This book was released on 2016 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and infants have been well established in the literature, as have pervasive racial disparities in breastfeeding initiation and duration. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding to 6 months of age, and Healthy People 2020 aims to have 60.6% of all infants exclusively breastfed to 6 months of age. A review of existing literature revealed a dearth of research focused specifically on the breastfeeding beliefs or behaviors of low-income, African American women. Reported studies are either atheoretical or utilize health behavior theories focusing on individual-level factors. Little attention has been paid to the unique sociocultural context within which this population is situated. Further, many existing breastfeeding interventions were not specifically designed for low-income African American women, and therefore may overlook their unique barriers to breastfeeding. Taken together, critical feminist theory and a social cultural model could provide a more comprehensive, culturally grounded framework from which to understand breastfeeding disparities, and to begin working to address them. Utilizing these two theories, a multi-phase, mixed methods research study was designed to identify breastfeeding barriers and supportive factors for low-income African American women, and to help empower them to meet their breastfeeding goals through the design and testing of a breastfeeding assessment process. Phase 1 utilized a community-based participatory action research methodology called group model building to answer the following research question: How do low-income, pregnant and postpartum African American women describe breastfeeding within their socio-cultural context, including factors that help or hinder breastfeeding? In Phase 2A, the set of statements that emerged from Phase 1 activities were evaluated by breastfeeding scholars and practitioners for inclusion in a set of Q-sort cards. These cards formed the foundation of a Dynamic Breastfeeding Assessment Process (D-BAP). In Phase 2B, the D-BAP was tested with a sample of lactation specialists and pregnant women to answer the research question: What would an assessment process look like if it were informed by the perspectives of the women as captured in the model building process? Finally, in Phase 3 the D-BAP underwent feasibility testing. Mixed methods were used to answer two research questions: 3A. How do pregnant, low-income African American women experience the culturally grounded Dynamic Breastfeeding Assessment Process? 3B. When the Dynamic Breastfeeding Assessment Process is delivered, is there a measurable difference in breastfeeding self-efficacy and intent among pregnant, low-income African American women? Completion of the D-BAP was hypothesized to be associated with increased breastfeeding intent and higher levels of breastfeeding self-efficacy. A pre-post, paired-samples design was utilized in Phase 3. The Phase 1 and 2 activities successfully resulted in a testable Dynamic Breastfeeding Assessment Process. In Phase 3, women who participated in the D-BAP demonstrated a statistically significant increase in breastfeeding self-efficacy, but not in their breastfeeding intent. The qualitative and quantitative findings from this study can inform future research, particularly as it pertains to supporting low-income African American women to meet their breastfeeding goals: a critically important public health and social work goal.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective The purpose of the mixed methods study was to compare barriers and facilitators encountered by low-income African American women who engaged in different infant feeding practices. Methods Using the positive deviance approach and modified Integrated Model as theoretical frameworks, the research began with a qualitative study that informed a survey examining intention, skills, and environmental factors differentiating women's infant feeding practices. Results Twenty-eight and 190 low-income African American adult women participated in focus groups or interviews and a survey, respectively. In the qualitative study, positive deviants, who breastfed for at least four months, seemed to have stronger breastfeeding intentions, self-efficacy and breastfeeding support than other women. In the final multinomial multiple logistic regression, for a one unit increase in the PBC scale of the revised Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool, there was a 50% (OR 1.5[1.3-1.7]) and an 18% (OR 1.18 [1.03-1.3]) increase in the odds of breastfeeding at least three months (positive deviance) compared to only formula-feeding and breastfeeding for less than three months, respectively. Women who did not smoke postpartum were 4.3 [1.5-12.3] and 5.6 [2.1-15.1] times as likely to be positive deviants; women who had C-sections were 3.6 [1.3-9.6] and 2.9 [1.0-7.8] times as likely to be positive deviants compared to only formula-feeding and breastfeeding for less than three months, respectively. Women who ranked WIC full breastfeeding packages as most valuable were 14.9 [4.8-45.5] and 16.1 [5.3-50.0] times as likely to be positive deviants compared to only formula-feeding and breastfeeding for less than three months, respectively. Discussion High breastfeeding self-efficacy was associated with positive deviance, although the qualitative study findings suggested that general self-efficacy may also influence breastfeeding success. The likelihood of not smoking being associated with longer duration of breastfeeding is consistent with previous research. The C-section results may reflect a longer length of hospital stay leading to increased mastery of breastfeeding prior to discharge. Analysis of participants' valuation of WIC infant feeding incentives led to the suggestion that WIC incentives be re-examined. Further exploration of these findings and subsequent interventions may lead to improved breastfeeding rates among low-income African American women.

Download or read book Breastfeeding on a Nickel and a Dime written by Nancy Ehrenreich and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (also known as “Obamacare”), Congress passed a new law requiring employers to provide accommodation to working mothers who want to express breast milk while at work. This accommodation requirement is a step forward from the preceding legal regime, under which federal courts consistently found that “lactation discrimination” did not constitute sex discrimination. But this article predicts that the new law will nevertheless fall short of guaranteeing all women the ability to work while breast feeding. The generality of the act's brief provisions, along with the broad discretion it assigns to employers to determine the details of the accommodation to be provided, make it likely that class- and race-inflected attitudes towards both breast feeding and women's roles will influence employer (and possibly judicial) decisions in this area. Examining psychological studies of popular attitudes towards breast feeding, as well as the history of women's relationship to work, the author concludes that the influence of cultural attitudes on interpretations of the Act is likely to have a disparately negative impact on low-income women, perhaps especially those who are African-American. In short, the new law is likely to help produce a two-tiered system of breast feeding access, encouraging employers to grant generous accommodations to economically privileged women, while increasing the social pressure on low-income women to breast feed, without meaningfully improving their ability to do so.

Download or read book The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For nearly all infants, breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition and immunologic protection, and it provides remarkable health benefits to mothers as well. Babies who are breastfed are less likely to become overweight and obese. Many mothers in the United States want to breastfeed, and most try. And yet within only three months after giving birth, more than two-thirds of breastfeeding mothers have already begun using formula. By six months postpartum, more than half of mothers have given up on breastfeeding, and mothers who breastfeed one-yearolds or toddlers are a rarity in our society. October 2010 marked the 10th anniversary of the release of the HHS Blueprint for Action on Breastfeeding, in which former Surgeon General David Satcher, M.D., Ph. D., reiterated the commitment of previous Surgeons General to support breastfeeding as a public health goal. This was the first comprehensive framework for national action on breastfeeding. It was created through collaboration among representatives from medical, business, women's health, and advocacy groups as well as academic communities. The Blueprint provided specific action steps for the health care system, researchers, employers, and communities to better protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. I have issued this Call to Action because the time has come to set forth the important roles and responsibilities of clinicians, employers, communities, researchers, and government leaders and to urge us all to take on a commitment to enable mothers to meet their personal goals for breastfeeding. Mothers are acutely aware of and devoted to their responsibilities when it comes to feeding their children, but the responsibilities of others must be identified so that all mothers can obtain the information, help, and support they deserve when they breastfeed their infants. Identifying the support systems that are needed to help mothers meet their personal breastfeeding goals will allow them to stop feeling guilty and alone when problems with breastfeeding arise. All too often, mothers who wish to breastfeed encounter daunting challenges in moving through the health care system. Furthermore, there is often an incompatibility between employment and breastfeeding, but with help this is not impossible to overcome. Even so, because the barriers can seem insurmountable at times, many mothers stop breastfeeding. In addition, families are often unable to find the support they need in their communities to make breastfeeding work for them. From a societal perspective, many research questions related to breastfeeding remain unanswered, and for too long, breastfeeding has received insufficient national attention as a public health issue. This Call to Action describes in detail how different people and organizations can contribute to the health of mothers and their children. Rarely are we given the chance to make such a profound and lasting difference in the lives of so many. I am confident that this Call to Action will spark countless imaginative, effective, and mutually supportive endeavors that improve support for breastfeeding mothers and children in our nation."--Page v.

Book excerpt: Born into a tenant farming family in North Carolina in 1946, Mary Louise, Mary Ann, Mary Alice, and Mary Catherine were medical miracles. Annie Mae Fultz, a Black-Cherokee woman who lost her ability to hear and speak in childhood, became the mother of America's first surviving set of identical quadruplets. They were instant celebrities. Their White doctor named them after his own family members. He sold the rights to use the sisters for marketing purposes to the highest-bidding formula company. The girls lived in poverty, while Pet Milk's profits from a previously untapped market of Black families skyrocketed. Over half a century later, baby formula is a seventy-billion-dollar industry and Black mothers have the lowest breastfeeding rates in the country. Since slavery, legal, political, and societal factors have routinely denied Black women the ability to choose how to feed their babies. In Skimmed, Andrea Freeman tells the riveting story of the Fultz quadruplets while uncovering how feeding America's youngest citizens is awash in social, legal, and cultural inequalities. This book highlights the making of a modern public health crisis, the four extraordinary girls whose stories encapsulate a nationwide injustice, and how we can fight for a healthier future.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between race and infant feeding attitude on the decision to breastfeed and breastfeeding initiation in African American and Caucasian women. The secondary purpose of this study was to examine the perceived cultural influences on infant feeding decisions and breastfeeding initiation. A descriptive non-experimental mixed-methods design was used in this study to examine the relationship between race and infant feeding attitudes on the decision to breastfeed and breastfeeding initiation in African American and Caucasian women. This study used a convenience sample and participants were recruited at prenatal classes from three different geographical locations in North Carolina. A Prenatal Data Collection Tool was used to gather demographic data and information about intended feeding patterns. The Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale was used to measure the variable of infant feeding attitudes. In addition to the instruments used for this study, an open ended question about culture was included as part of the survey Participants were contacted by the researcher after discharge by phone to determine breastfeeding initiation. Results suggest that race was not a significant variable and there is no difference in infant feeding attitude scores between African American and Caucasian women in this study. There was also no difference in the relationship between decision to breastfeed and breastfeeding initiation in African American and Caucasian women. Infant Feeding Attitude was found to be a predictor of decision to breastfeed and breastfeeding initiation. Study findings will be used to assist healthcare providers in understanding the relationship between infant feeding attitude and breastfeeding practices that may affect the disparity that exist in the breastfeeding practices of African American women."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This book was released on 2016-08-06 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) began 40 years ago as a pilot program and has since grown to serve over 8 million pregnant women, and mothers of and their infants and young children. Today the program serves more than a quarter of the pregnant women and half of the infants in the United States, at an annual cost of about $6.2 billion. Through its contribution to the nutritional needs of pregnant, breastfeeding, and post-partum women; infants; and children under 5 years of age; this federally supported nutrition assistance program is integral to meeting national nutrition policy goals for a significant portion of the U.S. population. To assure the continued success of the WIC, Congress mandated that the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reevaluate the program's food packages every 10 years. In 2014, the USDA asked the Institute of Medicine to undertake this reevaluation to ensure continued alignment with the goals of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This, the second report of this series, provides a summary of the work of phase I of the study, and serves as the analytical underpinning for phase II in which the committee will report its final conclusions and recommendations.
