There is no other way to “break” the dominance of infant formula except to move back to breastfeeding mothers. With this spirit, hundreds of women who joined the Nursing Mothers Association of Indonesia (AIMI) “guerrilla” penetrate the walls of houses, hospitals, and offices to educate mothers about the importance of providing breast milk (milk) to her children.

Education is done by holding a discussion, free seminars, and dissemination of breastfeeding for infant health. In addition, AIMI also open nursing training class. The training was taught a variety of nursing positions, ways to treat breast milk well, and others. In the office, AIMI also socialized to be women employees are given full rights to breastfeed even though the work environment.

AIMI formed in 2007. One is Mia Sutanto penggagasnya (36) which now becomes chairman AIMI. Mia is compelled to form AIMI because he had difficulties when it comes to feeding her first child.

When her first child was born, Mia does not have any knowledge about breastfeeding. It can not be positioned to be able to breast-feed their babies with ease. The result, once finished breastfeeding her body ache. Every time breastfeeding, Mia is also tormented by the pain of breast nipple blister. “I accompanied the mother in the hospital, but he also had no experience because they never breastfeed their children,” said Mia.

This experience that drives AIMI to provide guidance for young mothers in need. Those who are in hospital or at home can ask for assistance to be accompanied when breastfeeding. “Our lactation counselors can come to your home or hospital,” said Mia. AIMI has 33 lactation counselor spread in Jakarta, Bogor, Bandung, and Semarang.

Mothers who feel their rights prevented the nurses at the hospital may also request assistance from AIMI lactation counselor. “When a mother asks her son was treated the same room with him so she could breastfeed, but the nurses kept separated children, the nurses were already breaking the rules,” Sisca said Baroto, Head of Communication Division AIMI. According to Sisca, existing Law No. 36 Year 2009 about health that provide criminal sanctions for those who hinder the program of exclusive breastfeeding.

Although natural, breastfeeding is not easy. Lack of knowledge and support to make the difficulties mothers breastfeed their babies.

When pregnant with their first child six years ago, Kartika (39) was determined to give breast milk (breast milk) in children. As an expectant mother, she understands very well that there is no other intake can beat breast milk even though it claimed to contain colostrum formula though. Colostrum is the first liquid that comes out of nipple new mothers.

Before her son was born, Kartika already equip themselves with a lot of reading books and magazines about the ins and outs of breastfeeding. From there he knew that newborns should be breastfed directly. In addition, babies should also always close to his mother so as not to stress face the new environment outside the womb. Kartika also been prepared in a manner breastfeed correctly.

Once a child is born, the fact that unlike Kartika found that he had imagined. Kartika can not immediately breastfeed her child because the baby was taken to a special baby room. The reason, the baby will be cleaned and the mother could rest before feeding.

Once born, Stars, Kartika child, yet also united with his mother. Women who work in financial institutions in Jakarta, took the initiative to come to the nursery to breastfeed. But every time to nurse the Star, is as reluctant Kartika child feeding.

Schedule milk

Before coming Kartika nurses already provide infant formula to the Stars. This incident occurred repeatedly during Kartika treated in private hospitals located in Tangerang.

Accidentally, in the room head nurse Kartika see a placard with formula feeding schedule for infants in the hospital. “The schedule was prepared for one year and every month provided the milk brand is different,” said Kartika who suspect there is a conspiracy among producers of milk marketing and the hospital.

Also experienced an unpleasant experience Baroto Sisca (36) when she was breastfeeding her child several years ago. Because of her infant son was crying more frequently, often reprimanded her mother-Sisca. He said, breast milk is not nutritious Sisca and dilute so that the baby is always hungry.

Because not bear to hear the baby crying, mother-in-law urged Sisca to switch to formula milk are more concentrated solution so that the baby early satiety. “I survived and refused to give formula milk to my children,” Sisca said.

According to Sisca, when a new child is born, breastfeeding was diluted because it is usually called early breast milk. In breast milk was watery substance called colostrum is beneficial to build resilience of the baby’s body.

“Breast milk is dilute in nature such as drinks for babies. Not that that means the mother’s milk diluted malnutrition. So do not stop breastfeeding because breast milk looks watery, “Sisca said that later joined the Nursing Mothers Association of Indonesia (AIMI).

Pressure

In a weak psychological conditions, new mothers are very vulnerable when under pressure. “Without support from significant others, especially their husbands or parents, mothers who had had breast-feeding could be determined and no longer give priority to breast milk for her baby,” said Mia Sutanto (36), one of the founders AIMI. AIMI is a place for mothers to share information and experience of nursing and become a support group of mothers who had difficulty breastfeeding.

Kartika who need reinforcement of the mother and her husband, just get a different response when still want to breastfeed a child star at the time it hit the yellow. Because the condition is yellow, a sign of baby’s liver can not work perfectly, the nurse took over the Star of the hands of Kartika. According to this nurse Stars had more to drink that yellow condition immediately improved. While breast milk is not considered sufficient to Kartika Stars.

“I was still strong with milk. But my husband and my mother actually asked me to follow suggestions that are considered more experienced nurses to handle a baby, “recalls Kartika. Finally he gave up. During one week in hospital Star, Kartika only occasionally giving her breast milk to the Stars.

The distance between home Kartika with hospital about 15 miles. To provide breast milk, Kartika should go back and forth from home to hospital. He can not stay in the hospital because there is no waiting room facilities that can be used for sleeping. Because of fatigue, Kartika even get sick.

Kartika is still wracked with guilt because he could not give a lot of milk to her child. After star turns six years old, first child Kartika is often attacked by viruses, allergies, and obesity. Outside, many mothers like Kartika still struggling to breastfeed her child.

In addition to family planning through, you can also postpone pregnancy naturally. Only, the couple husband and wife must be diligent wife calculate fertile period.

This system is known as the calendar system. How it works simple, the count of fertility and infertility in a single menstrual cycle. Menstrual cycle is calculated from the first day she got her period and the first day of menstruation in the next month.

With the calculations that, couples can know when to avoid the fertile period if they have not wanted momongan. Or. on the contrary, the couple can know when to make the relationship so quickly to get the little guy.

Natural family planning is no formula. The woman has a menstrual cycle period varies. There are only 28 days, but there is also an up to 31 days. “While for the fertile period is usually between day 11 until day 17 in a single menstrual cycle,” said Boyke.

For example, for a period of 28 days menstrual cycle, when menstruation first day falls on 6 April, the fertile period falls on 16 April. The last day of fertile period in the day-to-17 will fall on 22 April.

Women with irregular menstrual cycles had a different calculation formulas. One menstrual cycle was calculated from the first day of menstruation until the first day of next menstruation. You need to know first period of the shortest and longest cycle. To know the fertile period, the shortest cycle minus 18 days, while the longest period minus 11 days.

If you still want to have sex on fertile days, sexologists Boyke Dian Nugaraha of Tevet married couple Clinic suggested that the men wear condoms. Or if you do not want to use the tools of family planning, couples can perform coitus interrupted.

However, there are important notes about this natural family planning. Indeed, many people believe that if he had sex outside the wife’s fertile period, would the wife will not get pregnant.

Well, Boyke reminded, in the menstrual cycle, women did have the fertile and infertile. Only, we can not conclude a pregnant women would not be outside the fertile period. “Only, in the fertile period greater than the chances of becoming pregnant with infertility,” he said. As a result, women still get pregnant when having sex outside the fertile period

Many of us who choose to eat when the mood worsened. Is there any solution to stop these bad habits?

Bad habits when most women were not good mood is to eat. Although not hungry, but your mouth can not stop chewing.

One study found a very easy way to change these bad habits conducted by Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, United States. They are looking for volunteers who have the bad habit of eating when their mood is not good.

“Many people are aware that it is not true (eating can improve mood), which is why the people who took part in our study did not eat as much as we tell them,” said Dr. Baumeister, PhD, one of the researchers.

Tricks to Stop Eating When Bad Mood
When your mood is not good and started trying to take a snack in the cupboard, the following tips from Dr. Baumeister to avoid eating:

1. Stop and ask yourself, why would you want those snacks.

2. If the mood is not good, then remind yourself to eat a snack such, can not make your feel better.

3. Do something that makes you feel better. For example to call a friend, listening to music or go for a direct jalan.ya appear on skin health.

Inventor and principal investigator of Logical Images, New York, Dr. Art Papier disclose other problems arising from stress. He also explains that stress also reflects poorly on the skin.

There is a direct correlation between stress and aging skin. Create stress hormone cortisol levels increased (this hormone often referred to as stress hormones). With the increase of cortisol, it will damage the collagen and cause inflammation of the skin cells. The results, appearing acne and premature wrinkles on the face.

Not only limited to acne that appears due to stress, the science of dermatology can see the stress is behind the patient’s skin. “Aggressive stress can affect skin condition to infect diseases like herpes,” added Dr. Paiper.

Unfortunately, the mechanism of how stress causes itchiness is still not clear. Clearly there are genetic factors that interact with hormonal factors in conditions such as acne and skin memerahnya, but the most important in this factor is the impact of stress. Stress tends to increase the chemicals in the skin and the blood pressure of the skin that may cause increased blood pressure and conditions like redness. Stress also affects the immune system, which can make a person more susceptible to infectious skin diseases, added Dr. Papier.
