to nourish our children. Mother’s milk provides protection for babies against infection. Breast milk also lowers a child’s risk of becoming obese or developing diabetes later in life.”
NIH also states that “Breastfeeding offers many benefits to nursing moms. Breastfeeding mothers have lower rates of certain kinds of cancers. Women who breastfeed also return to their pre-pregnancy weight more easily than women who bottlefeed.”
“If you are a new or expecting mom and would like to learn how to breastfeed, please contact us,” Bekken said. “Our BirthCare Center offers comprehensive breastfeeding and lactation training.”
Please visit Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center on the web at (w http://www.floridahospitalmemorial.org) or call the BirthCare Center at (386) 231-1400 to learn more.

International Board Certified Lactation Consultant Urges New Moms Not To Get Discouraged In Early Days Of Breastfeeding
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) September 5, 2008
Recently released government studies show that more than 75 percent of mothers initiate breastfeeding in the early weeks after birth. However, in the early days, moms may experience engorgement or swollen breasts, a temporary condition that can make breastfeeding difficult or uncomfortable.
Breastfeeding: Overcoming Initial Challenges
“Breastfeeding while engorged can be difficult since the baby can have a hard time properly latching on due to flattened nipples, but don’t let this discourage you,” says Rubina Mason, international board-certified lactation consultant and member of the Lansinoh Laboratories breastfeeding advisory board. If your breasts do become engorged, nursing frequently is a great way to alleviate this condition. If you find that your baby cannot latch on because of your swollen breasts, taking warm to hot showers can also help soften your breasts, allowing you to breastfeed more comfortably.
“You can also use the new Lansinoh LatchAssist,” advises Mason. “The LatchAssist gently draws temporarily flattened nipples out so baby can more easily latch on during the early days of breastfeeding.” After nursing, use an ice pack to help keep the swelling down and relieve the pain.
It’s also important to know that in the early weeks of breastfeeding, along with swelling and engorgement, your nipples can also be tender and sore. However, Mason adds, “Sore nipples are not inevitable during the early days of breastfeeding. Painful feedings are a signal that something is not right and you may need to make a change in your positioning or your baby’s latch-on technique.” In the meantime, if your nipples do become sore or cracked, Lansinoh® HPA® Lanolin can be applied to soothe, heal and protect the nipple skin. Lansinoh HPA Lanolin, the world’s purest and safest lanolin, is virtually odorless and contains no preservatives, no additives, no water, no chemicals, and no perfume, and most importantly, it is safe for the baby and therefore does not need to be removed before breastfeeding.
“In the early days of breastfeeding, you’ll have to keep working at getting your baby latched-on properly, even if it means gently taking the baby off the breast and starting over several times at the beginning of feedings,” explains Mason. Breastfeeding is natural but it does not always come naturally. By trying to get the baby’s latch perfected in the beginning of the process, mom can hopefully lessen any discomfort she may experience and have a rewarding and satisfying breastfeeding relationship with her baby.

Stevens Approach Successfully Repairs Inverted Nipples and Preserves Milk Ducts
Posted by: | CommentsStevens Approach Successfully Repairs Inverted Nipples and Preserves Milk Ducts
Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) June 18, 2005
A Southern California plastic surgeon renowned for his expertise on breast surgery has created an innovative technique for correcting inverted nipples. Approximately 2 percent of the female population suffers from inverted nipples and the deformity can aversely affect self-esteem, sexuality, and, in severe cases, the ability to breastfeed.
In the past, techniques to correct inverted nipples often sacrificed the milk ducts, causing too much damage to allow breastfeeding after the corrective surgery. While most women were happy to have their nipples corrected, the complete loss of the milk ducts was a steep price to pay. In addition, many procedures did not create lasting projection, over time the nipple would slowly begin to revert. New methods were needed to provide guaranteed results with fewer drawbacks.
Dr. Grant Stevens, a leading Southern California cosmetic surgeon and associate clinical professor at USC, saw the need for a better method. Dr. Stevens created an improved procedure and a special device called a Stevens Stent, which kept the nipple protected and in traction in the days following the surgery. The technique involved releasing the constricted milk ducts with lateral incisions that run parallel to the ducts themselves instead of dissecting them, thus creating the possibility for future breast feeding. The Stevens Stent offered added protection while keeping the nipple in traction, helping to facilitate correct healing and nipple aversion.
Dr. Stevens then decided to follow 21 patients who underwent nipple correction for one year.
Â?It has been a complete success,Â? said Dr. Stevens. Â?Of the women in the program, 100 percent of them have retained projection through the length of the study.Â? The successful correction of inverted nipples is quite reassuring to women considering corrective surgery. For those patients in their childbearing age, knowing that there is a possibility to retain the ability to breastfeed is also very important. Dr. Stevens’ approach offers excellent results and can have the women returning to their normal schedules and activities within a few days.
Inverted nipples are often congenital, caused by a small nipple base or constricted milk ducts. Inversion can also happen after childbirth, caused by milk ducts scarring due to breastfeeding. There are three levels of inversion: grade one inverted nipples can become projected when aroused or in cold temperatures; grade two inverted nipples can be averted manually, but projection does not last long and the nipples revert to inversion; grade three inverted nipples are impossible to avert manually and can cause other problems such as infection and rashes and inability to breastfeed. Women with grade one inversions can almost always breastfeed, but grade two inversions make breastfeeding more difficult and sometimes not possible.
Inverted nipple surgery is performed with the nipple in a forced averted position by placing a slight incision at the base of the nipple that goes to the milk ducts but does not invade the milk ducts. Once the milk ducts are exposed and the surgeon can determine which ducts or fibers are constricting and causing the inversion, vertical incisions are made into the nipple parallel to the milk ducts. While some of the milk ducts will be compromised, the technique is less invasive than other methods and most milk ducts are spared. An internal suture is placed at the 12:00 and 6:00 positions. Another suture goes from the 3:00 to 9:00 positions. This strengthens the nipple and eliminates “empty” space. The Stevens Stent, consisting of a medical cup and surgical gauze, is then put in place. The Stent keeps the nipple in traction and protects the surgical site as well. The Stent is kept in place for up to five days, when the doctor will remove it and any external sutures. The internal sutures are self-dissolving.
People with grade one or grade two are most likely to retain the ability to breastfeed. Grade three inversions typically do not allow for breastfeeding, but they couldnÂ?t breastfeed before the corrective surgery either. For these women, the ability to correct their nipples and do away with possible infections and rashes is well worth the effort.
Dr. Grant Stevens is an expert with breasts. The respected surgeon is highly sought after for breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction, so it is no surprise that he has pioneered innovative techniques for repairing nipples as well. By correcting the nipples to the normal projection, Dr. Stevens can help women feel better about themselves, their sexuality and their bodies. For more information on inverted nipples, Dr. Stevens has created a web site on Nipple Repair at http://www.nipplerepair.com with information on the surgery procedure and before and after photos.

The Udderly Yours? Breast Pillow Wins Second Consecutive Award For Outstanding Product
Posted by: | CommentsThe Udderly Yours™ Breast Pillow Wins Second Consecutive Award For Outstanding Product
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 22, 2005
GREAT FALLS, VA, November 22, 2005 – As the first product to address the need for hands-free nursing support, The Udderly Yours™ Breast Pillow has received its second consecutive award for product excellence. After thorough evaluation from real mom testers, the handheld breast pillow which received an iParenting award earlier this year, was also highlighted as the most innovative product and received the ‘Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award’ in the New Baby 2005 category. Designed by a mom to simplify the nursing process, the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow is a crescent-shaped cushion made of high density memory foam that supports and positions the breast upward so that moms no longer need to hold their breast while nursing their baby – ultimately providing a hands-free solution.
“Each mom was very impressed with the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow,” said Jodie Lynn, syndicated parenting/health expert, Parent to Parent, CEO/founder of http://www.AddingWisdomAward.com, the only award program to ever be honored by Disney! “We received three of the Udderly Yours Breast Pillows and all three were tested by regular moms who utilized them for breastfeeding. One mom, who thought she would not be able to breast feed, said it was amazing and she literally cried with joy. Those tears of testament say it all.”
Parent to Parent, an internationally syndicated parenting/family newspaper column, is owned by parent company Martin-Ola Press through which the best, safe and family friendly products for families are recommended and achieve worldwide recognition. The organization is associated with reputable outlets such as PBSKidsTV and Disney.com.
Committee members of Parent to Parent evaluated the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow against many other products geared towards new moms, and praised it for quality and innovation in addressing a very common problem that nursing moms deal with on a daily basis. Designed by a mom to simplify the nursing process, the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow is a crescent-shaped cushion made of high density memory foam that supports and positions the breast upward so that moms no longer need to hold their breast while nursing their baby – ultimately providing a hands-free solution.
Many women find breastfeeding to be an extremely challenging and frustrating endeavor since it often requires for moms to physically support their breast up during feeding in order to provide the best position for their baby. Although this is tiresome and painful to the wrist, it also makes it difficult for moms to focus on bonding with their baby and impossible to do other simple tasks like answering the phone. The Udderly Yours Breast Pillow provides the most comfortable and optimal breast position for nursing, and is conveniently sized so that moms can throw it in their purse or diaper bag and use it on the go.
“For years I have been helping moms with their breastfeeding needs in hopes of teaching them the best techniques, and ways to relax and bond with their baby during this very special time,” said Patty Dougherty, nurse educator who teaches breastfeeding classes to new moms. “One of the most common challenges we see is with the larger breasted moms who are frustrated with having to hold their breast up while nursing so that their baby can latch on successfully. Many people in my field recommend that moms roll up a towel to place under their breast for added support. This, however, has its own challenges since the towel doesn’t always stay in place, may cause pressure, and still doesn’t lift the breast to the best angle. I was impressed by the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow as it’s the first product I’ve seen that addresses a very common, yet highly problematic issue.”
Udderly Yours was established in 2004, and was founded by a mom to help women overcome common challenges they face with motherhood. Its flagship product – The Udderly Yours Breast Pillow – was designed for women who have to physically support their breast while nursing to give moms a much simpler and hands-free process in order to succeed with this endeavor. To learn more about or order the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow, visit http://www.udderlyyours.com.
Established in 1998, the Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award honors products of outstanding quality that support family values and now includes gifts for moms, dads, kids, and babies. Committees look for products that entertain and teach, inspiring imagination and creativity. Additionally, the Family Testers are interested in how products help children grow ethically, socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically. The Family Testers are real families who test and evaluate before final decisions are reached.
