- Pregnancy & Birth, Women's HealthGeneral Page Tier 3BlogUnderstanding the importance of breastfeeding is key to setting your personal goals. Breast milk is what babies are meant to eat. It’s a natural source of nutrition and provides the healthiest start for an infant, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). They recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months (although any amount of time you breastfeed is beneficial) and say it’s an investment in the short- and long-term health of your baby, as opposed to just a lifestyle choice. Breast milk contains all the necessary vitamins and nutrients your baby needs in the first six months of life. The nutritional makeup of your breast milk will actually change to meet your baby’s changing needs. But the benefits of breastfeeding extend beyond basic nutrition for your baby and are also not limited to just mom and baby. Here are some of the amazing benefits of breastfeeding: Benefits of breastfeeding for Baby Breastfed babies have fewer episodes of infections and illnesses. It can reduce the chance of developing chronic disease later in life, such as diabetes and asthma. Breast milk is full of antibodies and nutrients that help the immune system and digestive tract. It can help brain and eye development. It increases bonding and helps baby form a secure attachment with mom. Benefits for Mom: It reduces the risk of developing cervical and breast cancers. It saves money! You already have all the milk you need to feed your baby. Breastfeeding helps the uterus shrink back to pre-pregnancy size and many moms find it easier to return to pre-baby weight. It releases hormones in your body that make you feel relaxed and closer with your baby. It’s an easy way to feed on the go! It’s always at the perfect temperature and ready to go when baby is hungry. Benefits for Family: It saves money! You already have all the milk you need to feed your baby. Breastfeeding allows the family to bond. Spouses can be an important part of breastfeeding by rocking and burping the baby and making sure mom is nourished too! Benefits for the Community: Breastfeeding is environmentally friendly since it really is all natural! It saves water, it doesn’t use energy for manufacturing, and it also doesn’t pollute the environment with garbage or pollution from manufacturing facilities. Breastfed babies are at a lower risk for obesity and chronic illness, which can help create an overall healthier community! For more information on the benefits of breastfeeding we recommend reading the American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement: Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk. Breastfeeding Resources: LHAAMC has a variety of ways to engage with professionals and community members who have experience with breastfeeding. Learn more about our breastfeeding resources or sign up for a future class or support group. Breastfeeding Warm Line: Anne Arundel Medical Center’s lactation staff is available to answer any questions you might have about breastfeeding. You can reach our consultants seven days a week via our Warm Line at 443-481-6977. Simply leave a message and they’ll return your call between 9 am and 4 pm the same day. Find a Lactation Consultant: A board-certified lactation consultant can help address your breastfeeding concerns or challenges. You can find one in your area through the United States Lactation Consultant Association directory.0
- Blood Donation, Patient StoriesGeneral Page Tier 3BlogFor Debra Taylor, blood donations are critical to keeping her alive. Taylor was recently diagnosed with a rare condition called severe aplastic anemia, and since her bone marrow doesn’t make enough red blood cells, she needs regular blood transfusions. We spoke with Taylor, an occupational therapist, about what it’s like to need blood transfusions and how blood donations truly save lives. How Often do You Receive Blood Transfusions? I’ve been receiving either one or two units of blood, or one unit of platelets, every single week since September 2020. Each week, I get my blood drawn to determine where my red blood cell levels are and whether I need a transfusion. There’s never been a week where I didn’t need something. Some days, I even need two units of blood because my levels are so low. Why do You Need Blood Transfusions? I need transfusions to stay alive. With blood platelets, having between 150,000 and 400,000 platelets per microliter of blood is considered normal. Today, I was at 33,000 platelets. Two days ago, I was at 7,000. If my platelet levels go below 10,000, I get a platelet transfusion. I get a blood transfusion depending on my hematocrit and hemoglobin levels. If I don’t get a transfusion, I could die or bleed out with something as simple as a minor injury. What Message do You Have for People Thinking About Donating Blood? Without blood, I’ll die. And others like me will die. My message is simple: Please donate. Because millions of people need it. What Gives You Hope? A: People in my situation can get very depressed. Since I’m severely immunocompromised, I can’t go anywhere, especially with the risk of COVID-19. But I feel hope in the promise that I may be able to get a bone marrow transplant soon that will help me, or that someday, I will be healthy enough to even donate blood myself again. For now, the thing that’s kept joy, happiness and love in my life is my grandson. He just turned 6 months old. His face gives me a reason to keep going. I want to watch him go to kindergarten and high school and so on. I also try to treat my transfusions like a day at the spa. The transfusion center provides me with a heated chair that reclines. I have my own TV. Hot chocolate. They always ask if I need anything. It’s scary how low my levels get, but the transfusions keep me alive. Ways You Can Help Taylor and Others Like Taylor, many patients rely on life-saving blood donations. Our Blood Donor Center helps patients heal and recover from conditions, including fractures, pregnancy, lung disease and more. If you can’t give blood, there are other ways to help, including hosting a blood drive or spreading the word about the need for donations. To Donate Blood For an appointment to donate call the LHAAMC Blood Donor Center at 443-481-4215. To have a blood mobile drive at your next function (i.e., community or church function), call 443-481-4272.0
