Every year more than 4.3 million women have babies in the United States. Over 75% of these women try to breastfeed their babies, most finding it difficult and often ending in tears. In a cry for help and support, 82% of all moms are still searching for answers on how to feed their newborn babies six weeks out. Despite what most people think, breastfeeding does not come naturally, it has to be learned and most women are starved for information and support. Many feel guilty, alone and let down when they turn to bottle feeding and find nobody is there to help them. Why aren’t mothers being supported? Why as a nation are we letting these women down? At last two mothers come to the rescue lending realistic advice for the modern mom. They offer their knowledge, encouragement and support, with the expertise of real moms from around the world. This book is not a medical how to book, it’s a book written by real moms for moms, the women feeding our future.

Breast Feeding & Post Natal Depression

NEW STUDY FROM UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER ON BREAST FEEDING & POST NATAL DEPRESSION

The commonly held belief that mothers suffering from post natal depression will not be able to breastfeed has been challenged by research from the University of Leicester, which also suggests that the manner in which current breastfeeding promotion strategies are communicated may contribute to feelings of guilt and fears of inadequacy by mothers suffering from depression.

These results arise from research carried out by Ellen Homewood, Alison Tweed and Jon Crossley of the Department of Clinical Psychology at the University, and Michelle Cree of the Derbyshire Mental Health Services NHS Trust.

They found that mothers with post natal depression felt occluded in their attempts to meet their infants' demands for sustenance and nurturance. These feelings seemed to be triggered by experiences of feeding, as it represented a central aspect of the women's interaction with their infants.

In some cases, breastfeeding contributed to depression by increasing women's sense of being trapped by the dependency of their babies at the expense of their own well-being, and intensifying their feelings of responsibility for keeping their babies alive.
