look at this baby!!!...so big ***wink***


Bouncing baby boy as big as a six-year-old


A ten-month-old Chinese baby has grown to weigh around 44 lbs, equivalent to a normal six-year-old child, state media has reported.

When he was born in China's southern Hunan province, Xiao Lei weighed around 7.7 lbs, just above the average weight of a newborn baby.

But thanks to a strong appetite, Xiao Lei started ballooning one month later and is now double the size of many babies at a similar age.

Xiao Lei's mother Cheng Qingyu found it difficult to hold her son in her arms like other parents, and said she had to rest every ten minutes.

But she said she was not concerned that her son, who has been branded a Michelin baby, might have eaten tainted food.

"I feed my son with my breast milk. I've never had him take any milk powder or anything that contains hormones. Why would I need to worry?" she said.

Xiao Lei is currently being treated in Hunan Children's hospital, where he is undergoing a series of medical checks to see what caused him to gain so much weight. Doctors at the hospital said his weight would most likely cause problems for his heart and blood pressure, and said he must lose weight in order to be healthy.

Cabaran breastfeeding

Melihat kepada topik dan isu ini teringkat sy kepada pengalaman dari diri sy sendiri...

sedih juga melihat degan sikap org yng masih tidak terbuka mindanya untuk memberi susu ibu kepada anaknya sendiri...yelah tak boleh nak disalahkan mereka juga.maybe kekurangan ilmu yg disampikan...contoh nya golongan atau masyrakat dulu-dulu..lebih mempelajari ilmu hasil dari turun temurun..walaupun ia logik atau tidak logik..munkin boleh dirujuk tetapi tidak semua boleh diguna pakai dgn sewajarnya...ia merujuk kepada pengalamn sy ketika bersalinkan anak pertama...sy mmg dah bertekad di dalam hati..mmg nak breastkan anak sy sendiri..mak sendiri memberi penekanan kepada sy untuk campur susu mungkin melihat badan sy agak kurus..dan dia berasa tidak confident...ditambah pulak dgn bidan yang datang mengurut suruh campur..juga..dalam hati..knp nak campur...sedangkan susu ada...mmm...3 hari datg..3 harilah.tanye dah campur ke blum...dia kate nanti susah dah kerja...nak bagi susu semua kene biasekan dari kecil...hu...hu...mmm..org tua kan..iyekan jelah...dia tak de ilmu nak buat EBM...hi..hi...kite nie dah hidup di zaman moden..nak tahu semua bende dalam internet semua ade....semua boleh dipelajari sendiri...so mane yg boleh kite ikut..ikut lah...mane yang tidak..iye kan juga...nak kene jaga perasan diaorng nie...juga...

Selain faktor peranan org tua, ade juga mereka yg tidak mendapat sokongan daripada keluarga terdekat..ade sampai suami sendiri pun tidak memberi galakan...mmm...sedihkan...kalau tiada sokongan, ini  bermakne diri sendiri sbg ibu kene ade semnagat yg tinggi..yelah..definately suami tak kan tolong nak beli pump yg bagus..so kenelah pandai2 cari duit dan simpan...sy rase itu tidak adil bagi seorang ibu yg mempunyai hajat yg suci...tidak mendapat sokongan dari suami sendiri...sabar jelah kan...

so munkin ade diantar amereka yg mempunyai masalah yg berbeza...sgt berterima kasih sekiranya isu ini dapat dikongsi bersama supaya semua ibu berasa sgt dihargai....walaupun org yg terdekat tidak menghargainya...

Basic Kit...breastfeeding or bottlefeeding for working mother

This tips I copy from newspaper the Star pageP16 -Parenting dated 11-08-2010

If you're working,  or choose to do a combination of breast- and bottle feeding here are the basic equipment you'll need
  • A quality breastpump. It can be manual or electric, as long as it's from reputable company.The important thing is to make sure the pump is BPA-free
  • BPA-free milk storage bottles or bags
  • A striliser
  • A good quality liquid cleanser for washing your equipment and bottles. Choose that gentle and has natural ingredients instead of harsh chemicals. Go for paraben-free cleansers if you can.
  • BPA milk bottles
  • A good nipple cream to protect agains cracks and soreness
  • Breast pads, because you are going to be leaking milk almost all the time
  • A good nursing bra. Your breasts will be sore and tender for the first few month. so choose somthing in soft cotton. Don't bother with padded ones unltill at least on year down road, if you're still breastfeeding..

L.A.T.CH.O. - Learned Attachment Techniques CHanges Outcomes
Breastfeeding Natural? YES! – Comes Naturally? NO!


For a mother breastfeeding is a learned behaviour, but for her baby, breastfeeding is instinctive.

Natures way for mothers to learn, is by subconsciously observing other mothers holding, positioning, and attaching their babies successfully.


Unfortunately almost every human culture has interfered with this natural process and today many women don’t have the opportunity to learn to breastfeed naturally. Mothers certainly don’t understand how to work with their baby’s innate behaviours, unless someone explains it to them.

Today, health professionals and lay counsellors in this field, play an absolutely crucial role in replacing the loss of the natural process, by teaching mothers attachment techniques that support innate infant behaviour and the “mechanics” of breastfeeding.

The first 3-4months of life is a unique period for the human infant. When feeding behaviour is entirely instinctive and reflex and the infants anatomy is uniquely matched to these behaviours. These reflex behaviours are dependent on; appropriate sensory input, adequate positional stability and the maturity and functionality of the physical structures involved.


When 0 to 3-4 month old infants are provided with the appropriate sensory input, (“skin to skin” or firm contact with the mothers’ body and breast) they instinctively search for the breast by lifting their heads and thrusting the chin and mouth forward, which in turn has the effect of tilting the head backwards. This “Instinctive Position” or posture anatomically matches the processes required for good attachment and the “suck-swallow-breathe” cycles that are breastfeeding.
 
The Head tilt – extension or flexion

When a baby lifts the chin and mouth towards the breast, this has the effect of tilting the head backwards. The perception that this puts the infant into extension, rather than flexion, has caused a lot of consternation. Lift your own chin and mouth as if searching for the breast and you will experience that your cervical vertebrae stretch forward as your head tilts backwards. When a baby is brought to the breast with their hips and shoulders against mothers’ body, and lift their chin and mouth, to search for the breast, they are simply stretching the cervical spine forward; a very different scenario from extension, when a baby throws its head and shoulders back away from the breast.
 
To make Good Attachment physically possible babies need to be brought to the breast in the “instinctive position”, where the mouth opens wide, the tongue extends forward and baby can “scoop” a large amount of breast over the tongue and lower jaw.



The nipple rolls back, close to the junction of the hard & soft palate, and the breast fills baby’s mouth, with the tongue & lower jaw positioned deep under the milk ducts and breast tissue immediately behind the nipple. (see Rebecca’s unique graphics) Attachment is not physically possible with the chin down, and try swallowing with your chin dropped towards your chest!

With the essential mouthful in place, (appropriate sensory input – everything touching in baby’s mouth) the infant responds, using the combination of; negative pressure in the pharynx, the mothers milk ejection reflex and the mechanical action of the lower jaw & tongue to comfortably and effectively breastfeed.


The Magic of Positional Stability

The newborn infant is totally reliant on external support, positional stability.

Without a stable base, function and mobility is less controlled or even impossible. Therefore, for the infant to execute the complex oro-motor movements required for attachment and breastfeeding they must be provided with the appropriate stability.


Oral Stability is dependent on neck and shoulder girdle stability, which are inturn, dependant on trunk and pelvic stability.


To support the reflex behaviours for effective Breastfeeding infants require:



  • Midline Stability – body centrally straight from head to toe The symmetrical movement of the muscles on both sides of baby’s body is crucial for optimal oro-motor function

  • Shoulder Girdle Stability – firm support in the middle of baby’s body between the shoulders. This stabilises the neck, head, jaw, tongue, pharynx & larynx to enable controlled and effective oro-motor movement.

  • Trunk and Pelvic Stability – shoulders and hips turned towards and supported against the mothers’ body.

When a mother brings her nought to three to four month old baby to the breast in the “instinctive position” AND provides them with the necessary positional stability it triggers and supports the innate sequence of reflex behaviours that are breastfeeding
