World Breastfeeding Week 2009

Breastfeeding is a shield that protects infants in an emergency"
The World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) is the greatest outreach vehicle for the breastfeeding movement, being celebrated in over 120 countries. Officially it is celebrated from 1-7 August. However, groups may choose other dates to make it a more successful event in their countries.
Breastfeeding: A Vital Emergency Response
Are you ready?

OBJECTIVES of WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK 2009

• To draw attention to the vital role that breastfeeding plays in emergencies worldwide.
• To stress the need for active protection and support of breastfeeding before and during emergencies.
• To inform mothers, breastfeeding advocates, communities, health professionals, governments, aid agencies, donors, and the media on how they can actively support breastfeeding before and during an emergency.
• To mobilise action and nurture networking and collaboration between those with breastfeeding skills and those involved in emergency response.

RATIONALE

• Children are the most vulnerable in emergencies – child mortality can soar from 2 to 70 times higher than average due to diarrhoea, respiratory illness and malnutrition.
  Breastfeeding is a life saving intervention and protection is greatest for the youngest infants. Even in non-emergency settings, non-breastfed babies under 2 months of age are six times more likely to die.
• Emergencies can happen anywhere in the world. Emergencies destroy what is ‘normal,’ leaving caregivers struggling to cope and infants vulnerable to disease and death.
• During emergencies, mothers need active support to continue or re-establish breastfeeding.
  Emergency preparedness is vital. Supporting breastfeeding in non-emergency settings will strengthen mothers’ capacity to cope in an emergency.

Meetings for Breastfeeding Mothers in Bangkok

Announces its second meeting

Of the series of meetings for Breastfeeding Mothers in Bangkok

“Adjusting to life with a new baby"

Thursday, July 2th – 2009, from 9:30 am to 11:30am

at Ladybird International Kindergarten (21 Soi Promsri 2 - Sukhumvit 39)

This meeting focuses on the first six weeks and offers tips to make transition into being a family as smooth as possible.

Breastfeeding is a simple and natural process but you may need support and information on the correct positioning of the baby at the breast, working and breastfeeding, avoiding problems and overcoming any difficulties that may occur.

Knowing other mothers who have breastfed their babies can be helpful and reassuring. Having accurate, up-to-date information is also important.

Attending La Leche League meetings can help you learn about breastfeeding from other nursing mothers. At these monthly meetings, mothers share not only their questions and concerns but also the benefits and joys of breastfeeding. Being in touch with La Leche League can give you the network of support you need.

Upcoming meetings:

· The art of breastfeeding and avoiding difficulties: Thursday, August 27th.

· Nutrition and weaning: Thursday, September 24th.

Babies are always welcome at La Leche League meetings.

Home birth as safe as hospital from BBC

Research from the Netherlands - which has a high rate of home births - found no difference in death rates of either mothers or babies in 530,000 births.

Home births have long been debated amid concerns about their safety.

UK obstetricians welcomed the study - published in the journal BJOG - but said it may not apply universally.

The number of mothers giving birth at home in the UK has been rising since it dipped to a low in 1988. Of all births in England and Wales in 2006, 2.7% took place at home, the most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics showed.Read this full artilce at

The research was carried out in the Netherlands after figures showed the country had one of the highest rates in Europe of babies dying during or just after birth.

Code in Bangkok

What's CODE; CODE refer to The International CODE of marketing of breastmilk substitue.The International Code was prepared by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) after a process of widespread consultation with governments, the infant feeding industry, professional associations and NGOs. It is weaker than the ideal and some definitions and articles are open to interpretation. The industry has used imaginative methods to circumvent certain elements.The International Code is a unique and indispensable tool to protect and promote breastfeeding - an equally unique but threatened practice - and to ensure that marketing of breastmilk substitutes, feeding bottles and teats is appropriate. More information about the CODE please go to http://www.ibfan.org
