#Hospitals encouraging new mothers to breastfeed by scrapping free formula programs (Naturalnews) A major shift seems to be taking place in how the conventional medical system views appropriate feeding protocols for newborns.
A recent study found that many hospitals across the country are now ditching free infant formula handouts in an attempt to encourage new mothers to exclusively breastfeed their babies rather than pump them up with soy protein, corn syrup solids,
the paper looked at the prevalence of hospitals and birth centers distributing infant formula discharge packs to breastfeeding mothers in the U s. between 2007 and 2013.
hospitals are implementing new no-formula protocols to promote breastfeeding over infant formula. Epidemiologist Dr. Jennifer Nelson, M d,
which is administered every two years to all hospitals with registered maternity beds. The survey includes questions about how many infant formula discharge packs are distributed to new mothers before these women are discharged from the hospital.
With a nearly 98 percent response rate, the survey is considered a highly credible indicator of infant formula distribution trends among hospitals and birth centers.
Based on the responses gathered the team calculated that infant formula distribution rates dropped by an astounding 41 percent between 2007 and 2013, falling from 72.6 percent to 31.6 percent.
Similarly, teaching hospitals have abandoned almost completely the practice, with only 5. 5 percent of them giving out free formula in 2013.
Six years prior in 2007,63 percent of teaching hospitals handed out free infant formula. The most dramatic decline occurred at hospitals with the highest numbers of babies delivered.
In 2013, less than 12 percent of high-volume delivery hospitals handed out free infant formula. In this case"
high volume"refers to hospitals that deliver at least 5, 000 babies annually. Infant formula companies are just like Big Pharma:
they give free samples to hospitals to gain customers A major issue with handing out free infant formula to new mothers is that it encourages these women to avoid breastfeeding their children,
maintain researchers. Nearly 80 percent of new mothers start out breastfeeding their children, according to the data.
"Hospitals and health care systems are places we look to for guidance on health, "says Dr. Jennifer Nelson,
"When hospitals distribute formula to breastfeeding mothers, it signals that formula feeding is as good as breastfeeding."
