Unfortunately, the delivery of breast milk to these vulnerable infants is often limited due to insufficient maternal milk supply. Several interventions have been investigated with respect to increasing milk volume in mothers of VLBW infants but confusion exists concerning the interventions' effectiveness. The purpose of this systematic review is to critique the evidence regarding specific milk expression strategies that aim to improve milk volume in mothers of VLBW infants.Published article references, electronic databases, dissertations and theses, and select conference proceedings were searched with the goal of finding studies that target VLBW infants and milk expression techniques in which breast milk volume was an outcome. Analysis of evidence revealed an association between increased milk volume and early initiation of expression, increased frequency of expression, and provision of kangaroo care. The use of simultaneous or sequential milk expression and duration of milk expression sessions were not found to significantly improve milk volume. These results may be used to formulate specific strategies designed to increase breast milk volume in this population. </p>","PeriodicalId":514235,"journal":{"name":"MCN.

{"title":"Should extreme obesity in children be considered child abuse?","authors":"Judy Beal,&nbsp;Jonathan W Decker,&nbsp;Susan Quelly","doi":"10.1097/NMC.0b013e3182a370ee","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/NMC.0b013e3182a370ee","url":null,"abstract":"2013). This is not to say that all cases of childhood obesity are preventable or altered by lifestyle changes. They are not, but what if there is no diagnosed medical cause? What if there is no evidence of any attempts to treat or prevent a child’s increasing weight? When a child faces so many serious sequelae, this should be considered abuse. The shortand long-term effects of obesity are well known. Obesity takes its toll on a person physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. Obesity affects nearly every body system, resulting in such “serious consequences, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance or diabetes, fatty liver disease, and psychosocial complications,” just to name a few (Han, Lawlor, & Kimm, 2010, p. 1740). Perhaps the most frightening part of these consequences is that they occur while the child is still young. It is also no secret that weight discrimination occurs much too frequently. This discrimination begins at a very young age, with obese children rated as the most undesirable playmates or friends by other children. Perhaps the biggest disservice to children who become obese is the long-term health effects related to obesity. These effects are due to inaction by their parents, the primary regulators of the household and lifestyle environment in which these children develop. Recent evidence suggests that obesity during childhood increases the risk of premature mortality and adult morbidity, especially cardiometabolic morbidity, such as diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and stroke. Unfortunately, these effects persist even if the child loses the weight as an adult (Reilly & Kelly, 2011). Therefore, when one considers the question of whether extreme obesity in children should be considered child abuse, it is important to remove emotion from the conversation and approach the question from a scientific perspective. The conditions discussed here all represent a risk for serious harm, which is a stipulation of child abuse. As children are under the responsibility of their parents, parents should therefore be held accountable if there is due cause.","PeriodicalId":514235,"journal":{"name":"MCN.

In addition to two evidence-based treatments (stimulant medication and behavioral therapy) (Hurt et al., 2011), adults and parents of children with ADHD may explore other treatment options such as those associated with nutrition. Thus, having an appreciation of the evidence behind some of the more common nutritional treatments is essential.","PeriodicalId":514235,"journal":{"name":"MCN.
