Praeclarus Press Clinics in Human Lactation: Breastfeeding the
Book SynopsisIn the first part of this well-referenced monograph, Marsha Walker, RN, IBCLC describes the late preterm infant, discusses contributors to late preterm birth, and explains the importance of the last six weeks of gestation. She discusses the impact of birth interventions on breastfeeding the late preterm infant and explains why mothers of late preterm infants may be at increased risk of delayed lactogenesis II. In the second part of the monograph, Walker discusses breastfeeding management guidelines for the late preterm infant. This includes issues the late preterm infant may face, such as hypothermia, hypoglycemia, respiratory instability, hypotonia, and immature feeding skills, and their impact on breastfeeding. She covers how to provide latch assistance, assess feedings at the breast, when to supplement, how to use bottles and artificial nipples, how to help others initiate and maintain maternal milk supply, and ways to optimize milk production. Walker includes information on individualized feeding plans for moms to follow after discharge, including a sample plan. This monograph is full of pictures, graphs, and resources and is a must-have for all healthcare providers who help mothers breastfeed late preterm infants.

Praeclarus Press Clinics in Human Lactation 14: Emotional and
Book SynopsisEmotional and physical trauma have a role in breastfeeding success. But even though a mother may know that breastfeeding is best, past abuse, physical trauma, or psychological impairment may affect a mother’s ability to initiate or continue breastfeeding. Since more than 20-25% of women have been sexually abused, 25% have experienced intimate partner violence, more than 50% of adolescent mothers have experienced childhood sexual abuse, with an untold number of mothers and babies who have experienced birth trauma, it is likely that all health providers who work with moms and babies have clients that have experienced some form of abuse. In Emotional and Physical Trauma and Its Impact on Breastfeeding Mothers, author Dianne Cassidy, IBCLC-RLC, ALC, describes the different kinds of trauma and discusses ways to work with these moms. Sometimes this means helping them breastfeed, other times this means supporting whatever feeding decision works best for them and their situation. At all times it includes listening to the mom, watching for red flags, asking questions, and building her trust. In this book Cassidy discusses childhood sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, birth trauma in the baby, and birth trauma in the mother and their possible impact on breastfeeding. She ends the book with a chapter on "Universal Principles of Biomedical Ethics" and how these ethics apply to health providers working with abuse and traumatized mothers and babies.

Praeclarus Press Clinics in Human Lactation 13: Supplementation of
Book SynopsisAre you working with a breastfed baby that needs to be supplemented? If you supplement with infant formula, what impact will the formula have on the baby, the mother, and the breastfeeding relationship? Does the baby really need to be supplemented with formula or are there better alternatives? Does the mother have plenty of milk, but just needs help with a breastfeeding problem, or does she need help to build her milk supply? Marsha Walker, RN, IBCLC, author of Supplementation of the Breastfed Infant: Criteria, Decisions, and Interventions, answers these questions and more! She describes why supplementation has become so commonplace, what it does to the gut flora of the breastfed baby, the future health problems caused by altering an infant's gut flora, and how supplementation impacts the breastfeeding relationship. Does giving the baby "just one bottle" really change gut flora? Walker describes research that has investigated this issue and the surprising results! But what if a baby really needs to be supplemented? Walker describes circumstances when supplementation of a breastfed infant might be necessary and how to supplement, doing as little damage to the breastfeeding relationship and the infant's gut flora as possible. If you are a health provider who routinely gives newborns supplemental formula, read this book and see if the evidence changes the way you practice. If you are a lactation professional who works to correct the "damage" done by "just one bottle," this book will provide you the evidence you need to discuss this issue with mothers, families, physicians, and hospital staff to change supplementation practices in your area.

Praeclarus Press Clinics in Human Lactation 12: Achieving
Book SynopsisAchieving Exclusive Breastfeeding is based on the United States Breastfeeding Coalition's (USBC) article by Dr. Miriam Labbok and Emily Taylor published in 2009. This volume is produced with permission from USBC, and is the product of the ongoing work of the two original authors, with important additions and insight from CGBI team member Kathy Parry. The authors have updated and revised the original monograph to address the ever changing breastfeeding environment, adding new resources, updating the breastfeeding research and advocacy discussions, and now offering summaries of selected ongoing programs supportive of exclusive breastfeeding. This revision highlights promising activities and programs in the U.S. that are helping eliminate barriers to achieving exclusive breastfeeding. This book covers: -The need to advance exclusive breastfeeding -Obstacles and opportunities for exclusive breastfeeding during the reproductive health continuum -Findings related to the obstacles, opportunities, current interventions, and gaps at eight time periods during the reproductive health cycle -Suggestions for innovative implementation to advance exclusive breastfeeding -The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding -Monitoring, evaluation, and research needs -Considerations for expansion, replication, and scaling up of activities -Next steps If you are involved in protecting, promoting or supporting breastfeeding, this volume will help you explore what others are doing. It examines the timing of interventions, addressing the life-cycle perspective, and offers insight from health, socio-political and media and marketing perspectives. This book will also give you facts and figures that may help garner support for your planned and ongoing activities, and provide you with ideas for the next steps you need to take to improve the impact of your efforts. Additionally, the annotated bibliography made available by the authors provides a user-friendly guide to the latest research related to exclusive breastfeeding in the U.S. and related settings. This bibliography is accessible via a link in the resource section. Kathy Parry, a new member of the CGBI team, has updated the annotated bibliography from the article for the book.

Praeclarus Press Clinics in Human Lactation - How Breastfeeding
Book SynopsisResearchers are discovering that breastfeeding is more protective of maternal health than previously imagined and that it dramatically lowers women's risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes during middle and old age--common causes of premature mortality. Previously, the health benefits of breastfeeding were mainly focused on the infant. New data suggests that breastfeeding may have life-long effects for both mother and baby. Psychoneuroimmunology is an emerging, interdisciplinary science that considers the ways in which the human mind and the immune system interact and influence each other. Over the past 40 years, a body of evidence clearly shows that stress and coping may produce changes in immunity. These changes can result in health effects that contribute to disease. In this book, authors Maureen Groer, RN, PhD, FAAN, and Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD, IBCLC, FAPA cover: -Why breastfeeding protects maternal health -Basic concepts of breast differentiation, lactogenesis, and lactation -Basic overview of the human stress response -Introduction to psychoneuroimmunology and the immunology of pregnancy and postpartum -Lactational stress resistance -Breastfeeding, mental health, and the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome -Breastfeeding and immunity -Implications of an anti-inflammatory response to enhancing the health effects of breastfeeding throughout women's lives This monograph provides the latest evidence on how breastfeeding and human milk are the biological norms for mother and baby, and how artificial feeding puts both at risk for health problems throughout their lives. It presents information on the science of psychoneuroimmunology and applies it to the maternal-infant breastfeeding dyad, presenting the latest evidence that will inform practice and, hopefully, policy.

Simon & Schuster Seeing Red The One Book Every Woman Needs to Read
Book SynopsisA world-renowned women's health expert reveals a bold, practical, and data-driven handbook for menstrual periods that provides an easy-to-navigate roadmap for improving your reproductive health-and your everyday quality of life. We've been lied to about periods. PMS, cramping, bloating, migraines, irritability, and anxiety may be extremely common, but contrary to popular belief, they aren't normal. And they certainly aren't just part of being a woman, despite the fact that this is what we've been told time and time again-by friends, family, and even doctors. After dedicating her entire clinical career to deconstructing the menstrual cycle, women's health expert Kirsten Karchmer knows better. During her more than twenty years of research and treating thousands of patients, Karchmer found that most period problems women experience-even the most painful ones-are totally correctable and more surprisingly reflective of overall health and fertility. In this forthright, spirited, and all

Book SynopsisFrom two of the world’s leading experts in endometriosis comes an essential, first-of-its kind book that unwraps the mystery of the disease and gives women the tools they need to reclaim their lives from it. Approximately one out of every 10 women has endometriosis, an inflammatory disease that causes chronic pain, limits life’s activities, and may lead to infertility. Despite the disease’s prevalence, the average woman may suffer for a decade or more before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Once she does, she’s often given little more than a prescription for pain killers and a referral for the wrong kind of surgery. Beating Endo arms women with what has long been missing—even within the medical community—namely, cutting-edge knowledge of how the disease works and what the endo sufferer can do to take charge of her fight against it.Leading gynecologist and endometriosis specialist Dr. Iri

Oxford University Press Integrative Womens Health Revised Weil Integrative Medicine Library
Book SynopsisIntegrative Women''s Health remains the only in-depth, broad-based reference on integrative women''s health written for health professionals. It helps providers address not only women''s reproductive health, but also conditions that manifest differently in women than in men, including cardiovascular disease, arthritis, HIV, depression, and cancer. The text presents the best evidence, in a clinically relevant manner, for the safe and effective use of herbs, vitamins, diet, and mind-body strategies alongside conventional medical treatments. As leading educators in integrative medicine, editors Dr. Maizes and Dr. Low Dog demonstrate how clinicians can implement their recommendations in practice, going beyond practical care to examine how to motivate patients, enhance a health history, and understand the spiritual dimensions of healing. In managing the patient, alternative therapies are never seen as substitutes for mainstream medical care, but always integrated into the overall regimen, and always subjected to the best available evidence. New to this second edition are chapters on environmental medicine and women''s reproduction, thyroid health, and lesbian health.Trade ReviewFeatured on Doody's Core Titles List for 2018The book is a beautiful synopsis of the medical options available to treat women's body/mind/spirit at all stages of life while incorporating the most current evidence in medicine. . .

Oxford University Press, USA Bioethics and Women Across the Life Span
Book SynopsisAll persons, while different from one another, have the same value: this is the author''s relatively uncontroversial starting point. Her end point is no uncontroversial: an ideal of justice as human flourishing, based on each person''s unique set of capabilities. Because the book''s focus is women''s health care, gender justice, a necessary component of justice, is central to examination of the issues. Classical pragmatists and feminist standpoint theorists are enlisted in support of a strategy by which gender justice is promoted.Two features of the book are unique: (1) the topics presented cover the entire life span of women, not just those related to reproduction; (2) a range of views about moral status are applied not only to fetuses but also to individuals already born. Attention to these features is intended to facilitate ethical consistency or moral integrity and respect for those who hold different moral views.While delineating and defending the book''s perspective, the first section provides an overview of bioethics, critiques prevalent approaches to bioethics and models of the physician-patient relationship, and sketches distinguishing aspects of women''s health care that are prevalently neglected. Positions about moral status are also present.The second section identifies topics that are indirectly as well as directly related to women''s health, such as domestic violence and caregiving. Brief cases illustrate variables relevant to each topic. Empirical and theoretical considerations follow each set of cases; these are intended to precipitate more expansive and critical examination of the issues raised.The last section is devoted to an egalitarian ideal that may be pursued through an ethic of virtue or supererogation rather than obligation. By embracing this ideal, according to the author, moral agents support a more demanding level of morality than guidelines or laws require.Trade Reviewone of the nice aspects of this book is the extensive body cases that Mahowald employs. While other works in medical ethics tend to either present an abundance of cases without any analysis or a small number of cases with extensive analysis, this book succeeds in giving us a text that achieves both a wide range of cases and analyses sufficient to stimulte thoughtful discussion. * Leah McClimans, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice *Mahowald succeeds in presenting a diverse series of bioethical issues relating to women's health.
