Facebook and Breastfeeding, Yes Again

Facebook and Breastfeeding, Yes Again

     So Facebook has decided to pull breastfeeding photos from their site. I say good for them! I certainly have nothing against breastfeeding. However, I find it disgusting that a large majority of breeder feeders insist on doing it in public.

     Instead of being called mothers for breastfeeding they should be called mothers for breastfeeding for show.

     You know sometimes a mom can't help but stop at the mall or somewhere and have to breastfeed. Babies get hungry and you can't always plan the exact time that will happen. If you make them wait they will scream and wail until you do feed them. I got that. What I don't get is why some moms expose themselves without any kind of modesty for everyone to see. In fact I will go so far as to say they do it more for the attention rather than the health of the baby.

     Ladies aside from the health standpoint, it's a bonding moment between the mother and child. It does not require nor ask for an audience of strangers. In fact I think that takes away from the true beauty of the experience, but then I'm not an exibitionist.

Why Tamoxifen Doesn't Work For All Women

Women who have had breast cancer are often given the drug Tamoxifen to help prevent the return of the cancer, but in as many as 35% of woman the drug fails. Now doctors have found out why.

It seems to be down to a battle between two proteins and although this information will not help make the drug work better as of yet, it will allow doctors to identify which women it will not work in. This will save time in that doctors can choose other means of therapies. Eventually they may figure out how to use the drug in all women effectively.

Vigorous exercise can cut the risk of breast cancer in normal weight women. Non vigorous exercise has no effect on breast cancer, and vigorous exercise on overweight women has no effect.

Vigorous exercise would be activities such as scrubbing floors, jogging, running, dancing,and biking.

Non vigorous exercise and vigorous exercise on obese women still have their worth for a number of other health reasons, so don't stop doing them. They just won't help with breast cancer risk.

Baby Time!

Baby Time!

    My daughter had her baby, my first grandchild on October 1st. He was 18 inches long and 5 lbs. 5 oz. She took lots of long walks and ate good foods, her labor only lasted about 5 to 6 hours and the baby was born healthy and whole.

     She was willing to begin breastfeeding in the hospital and later to switch to formula, but it didn't work out, so baby is on just formula, but doing very well.
