Your world record is a great plus in promoting one of the most beautiful areas in this country and another step towards recognition that our nation values motherhood and best nutrition for it's young. Hope you get lots of challenges across the country next year. Jan Robinson Karleen gave me permission to post this from lactnet. I saw it on the Sydneytv news. Isn't it nice to have good news for once!Subject: World Breastfeeding Week- RecordToday I was a counter for the NSW Central Coast attempt to break the worldrecord for the greatest number of women breastfeeding at the same time. Itwas a fantastic morning. I have never seen so many babies and mums and pramsin the one place. Held at one of the local Cinemas- we couldn't fit in theone theatre because there were so many. The success was due to the greatplanning of the people who organised it and that they managed to geteveryone working together- the area health and local GPs and NMAA (now ABA).There was great coverage on the local radio, newspapers and (I think tonightit was on the TV news).Drumroll please! We did it!!! 536 women breastfeeding! A new WorldRecord!And it's important to note that our area actually has a very lowbreastfeeding rate. Just think of the encouragement that all those women gotfrom just seeing how many other mums there are breastfeeding!Karleen GribbleAustralia Louise Dimmock McLeod RN Midwife IBCLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __Jan Robinson Phone/fax: 011+ 61+ 2+ 9546 4350Independent Midwife Practitioner e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]8 Robin Crescent www: midwiferyeducation.com.auSouth Hurstville NSW 2221 National Coordinator, ASIM__
Re: Guthries at the breast
That's what most caring midwives do!I understandinhaled breastmilk does not causeinfection as a/f does as it is a body fluid with antibodies etc!Denise - Original Message - From: Paul Tracy To: ozmidwifery Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 9:53 PM Subject: Guthries at the breast Hi all, Just wondering if anybody out there is aware of any information on performing guthries on the babies whilst they are at the breast. I read about it on this list about six or so months ago and have been doing them this way ever since. However, when trying to introduce the idea to the ward, several of my colleagues are concerned the baby may aspirate if sucking whilst stabbed.This has certainly never happened to me and if anything I find the baby bearly knows it is happening, is more relaxed and the blood flows more freely. I also believe the mothers are more content with this method (as am I!!). What are your thoughts on this and have you any information out there that I can utilise. Thankyou Tracy
Re: guthries at the breast.
Mind you often a Guthrie is the only jab or other pain a homebirth baby is given in the first week to longer!!?? Denise - Original Message - From: Jodie Hopkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ozmidwifery List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 9:56 PM Subject: guthries at the breast. I have seen a baby bawk at breast feeding after repeatedly being stabbed whilst feeding over the first few days. ie, vit k , hep B, NNST and Billi.I didnt blame the poor tike, after his mum would put him to the breast before the injection, following instructions by a well meaning midwife, that this was the easiest way to do it.Obviously the baby got the idea that breast feeding is painful . since then, I have stopped doing any interventions whilst a baby is feeding, so as to promote that time as pleasurable to both mother and baby. I dont know whether a babe could aspirate, but i guess anything's possible. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

a lateral thought
It has occurred to me: Any midwife can attend a birth in any setting, on their own responsibility, and they don't have to tell anyone they are doing it. It could be argued that unless a midwife has a condition on her/his registration that they cannot provide services out of hospital, they should be expected to be able provide a full range of out of hospital maternity services. (in the same way that midwives with B Mid who are not RNs are required to have a condition placed on their registration, that they are restricted to midwifery) They should be required to demonstrate competence in out-of-hospital birth, and to carry the same PI insurance that independent midwives carry. If the profession and the consumers demanded a move like this, it would really throw the cat among the pigeons. That's the way it looks from where I sit. wadayathink?

Re: centralised EFM.
Carol, I am a consumer not a midwife but i have recently been reading Marsden Wagner's Pursuing the Birth Machine (1994). Although t is a bit dated now, it contains discussion of EFM and its efficacy with references to scientific studies as at 1994. regards, Barb From: Carol Thorogood [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Carol Thorogood [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2001 21:15:00 +0930 To: Ozmidwifery List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: centralised EFM. Hi all Yes I am still around, just ever so quiet! Does anyone have any info or know where I can get it or does anyone have experience with centralised EFM in 'delivery' suites? I need to know about the sorts of EFM where there is a console in the office or somewhere to which all the fetal monitors are linked up. Apparently the monitor 'reads' the EFM and the screen goes red if the trace goes off. The mid students and I have done literature searches and can't find anything about its efficacy. Help, please.
