CDC: Delayed Breastfeeding Increases Rotavirus Vaccine Effectiveness

Jennifer Lance — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:55:23 +0000

When my son was recovering from open heart surgery as an infant, another child came down with rotavirus in the NICU. The nurses wanted us to trade places with this child and swore a “hard clean” would take care of killing the virus. I refused to move. My son had not been vaccinated for rotavirus, [...]

I am one of those consumers that assumes USDA certification means more than just growing foods without pesticides and herbicides. I assume that it includes ethical treatment of animals and zero genetically-modified organism (GMO) ingredients. I know these assumptions are just that, and the latest news from the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) confirms it. There [...]

Should Formula Ads be Restricted like Tobacco?

Jennifer Lance — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:25:24 +0000

Advertising works. It sells products; it influences public opinion. When marketing tactics counter healthy living, often government interferes, such as the regulations on tobacco advertising. A new study reveals that infant formula ads reduce breastfeeding rates, thus begging the question: Should formula ads be restricted like tobacco? The Globe and Mail reports: Advertisements for infant formula [...]

Prolonged breastfeeding study: “Fat energy contribution of breast milk to the infant diet might be significant” > 1 year

Jennifer Lance — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:54:35 +0000

A common belief about extended breastfeeding is that the quality of a mother’s milk declines the longer her child continues to nurse.
