...decision to breastfeed versus formula feed babies can be difficult and one of the most important decisions a mother can make. While there is nothing wrong with giving babies formula milk, breastfeeding should be the number one choice for mothers. As breast milk provides more nutrients, is naturally produced by mothers and is less expensive, breastfeeding is more beneficial than formula milk. When examining the benefits of breastfeeding as opposed to formula milk, breast milk tops the list with the nutrients and antibodies it provides. As breast milk contains antibodies that formula milk does not, this provides extra protection for babies against diseases and viruses. The first milk a baby receives while breastfeeding is colostrum. Colostrum is rich in nutrients and the mother’s own disease-preventing antibodies which may protect the baby from certain viruses (Kutner, 2012). Thus, breastfeeding babies contribute to building babies’ immune systems. As the breast milk matures, “the cells, hormones, and antibodies [in breast milk]…protect babies from illness” (Womenshealth.gov, 2011). This combination is unique to breast milk and is not contained in formula milk. On the other hand, some formula milk does contain more vitamin D than breast milk, which is essential in building strong bones. In addition, formula milk also contains fluoride which is important for healthy teeth. However, both nutrients can be provided to babies as a supplement if they are needed. Formula...

...Breast-Feeding is a Must A healthy baby; a happy life. It is in a mother’s nature to want nothing but the best for their child. If this statement is true, then why do countless women not choose to give their child the best nutrition? There are a great deal of benefits that not only the child receives but the mother as well, yet many women still refuse to breast-feed for several non-reasonable issues. Breast-milk is the most essential nutrition that a baby requires, therefore if a mother is able to breast-feed, she should do so. Most women are aware that during a child’s infancy, breast milk is the best source of nutrition for the first 6 months of their lives. Therefore, a baby requires certain amount of vitamins and nutrients to build walls to help fight and protect them from anything that comes their way. Breast milk is their most essential nutrition because it helps with their brain development, growth, and a healthy immune system, which are the main components for a healthy baby. The main key to having a healthy baby is to know that your child is completely healthy. It is the biggest fear of a mother to find out that their child may suffer from some kind of disease or disorder so why not decrease those chances by simply giving them a healthier start in life. It is a simple process but takes a lot of patience and dedication from a mothers part to allow this process to acure. Breastfeeding decreases the chances of allergies in 25%, asthma 27% , cancer 8%, diabetes...

...popular gaming communities. With year round sunshine that attracts not only vacationers but also retirees. The aging population in our community is substantially large and is about to explode. Those born in the baby boom era following the end of World War II, between the years of 1946 and 1964 are just hitting the retirement age. We can expect to see our aging population grow and challenge our local health care facilities and the health care market in general over the next few years. Although the U.S. Census Bureau population estimates are not available for 2011 as of yet for our community, we can see on the quick facts chart below where we stood in 2010. People Quick Facts | Bullhead City, Arizona | Population, 2011 estimate | NA | Population, 2010 | 39,540 | Population, percent change, 2000 to 2010 | 17.1% | Population, 2000 | 33,769 | Persons under 5 years, percent, 2010 | 5.4% | Persons under 18 years, percent, 2010 | 19.6% | Persons 65 years and over, percent, 2010 | 23.9% | Female persons, percent, 2010 | 50.6% | (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). As shown above, our small community grew by 17.1% over 10 years between 2000 and 2010. It is unknown how much that percentage could change between 2010 and 2020 based on the aging Baby Boomer population, but it is likely that it could double or even triple. Based on this information and that the cost of living is lower here than the national average our community is becoming a popular retirement...

...pursuance of an agreement can either contribute her genetic material as well as her womb, her uterus, or she can contribute her uterus . There are two main types of surrogacy , gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy . Additionally, if the surrogate mother receives compensation beyond the reimbursement of medical and other reasonable expenses, the arrangement is called commercial surrogacy. There are three parties who use surrogacy, mothers who have other issues with their bodies that inhibit infertility, homosexuals and parents who are infertile . Surrogate parenting is highly controversial by its very nature. Nevertheless, surrogate parenting is attracting wide spread attention as a viable alternative for infertile couples intent on having a child. Thus, surrogacy should be prohibited worldwide to prevent from exploitation of women, a form of child trafficking, violates the relationships between families and surrogates face difficult emotional and psychological issues . However, there are cases that support surrogacy. Sam Everingham is the founder of Surrogacy Australia and has children who were born through surrogacy. More than a thousand infants born via surrogacy entered our country legally last year, many of them from India. Yet based on the actions of a few selfish Australian couples, six months ago India effectively blackballed citizens of just one country ,Australia , from engaging in surrogacy within its borders. Furthermore, in the US, where ethical...

...Baby boomers are the first generation to actively declare a higher priority for work over personal life. They generally distrust authority and large systems. Their values were shaped primarily by a rise in civil rights activism, Viet Nam, and inflation. They are more optimistic and open to change than the prior generation, but they are also responsible for the “Me Generation,” with its pursuit of personal gratification, which often shows up as a sense of entitlement in today’s work force. Because of the fall of the dot.com marketplace, retirement savings of Baby Boomers were decimated and many now find themselves having to work longer than they had planned. A recent AARP survey of 2,001 people born in this era revealed that 63% plan to work...

...Breastfeeding If a mother is reluctant to breastfeed her baby, the first thing to do is to talk with the mother to determine the reason for her reluctance. Once the reason is determined, we can educate the mother about the ways to resolve her concerns and provide resources and support groups that can assist her. Many women see breastfeeding as painful. This is due to the possibility of sore or cracked nipples, breast engorgement, blocked ducts or mastitis. Other women are afraid to breastfeed because they believe they will not produce enough milk (Breastfeeding Overview, 2013). If a mother is worried about not giving the baby enough milk, we have to provide her with the cues to look for, that will tell her that the child is getting enough milk. According to webmd, a baby who is wetting six to eight diapers a day is most likely getting enough milk. Some women mistakenly think they can't breastfeed if they have small breasts. But small-breasted women can make milk just as well as large-breasted women. Good nutrition, plenty of rest, and staying well hydrated all help, too (Breastfeeding Overview, 2013). If the mother does not have specific reason but is just unsure about breast feeding, we can educate her about the benefits of breast feeding to both the mother and baby. Webmd list the benefits babies receive from breast feeding as follows: “Breast milk provides a nearly perfect mix of vitamins, protein, and fat -- everything a baby needs to grow. It's is provided in a form that...

...surrogacy. It is a course of action that goes outside of natural reproduction. For some, it is the only method of having children, extending family. Surrogacy has been stirring up many controversies over the years. Ethics, morals, laws, religious views, etc. have played a major role in the issues that follow the topic of surrogacy. Laws and regulations pertaining to surrogacy vary from state to state. Some states have no enforceable laws towards surrogacy, while others only permit surrogacy contracts that are uncompensated arrangements and gestational agreements (Trimarchi, 2011). Some states prohibit same sex couples from entering into any form of surrogacy contracts. In this paper, I will be address the legal and ethical issues involved and other aspects of surrogacy. History of Surrogacy and Case Study Surrogacy was assumed to have been around since the Babylonian times. Alternatively, the most credible records to date allocate managing legal passivity and the public responses during the middle of the 20th century. Surrogacy did not become public in 1976, when Attorney Noel Keane negotiated the first ever surrogacy agreement ("History of surrogacy," 2011). Attorney Noel Keane and Dr. Ringold created the first ever fertility clinic (surrogacy clinic) in the United States. Many laws and regulations were not implemented until the case of Elizabeth Kane and the case of Baby M. Elizabeth Kane was the first woman to enter into a compensated surrogacy agreement in 1980. She was...

...becoming highly body conscious as 82% of Australian males identified they are spending significantly more money on tending to their physical appearance when compared to premillennial habits (McCrindle Social Research 2013). This can be attributed to the increased media exposure to male specific lifestyle magazines and shows (IBISWORLD 2013). Not only are Australian males become more image conscious they are also recognizing the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyles (Euromonitor 2013). Australian men can be demographically profiled by generation, Baby Boomers being aged roughly 47-65, Generation X aged early 30’s to mid-40’s, Generation Y born between 1981 and 1994 and Generation Z those born between 1995-2009 (Holroyd 2011). Over the next five years the population of Australians over 50 is expected to grow to 8.5 million people, making up 32% of Australia’s total population (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2013). The baby boomer age cohort will therefore represent a market of 4 million Australian males (IBISWORLD 2013). This presents them as a key target demographic for Bulldog Natural Skincare.

Usually young workers want to make a quick impact, the middle generation needs to believe in the mission, and older employees don’t like ambivalence. It is important organization to take time and build the trusting relationship where each generation brings ahead their potentials and works towards the organization goal. The leaders should recognize the different work characteristics between generational groups and apply leadership styles that will positively contribute to employee motivation. As a result, due to the shifting nature of the job/task itself and the changing nature of subordinate characteristics and behavior. Leadership styles have also had to make changes. Accordingly, a task-oriented leadership style is more acceptable to Baby boomers but Generation...

...There just are too many reasons why you should breastfeed your baby over giving him or her formula. A team of researchers at Brown University used an MRI that's baby-friendly to look at the brain scans of 133 babies under 4 years of age who have the same gestation period and come from the same socioeconomic status. This study divided them into three groups: those who were exclusively breastfed, those who were exclusively fed formula milk, and those who were breastfed as well as fed with formula milk. This is the first study that compares the brains of babies who are very healthy and study the effect and differences of breastfeeding on brain development. The brains of the babies as imaged quietly as they sleep. The images showed astounding differences between breastfed babies and formula-fed babies. The brain images of breastfed babies, or those who were breastfed for at least 3 months showed enhanced development in areas related to language, cognition, and emotional function compared to the babies who took formula milk. The older babies were also compared with the younger ones to compare the growth trajectories in white matter. The MRI imaging looked at the microstructure of the brain's white matter, or the tissue that...

You have to decide how valuable breastfeeding is and whether you can work and breastfeed. The scenario is not true for me in real life since I have three kids, but was a concern when we were having our first child 14 years ago. June 7, 2015 We are expecting our first child! This is a very exciting and happy time of our lives and we can hardly wait to hold our little bundle of joy. But there is a lot to prepare and plan before the arrival of our baby. We have to paint and decorate the baby’s room, register for the baby shower and outline a plan of who will be taking care of the baby when we are back at work. And thinking of going back to work brings a very significant question to mind - are we going to breastfeed the baby or use formula? In my class “Parenting Today” I have read that breastfeeding an infant has a lot of health advantages. It helps protect babies against infectious diseases by strengthening their immune system. The advantages of breastfeeding are numerous, both for the baby as well as for the mother. Studies have shown that breastfeeding promotes the development of mother-child relationship. Research has proved that breastfed babies have healthier immune systems to fight infections; they are less likely to develop childhood obesity and the problems associated with it; they...

The ones that have given us the nasty stereotypes that had planted the seed on the rest of the Baby Boomers and Generation X so they can viewed us as job-hoppers and lazy. Baby Boomers probably think we stay on the couch, eating chips all day and letting our parents pay for our bills. Do they think that is the reasons why we still live with our parents? I mean living rent free is cool and your mom can still do your laundry; however that isn’t the real reasons why we still live with our parents.

...ideal nutrition for infants. It has the perfect mix of vitamins, protein, and fat -- everything your infant needs to grow. And it's all provided in a form more easily digested than infant formula. Breast milk contains antibodies that help your baby fight off viruses and bacteria. Breastfeeding reduces your baby's risk of having asthma or allergies. According to this article, babies who are breastfed exclusively for the first six months, without any formula, have fewer ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and bouts of diarrhea. They also have fewer hospitalizations and trips to the doctor. Breastfeeding has been linked to higher IQ scores in later childhood in some studies. The physical closeness, skin-to-skin touching, and eye contact all help your baby bond with you and feel secure. Breastfed infants are more likely to gain the right amount of weight as they grow rather than become overweight children. It's been thought to lower the risk of diabetes, obesity, and certain cancers as well but more research is needed to confirm these findings.
