La Leche League GB introduces 3 new publications Caesarean Birth and Breastfeeding, Supporting a Breastfeeding Mother and My Baby Needs More Milk
Nottingham, UK (PRWeb UK) April 2, 2009
La Leche League GB is pleased to announce the publication of the new information sheets:
Caesarean Birth and Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding completes the normal, natural cycle of pregnancy, labour and birth. During pregnancy a mother’s body is preparing to give birth and her breasts are getting ready to feed her baby. A caesarean birth interferes with these natural processes and may make establishing breastfeeding more of a challenge. However, many mums do successfully breastfeed after a caesarean birth.
Not only is breastfeeding the normal, natural and healthy way to feed a baby–it can give a mum who has experienced a caesarean birth renewed confidence in her body’s abilities. The close physical contact can also help her feel better emotionally. Breastfeeding helps the womb to contract, resulting in quicker healing. And it’s nature’s way of ensuring a mum spends time sitting or lying down, resting and recovering.
This information sheet provides detailed information a mum needs to help get breastfeeding off to a good start, with suggestions for before, during and after a caesarean birth.
Supporting a Breastfeeding Mother
Families need time to adjust after the arrival of a baby. Even experienced mothers can have difficulties juggling the needs of the new baby with those of older children. At this time a pair of practical helping hands can make a significant difference by allowing a mother time to recover from the birth and establish breastfeeding.
This information sheet offers practical tips for anyone supporting a breastfeeding mum and provides answers to questions supporters frequently ask.
My Baby Needs More Milk
Although most mothers are able to produce enough milk for their babies’ needs, a mother may have concerns about her own supply. Perhaps she and her baby had a difficult start or were not given the support they needed to establish breastfeeding. Or all may have seemed to be going well until the baby’s weight gain pattern faltered. Sometimes well-meaning people sow the seeds of doubt in a mother’s mind. And if a baby is fussy, wants to feed much of the time, seems small, or gains weight slowly, it can be easy for a mother to believe she doesn’t have enough milk.
This comprehensive A3 Information Sheet from LLLGB is an invaluable tool for helping a mother assess if her baby is getting enough milk and describes in detail the steps she can take should she need to increase her milk production. Where supplements are needed while a mother works to improve her milk supply, My Baby Needs More Milk provides essential information on how they may be given alongside breastfeeding and how to return to full breastfeeding once supplements are no longer necessary.

Breastfeeding for health
Recent research has increased the knowledge of the health risks to both mother and child from not breastfeeding. Babies who are not exclusively breastfed for the first six months have an increased risk of:
Gastrointestinal conditions
Chest infections
Ear infections
Obesity
Developing diabetes
Having a heart attack in later life.
Breastfeeding protects against infection and allergies. Women who breastfeed have a reduced risk of osteoporosis, breast and ovarian cancer and find it easier to return to their normal weight after the birth.
Breastfeeding for well-being
La Leche League believes that breastfeeding, with its many important physical and psychological advantages, is best for both a mother and her baby, and is the ideal way to initiate good parent-child relationships. The loving help and support of the baby’s father enables the mother to focus on mothering so that together parents can develop close relationships that strengthen the family and thus the whole fabric of society.
La Leche League has been offering breastfeeding help, support and encouragement to women for over 50 years. We provide monthly support meetings, telephone counselling, leaflets and up-to-date information. For details of local groups visit our website http://www.laleche.org.uk or phone our national helpline 0845 120 2918. LLL’s trained counsellors (Leaders) are volunteers working from home while caring for their own families.
Editor’s notes:
La Leche League (LLL) was founded in 1956 by seven mothers who wanted to make breastfeeding easier and more rewarding for both mother and child. The organisation continues to provide information and encouragement–primarily through personal help–to women who want to breastfeed their babies.

LLL International is a major publisher of breastfeeding and parenting books. LLLGB sells these and other books through its trading subsidiary, LLLGB Books (http://www.lllgbbooks.co.uk)
LLL International is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in consultative status with UNICEF, in official relations with the World Health Organisation (WHO), and is a founding member of the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA).

Birth Of Baby
Posted by: | CommentsBy nature, the male organ ejects sperms and the female organ produces eggs. Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovaries. Normally, in women who haven�t reached menopause, ovaries release an egg once a month. This is known as ovulation. This egg travels through the fallopian tube toward the uterus. When the male sperm reaches the egg in the fallopian tube, fertilization occurs. The fertilized egg continues its movement towards the uterus, implants itself in the uterine wall and begins to develop into an embryo. Embryo is the earliest manifestation of all humans. The woman becomes pregnant, and it takes nearly 9 months, that is, three trimesters of 12 weeks, for the infant to be born.
How Treat A New Born Baby,Visit http://www.healthuse.com/2009/06/birth/
Pregnancy causes a number of changes in a woman�s body in the first trimester (0 to 12 weeks). The very first change is the absence of menstruation. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea and vomiting and enlarging breasts. However, a woman having these symptoms isn�t necessarily pregnant. The surest way to confirm pregnancy is a pregnancy test.
In the second (weeks 13 to 24) and third trimesters (weeks 25 to delivery), a woman may experience additional symptoms including an expanding abdomen, leg cramps, heartburn and hemorrhoids. These symptoms and changes are due to pregnancy hormones and the fetal growth. Although pregnancy involves a number of symptoms and changes in a woman, there is no way to predict which symptoms a woman will experience. Each pregnancy is different, even in the same woman.
By the end of the first trimester, the fetus is about three inches long and weighs about half an ounce. By the end of the third trimester, the fetus is about 20 inches long and weighs about seven pounds.
