！！Advice :It’s very easy to get sucked into the constant advertising of baby powders, creams, and lotions. But the best baby lotion is plain old olive oil—cheap, natural, and un-perfumed. As for other products, keep it as natural, organic, and fragrance-free as possible.

Despite the demonstrated benefits of breast-feeding, there are some situations in which breast-feeding is not in the best interest of the infant. These include the infant with galactosemia, the infant whose mother uses illegal drugs, the infant whose mother has untreated active tuberculosis. and the infant whose mother has been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. In countries with populations at increased risk for other infectious diseases and nutritional deficiencies resulting in infant death, the mortality risks associated with non breast-feeding may outweigh the possible risks of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus infection. Although most prescribed and over-the-counter medications are safe for the breastfed infant. there are a few medications that mothers may need to take that may make it necessary to interrupt breast-feeding temporarily. These include radioactive isotopes, anti-metabolites, cancer chemotherapy agents, and a small number of other medications. Excellent books and tables of drugs that are safe or contraindicated in breast-feeding are available to the physician for reference.
Increasing the rates of breast-feeding initiation and duration is a national health objective and one of the goals of Healthy people. The target is to “increase to at least 75% the proportion of mothers who breastfeed their babies in the early postpartum period and to at least 5% the proportion who continue breast-feeding until their babies are 5 to 6 months old”. Although breast-feeding rates have increased slightly since the 90s, the percentage of women currently electing to breastfeed their babies is still lower than levels reported in the mid-80s. In 1995, 59.4% of women in the United states were breast-feeding either exclusively or in combination with formula feeding at the time of hospital discharge; only 21.6% of mothers were nursing at 6 months, and many of these were supplementing with formula.

The highest rates of breast-feeding are observed among higher-income, college-educated women above 3 years of age living in the Mountain and pacific regions of the United states. Obstacles to the initiation and continuation of breast-feeding include physician apathy and misinformation. insufficient prenatal breast-feeding education, disruptive hospital policies, inappropriate interruption of breast-feeding, early hospital discharge in some populations, lack of timely routine follow-up care and postpartum home health visits, maternal employment (especially in the absence of workplace facilities and support for breast-feeding, lack of broad societal support, media portrayal of bottle-feeding as normative, and commercial promotion of infant formula through distribution of hospital discharge packs, coupons for free or discounted formula, and television and general magazine advertising. Breast feeding as been identified as the ideal method of feeding and nurturing infants and recognizes breast-feeding as primary in achieving optimal infant and child health, growth and development. It is very essential for the pediatrician in promoting, protecting and supporting breast-feeding and should always recommend breast-feeding policies.
