Re: [ozmidwifery] Breastfeeding - Parliamentary inquiry
Isnt it ironic how BF rates are declining and cancer rates are increasing. Isnt it more ironic the amount of money (hundreds of billions!!) over the last 30 years that has been poured into cancer research yet the statistics are just as prevalent. Whatever happened to pouring money into prevention...? Drug companies, medical researchand government money are such good friends.sigh Kristin (feeling cynical VERY frustrated) From: "Barbara Glare Chris Bright" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Reply-To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.auTo: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.auSubject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Breastfeeding - Parliamentary inquiryDate: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 15:53:18 +1100 Dear Julie, We are hoping there will be some legislation around the marketing of infant formula - it's quite out of hand at the moment, and is having a detrimental effect on breastfeeding.At best breastfeeding rates are stagnating, and at worst they are declining - certainly not matching the government's own targets.

Mr Somlyay said that the Committee will examine how the Australian government can take a lead role to improve the health of the population through support for breastfeeding. There is considerable evidence suggesting the health of the Australian population may be improved by increasing the rate of breastfeeding, Mr Somlyay said. The committee will be looking at the potential effects on the long term sustainability of Australias health system. In 2001, approximately 54per cent of babies were fully breastfed at 3 months of age or less, compared with around 32per cent of infants by 6 months of age or less. Rates of breastfeeding vary between different population groups. It is worth noting that there is anecdotal evidence that new mothers are not being closely supported or greatly encouraged to persist with breastfeeding, Mr Somlyay said. The public perception is that breastfeeding is not necessarily accepted as the most desirable way of nourishing young babies or preventing long term health problems. The Committee invites public submissions by 28 February 2007 on: How the Commonwealth government can take a lead role to improve the health of the Australian population through support for breastfeeding, with particular consideration to: · The extent of the health benefits of breastfeeding; · Evaluate the impact of marketing of breast milk substitutes on breastfeeding rates and, in particular, in disadvantaged, Indigenous and remote communities; · The potential short and long term impact on the health of Australians of increasing the rate of breastfeeding; · Initiatives to encourage breastfeeding; · Examine the effectiveness of current measures to promote breastfeeding; and · The impact of breastfeeding on the long term sustainability of Australias health system.
