A request for information for a friend whose
newborn grandchild has apparently contracted Group B Strep from maternal breast
milk - bacteria has been cultured in the breastmilk. Has anyone got any recent
research on this - I can find very little in my searches.

I have checked the ABA catalogue & I am unsure which of the leaflets you are
referring to as there are none actually titled breastfeeding confidence
booklet. Could you please clarify. Cheers

Hi Lyn
In NSW the NSW Framework for Maternity
Services (NSW DOH 2000) has a bibliography that might assist you. Also, in
NSW there was a report Review of Obstetric Services in NSW: Country
Consumers Respond (NSW DOH 1988) pre the Shearman Report. I must say that

Title: Re: PhD research on the medicalization of pregnancy and childbirth
Certainly my experience & research on the far
north coast of NSW is that many women want both - midwives & MOs. Mostly, I
believe, because of incorrect, ill informed hype that an MO is needed for
birthing. We need to be
Great news & well deserved for hard work & commitment. I hope that your aims

As a midwife & IBCLC I would recommend that if you are hanging out for
chocolate that you don't go for Milo - the company is owned by Nestle, a large
offender in formula disputes particularly in developing counrites. I personally
try not to buy any products owned by the Nestle company.

I am not absolutely sure - however I think Ovaltine is owned by Nestle as
well.It's a really important social advocacy & public health issue
internationally and I believe strongly that all mdiwves need to be politically
aware & social advocates for the whole world.

According to the LaLeche League the rule of thumb is -
1/2 of 1 per cent pregnancy rate if fully or nearly fully breastfeeding and
amenorrhheic up to 6 months.More intensive breasrfeeding ia associated with
with longer durations of amenorrhea.

We had a review of all the maternity units in our
HS as part of a maternity services review and subsequent design of a maternity
services plan - yet to be implemented I might add.
We had an independent review team - 1 midwife, 1
Ob/Gyn, 1 GP Ob/Gyn & 1 consumer rep. Amazing results by the way
