Breastfeeding provides complete nutrition for infants and is the physiologic norm. Breast milk is produced through interactions between hormones like prolactin and oxytocin, and infant feeding reflexes. It contains antibodies and factors that protect against infection. Proper positioning and latch are important for breastfeeding success. Common issues include engorgement, sore nipples, and perceived low milk supply, which can often be addressed by ensuring frequent, proper feeding. Health professionals should promote, educate, and support breastfeeding through clinical practices, encouraging policies, and community outreach.

Notes on nutritional needs of children & infantsBabitha Devu
There are various methods of feeding a child. Like breastfeeding, weaning & artificial feeding.
All the types of feeding which help to fulfill the nutritional need of a child as per the increase in age are elaborated in this presentation.
This slides contain description about breast feeding, anatomy of breast, types of human milk, good position for latching, holding for the baby, advantages of breast feeding, contraindication of breast feeding, barriers and problems associated with breast feeding with their management
When it comes to good positions to use while breastfeeding, your comfort as well as the ease with which your baby will be able to feed is the first and foremost concern. Finding a position that you are most comfortable and happy with will make it easier for your baby to latch on to your breasts and feed with ease. Here are some of the best breast-feeding positions that you might use when you are breastfeeding.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. INTRODUCTION
The nature has designed the provision that
infants be fed upon their mother’s milk.
They find their feed and mother at the same
time. It is a complete nourishment for them
both for their body and soul.
RABINDARANATH TAGORE
5. PHYSIOLOGY OF MILK PRODUCTION
& SECRETION
• Breast milk is produced as a result of
interaction between hormones and
reflexes
• Hormones secreted by mother
Prolactin helps in the production and
secretion
Oxytocin causes ejection of milk (‘let-
down reflex’)
• Reflexes in the baby
Rooting, sucking and swallowing
13. Factors Human milk Cow milk

14. The anti-infective properties of
breast milk are manifold-
• No bacterial contamination
• Immunoglobulins IgA,IgG, IgM
• Has cellular elements – Macrophages,
lymphocytes, lymphoid cells
• Has complement system C3 & C4
• Bifidus factor
15. • Decreases diarrheal/ resp infection
episodes
• Decreased allergy/atopy /infl dis/DM
• Specific inhibitors – antiviral, anti
streptococcal factors
• PABA – protection against Malaria
16. PREPARATION FOR BREAST
FEEDING

Motivation & education
Diet – Adequate Calories & fluids
Preparation of breast –Treat inverted/ retracted/
cracked nipple
Teach – Technique of feeding, factors relating to
let-down reflex
Breast examination at least twice during
pregnancy

18. The first 24hrs
• Mothers produce 30-100 ml of colostrum in
the first 24 hours, with only 2-10 ml per
feeding on day 1
• So how will that fill the infant?

27. FOUR SIGNS OF GOOD
ATTACHMENT
1. Baby’s mouth wide open
2. Lower lip turned outwards
3. Baby’s chin touches mother’s breast
4. Most of areola inside baby’s mouth
30. MEASURES TO INCREASE
BREAST MILK
• Self confidence
• Plenty of fluids, milk
• Good sleep & rest. Rest before feeds
• Treat breast engorgement, cracked nipples
• Shorten the time between feeds
• Feed on both sides
• Galactogogues (culturally popular) – Garlic,
ginger, coconut, jaggery, ghee, pepper, bajra,
sonth, khuskhus.
• Drugs - Chloropromazine, etachlorpromide
31. SIGNS THAT A BABY IS FEEDING
CORRECTLY AND ADEQUATELY
• Gains weight appropriately.
• Regains birth weight by 7-10 days after
birth
• Has at least 3 to 4 loose, seedy bowel
movements each day.
• After 3-4 weeks, the baby may have
bowel movements less often.
• Sleeps between feedings.
32. • Has at least 6 wet diapers every
day.
• Is fed 8-12 times every 24 hours
• Slow rhythmic sucking
• Audible swallowing
• Feels let down reflex
• Appears satisfied after nursing.
33. PROBLEMS RELATED TO
BREAST FEEDING
• Baby
–Under feeding, over feeding, aerophagy,
regurgitation
–Poor latching on, Nipple confusion
–Preterm/ SFD, twin babies, thrush, Cong
anomalies (CLP, TEF, Macroglossia)
35. »Mother on drugs - Anti
thyroid, Lithium, anti
cancer, chloramphenicol,
metronidazole,
sulphonamides
»Working mothers - Lack of
time & privacy to feed
»Poor inclination to breast
feed
36. Inverted nipples
• Make attachment to the breast difficult
• Should be diagnosed antenatally
• Mother needs additional support to feed
• Treatment –
• Stretch nipple manually/ by plastic
syringe and roll out several times/day
before feeding
39. BREAST ENGORGEMENT
• Milk production is normally
increased by 2nd and 3rd day of
delivery
• Delayed or infrequent feeding
leads to accumulation of milk
• Breasts become hard, painful,
warm and swollen
41. Treatment of breast
engorgement
• Gently express the milk to soften the breast
• Help the mother to correctly latch the baby to
breasts
• Warm compress can relieve pain and make
breast soft
• Massage the breasts before and after feeding to
stimulate “let down reflex” so that baby can
feed easily
• Wear well fitting bra for support
• Empty the breast every 2 hourly
42. SORE/ CRACKED NIPPLE
• Caused by incorrect attachment of baby to
the breast
• Frequent washing with soap and water
43. • Treatment
• Continue breast feeding with correct
attachment
• Apply hind milk to the nipple after
breast feeding
• Do not use soap as it removes the
protective oil and cause drying
• Expose the breasts to air between feeds
• Some oils can be applied specially
coconut oil
44. • ‘NOT ENOUGH MILK’
• Mother may complain of ‘not enough milk’
• Make sure that her perception about
inadequate milk is true
• Reassure if baby is gaining weight and has
other signs of adequate feeding
• If the baby is not gaining weight, ask
mother to feed more frequently, add night
feeds
• Encourage mother to take plenty of fluids
• Back massage useful for stimulating
lactation
45.
46. EXPRESSION OF BREAST
MILK
Massage breast from chest to
nipple
Place thumb on areola above nipple,
and the fingers encircling below nipple
Press thumb and fingers inwards
towards chest…….and release
47. METHODS OF EXPRESSION
OF BREAST MILK
Hand expression
–Breast pumps
–Hand pumps
–Mechanical cylindrical pumps
–Electric pumps
48.
49.
50. STORAGE OF EBM
• EBM in washed container can be stored:
• For 8 hours at room temperature
• For 24 hours in refrigerator
• For 3 months at –20 deg in deep freezer
51. • Never feed EBM (Expressed Breast Milk)
with bottle. It leads to nipple confusion.
Instead use spoon or palada
52. MEASURES TO STOP BREAST
MILK PRODUCTION
• Oestrogens – Bromocriptine
• Inj Mixogen - Has testosterone and
oestrogen
• Reduce fluid intake
• Tight binder over breast
55. BARRIERS TO EXCLUSIVE
BREAST FEEDING
• Personal
• Reluctance to continue breast feeding
• Figure conscious
• Women and their sexuality
• Carrier oriented
• Inability to feed due to other commitments-Family
• Pressure to conceive again
• Cultural norms and traditions-Social
• Cultural practices
• Lack of support in the work place
56.
57. ROLE OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
IN SUPPORTING AND PROTECTING
BREAST FEEDING
• General
–Promote, support and protect breast
feeding enthusiastically
–Promote breast feeding as a cultural
norm and encourage family and
societal support
–Recognize the effect of cultural
diversity on breast feeding attitudes
and practices
58. • Education
–Become knowledgeable and
skilled in management of breast
feeding
–Encourage development of
formal training in curriculum
–Use every opportunity to provide
age appropriate breast feeding
education to children and adults
in schools & colleges
59. • Clinical practices
–Work colloraboratively with
obstetrician so that women receive
accurate and sufficient information.
–Promote hospital policies and
procedures that facilitate breast
feeding
–Encourage time to time training in
breast feeding for all health care staff
–Provide breast pumps and private
feeding areas
60. •Society
–Encourage the media to portray breast
feeding as positive and normative
–Encourage employer’s to provide
appropriate facilities and adequate time
in the work place for breast feeding
and/or milk expression
–Build crèche facilities at the work place
–Adjustment of working hours so that
breast feeding can be continued
–Encourage to have EBM for working
mothers
