But besides providing nutrition to the newborns it can also transmit some infectious diseases. One of these is HIV. Breastfeeding and HIV does offer considerable risk to newborns. In fact, the risk of breastfeeding and HIV can be as high as 1 in 4 HIV infections if a baby is breastfed by an HIV+ mother.There are risks to breastfeeding from other illnesses too. It has been generally accepted that breastfeeding a newborn is extremely beneficial for the baby as well as for the mother. But there are circumstances which cast a shadow of doubt on that premise.

It is the only major brand of organic formula that is sweetened with cane sugar, or sucrose, which is much sweeter than sugars used in other formulas. No health problems in babies have been associated with Similac Organic. But to pediatricians, there are risks in giving babies cane sugar: Sucrose (NYT - Requires a free, one-time registration.) can harm tooth enamel faster than other sugars; once babies get used to its sweeter taste, they might resist less sweet formulas or solid foods; and some studies suggest that they might overeat, leading to rapid weight gain in the first year, which is often a statistical pred... | | By: The Health Archive | | |

But here is what I came up with:Breastfeeding is one of the most wonderful parts of being a mother for
me. I have never even considered anything else, for so many reasons!
Breastfeeding provides the most amazing, perfect food for my baby--even
changing as my baby grows to be just what his little body needs at
whatever age he is! There can be no worthy substitute for breastmilk.
Breastfeeding has created such a powerful bond between my children and
me. The closeness I feel with my baby as he nurses is so special, and
at the same time he forms a strong attachment to me as well.
Breastfeeding is so easy, convenient, and free! I never have to mix
formula, wash bottles or pack them in the diaper bag--not to mention

Research online before you buy to be sure you’re not inadvertently introducing toxics into your home and body. Then tell your friends about toxics in consumer products. Together, ask the businesses why they’re using toxic chemicals without any warning labels. And ask your elected officials why they are permitting this practice. The European Union has adopted strong policies that require toxics to be removed from many products. So, while our electronic gadgets and cosmetics have toxics in them, people in Europe can buy the same things toxics-free. Let’s demand the same thing here (US).

| Half-Naked Mamas Defend Breastfeeding | | 2007-06-22 14:53:56 | |
A group of mothers recently bared their breasts in front of the Supreme Court last Tuesday in a creative move against the case filed by big companies challenging ad restrictions on milk substitutes to breastfeeding.
