...Breastfeeding – no introduction necessary The focus of this review paper is on presenting and substantiating common knowledge and beliefs with scientific research and facts to demonstrate the advantages of breast milk feeding in early stages of human life and in years that follow. Discussion of non-scientific, i.e. social, economic, etc., aspects of breastfeeding will be limited, with primary focus given to human health outcomes for infants and mothers. The structure of this paper is decisively unconventional: where the author has chosen to discuss the body of common knowledge about breastfeeding before delving into the scientific research review. The intention is to draw the readers’ attention to the vast body of proven and observed advantages of breastfeeding for infant and mothers. Breastfeeding advantages – more than just food Breastfeeding is a natural process. Throughout human history breastfeeding was, and in many places around the world still is, a means to a healthy start to a human life. With the development of baby formula, and its availability, and relatively low cost, breastfeeding is now commonly thought to be a choice in the developed world. No longer a means to survival, no longer a requirement. To some, the advent of the baby formula is a direct form of feminine liberation. To others, baby formula is a necessity for medical or circumstantial reasons that are not driven by the freedom of choice. Those that choose the formula under pretenses other than necessity...

Provide a brief summary of the study (400-500 words) * The study examines how babies are far more sophisticated than you may think. The article shows how baby’s brains are unique and subject to learn. Based on new scientific techniques, studies have shown that even young infants are capable of understanding about objects, languages, and sounds. In previous years researchers belived that babies were incoherent and individualistic. Recent research has shown that Babies are able to gather intelligence through experinces and use the new intelligence to make a decision. Studies show young children grasp the world around them similarly to scientists. Babies are able to attempt exercises and analyze statistics forming hypothesis to report experiences. By the age of three or four children have a basic concept about biology, genetics, and illnesses. Scientists have discovered that babies have an exceptional capability to learn from statistical patterns. Babies have also found to be able to comprehend between a statistical sample and a population. Learning statistical patterns is the first step in scientific discovery. What scientists have found even more remarkable is that children are able to...

...FIRST SIX MONTHS PREVENT CHILDHOOD OBESITY? Can Breastfeeding in the First Six Months Prevent Childhood Obesity? Introduction Childhood obesity is an issue that has baffled many in the United States and the United Kingdom. Various researchers such as Charlesworth (2013) assert that the trend has significantly increased since the 1960s, an issue that has necessitated further research on the subject .For instance, Akabas et al., (2012) assert that 14 to 16% of 5 years old and 17 to 19% of 19 years old are overweight. This has been necessitated by the fact that the older/obese a child becomes the likelihood that the child will become obese in adulthood (Charlesworth, 2013). Thus, considering this became a matter of global concern. Further, studies have been done to ascertain the probability of a child becoming obese if not breastfed in the first six months. For a thorough comprehension of the topic, it was concluded that it is necessary to explore issues such as defining overweight and obesity for children, genetic predisposition to weight and obesity, behaviours that affect childhood overweight and obesity. Also, how breastfeeding aids in curbing obesity and overweight in children and how the role of a mother and family in preventing obesity and overweight in children is also addressed. Finally, recommendations were made regarding how childhood obesity can be curbed. This paper researches whether breastfeeding can play a critical role in the first six months in curbing...

...This disease has been considered a jewish disease. According to the Center for Jewish Genetics, approximately one in 30 people in the American Ashkenazi Jewish population is a Tay-Sachs carrier.( Tay-Sach’s Disease. 2015, February,13) The population are so unaware they are a carrier simply because they appear to be perfectly healthy, but in reality the gene for Tay-Sachs can be passed down through many generations before anyone in the family line gives birth to a Tay-Sach’s disease afflicted baby. The reason this disease is considered an autosomal recessive is because, if both parents are carriers, the child has a fifty percent chance of being a carrier and a twenty-five percent chance being born with Tay-Sach’s disease. There is no way to prevent the disease, but you can have genetic testing done to see if you are a carrier or if your fetus has the disease. If you or your spouse is a carrier, genetic testing can help you make a decision about whether or not to have children .Even with the best of care, children with Tay-Sachs disease usually die by age 4, from recurring infection (Tay-Sach’s Disease Information Page,...

...Pediatrics,” breastfeeding should be continued for the first year of life and beyond for as long as mutually desired by mother and child” (American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP], 2005). The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends breastfeeding infants for a minimum of six months, with added benefits when breastfeeding continues for more than a year. Their overall opinion is that the greatest health benefits occur when it is done for one or two years (Ryan, 2012). The United States national health objective, Healthy People 2010, set a goal to increase the number of women who breastfeed for at least six months to 50 %, focusing specifically on low-income women (Pugh et al., 2002). This research paper will look into the many benefits associated with breastfeeding for at least six months. First, what added health benefits does the infant receive if they are breastfed for at least six months when compared to an infant who is fed formula. Second, what added health benefits does a nursing mother receive by breastfeeding for at least six months or longer. Lastly, what are the added benefits that are realized by the family of a mother who breastfeeds her child for at least the first six months of their life. Therefore, this paper suggests that...

...public discriminates breastfeeding women due to the sexualized view that is associated with the breast and the decency that they correlate with breastfeeding. (Boyer, 432) Such child and maternal relationship should be viewed as a normal process. This factor is discussed in the news article on CBC news as the Walmart employee stated that such act is unacceptable in the public. Culture and beliefs of a person can be an underlying factor for this stand. Breastfeeding in public in Canada is protected by law. Ontario supports the mother’s breastfeeding by providing mothers the rights to breastfeed their babies in the most comfortable and healthy way possible when the need to breastfeed the child rises. (Ontario Human Rights Commission, 2014) Mothers who are socially accepted in their culture to breastfed often increases the likelihood of the continuation of breastfeeding for at least 6 months as recommended by WHO. Such, idea identifies how significant social acceptance is to the breastfeeding mother. This is a very evident factor that can be seen in the breastfeeding population in UK. With this, most women are pressured to arrange their day to accommodate the breastfeeding time for...

...“…vegetarians are 24% less likely to die of coronary heart disease.” There is a long list of the benefits of a vegetarian diet. It is mainly because being on a vegetarian diet reduces a lot of cholesterol, and saturated fats, which, come from animal origin. It’s no secret that a low-fat diet that is high in fruits and veggies is beneficial and that a vegetarian diet can help get that. But is it really what’s best for children? After all, children need a well balanced meal with plenty of protein for proper growth. Can they get that on a vegetarian diet? What about vegetarianism during pregnancy and breast-feeding? There are many known benefits of the vegetarian lifestyle in adults, but most of these are unknown in children. This paper will begin to answer these questions. Children have nutritional needs greater than that of adults. A poor diet can have long-lasting effects that can last their entire lives. As TAB Sanders and Sheela Reddy say in Vegetarian Diets and Children, “Several hazards of a vegetarian diet...
