Policy Review

Keep In Mind

This is just one step in supporting breastfeeding.

State WIC is requiring 20 hours of breastfeeding training for all WIC staff (by 2011).

This policy meets the new federal regulations. You can still influence the final rule by sending in your comment to USDA by February, 2010.

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Breastfeeding Support Policy

Supports breastfeeding mothers and babies by not routinely issuing formula during the first 30 days because formula:

interferes in the development of full milk production, and

decreases the chances that a mother will continue breastfeeding.

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

WIC is committed to:

Providing timely counseling and education

Scheduling of a second month appointment

Additional incentives based on Institute of Medicine recommendations

3 Step Counseling Overview

The Dance of Dialog

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

The 3-Step Strategy

A way to talk with mothers about breastfeeding to help them overcome challenges.

3-Step Strategy:

1. Ask open-ended questions2. Affirm her feelings3. Educate

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Step 1: Open-Ended Questions

Open-Ended Questions:

Many answers

Find out what the mother “thinks”

Start a conversation

Start with “What” or “How”

“What do you know about Breastfeeding?”

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Avoid Closed-Ended Questions

Closed-ended questions:

“Yes”, “No” or very short answers

Don’t encourage a mother to share her thoughts

Many begin with “do”

“Do you plan to breastfeed?”

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Open or Closed Ended?

What does that feel like?

Where do you live?

What time is it?

How do you feel about that?

Is he still in the house?

What’s a good plan for you?

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Open-Ended Questions

Circle questions that might be helpful

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Need to Know More?

Don’t understand what the mother is thinking…

There are ways to get more information:

Extending

Clarifying

Reflecting

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Getting More Information

Extending questions help you get more information. For example:

Could you tell me a little more about that?

What else can you tell me about breastfeeding?

When you say breastfeeding hurts, could you tell me a little more about that?

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Clarifying questions find out what she really means. For example:

When you say that it would be uncomfortable, are you saying it would be uncomfortable for you, or for someone else who might see you?

When you say it hurts, are you saying it hurts the entire time you are breastfeeding?

Getting More Information

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Reflecting shows her you understand what she said; often we use statements.

For example: So you think your mother doesn’t want you to

breastfeed

So you feel uncomfortable breastfeeding in front of your family

So you feel your baby is still hungry after you feed her

Getting More Information

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Helpful hints Using mother’s name Repeating her own words Adding extra words

“Why not?”

vs.

“Margie, can you tell me about why you don’t think that’s a good idea?”

Getting More Information

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Pull out the “Ways of Getting More Information” activity sheet.

In pairs or trios, think of ways you could get more information after a mother says the statement on the sheet.

Write extending or clarifying questions or reflective statements for these statements made by mothers.

Getting More Information

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Step 2: Affirm Her Feelings

Figure out what a mother is concerned about…

Affirm her feelings

Feelings are normal & okay Shows respect Builds confidence Feels “safe” to open up & listen to ideas

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Affirming Statements

“I’ve heard a lot of women say that.” “That’s a pretty common reaction or belief.” “I felt that way too.” “My mother told me the same thing.” “Most women go through a period like that

after the baby is born.” “I can tell you are a concerned mom and

want the best for your baby.”

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Activity: Affirm Her Feelings

Pull out the page titled “Affirming Activity”.

In pairs or trios, read the statements & write affirming responses.

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Step 3: Educate

Only share information related to her concerns or questions

Give information in small amounts

Have repeated conversations

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Explore/Offer/Explore

Explore before giving information:

Ask what she already knows or does Offer information Explore their reaction after giving information

How can you use this information? How might this work for you? What do you think about this?

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Activity: Putting it All Together

Read the 2 conversations

In pairs or trios discuss the following:

Baby Behavior Study

What does my baby need?

Why is he always crying?

Is it normal for her to wake up 4 times a night?

How can I tell if she is hungry?

Why can’t I calm him down?

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Study Messages on Cues

Babies can tell moms what they want by using their bodies and noises – cues.

Babies are not always hungry when they cry.

Learning your baby’s cues and how to respond will make you both happy.

Results - Baby Behavior Study

All Sites Combined: More exclusive Breastfeeding Food

Packages selected.

Intervention = 43.6% Control = 16.5%

Less formula given:

3.4% reduction in Formula Feeding 7% reduction in distribution of cans of

formula while caseload increased 3.6%

This project has been funded at least in part with Federal funds from the USDA, Food & Nutrition Service.

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Baby Behavior

Misunderstanding their baby’s behavior was the reason many of the mothers we talked to:

Stopped breastfeeding

Gave too much formula and ran out

Gave solid foods too early

Gave unhealthy foods to their babies

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Inappropriate feeding may lead to overweight.

Parents want to know more about their baby!

Baby Behavior

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Moms believe babies: cry because of hunger, wake because of hunger, and that formula and cereal will prevent this.

They think their babies will stay full longer if they are overfed.

Mothers are pressured by others to feed.

Focus Groups (2003)

Baby Behavior

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Parents need tools to

help them believe

they can handle their

infants’ crying and

waking behavior

without overfeeding.

Peirano et al. J Pediatr 2003; 143: 70-9.

Infant Sleep Patterns

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Active Sleep (REM) is important for brain development.

Babies dream and blood flows to the brain bringing nutrients to active brain cells

Images stimulate brain function

Quiet sleep is deep sleep, no dreaming or movement, important for the brain to rest.

Peirano et al. J Pediatr 2003; 143: 70-9.

Infant Sleep State

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Peirano et al. J Pediatr 2003; 143: 70-9.

Waking & Active Sleep

Beneficial for Mother & Baby.

Waking and Active sleep are important for the brain development of the baby.

Waking may be essential to survival—needs must be met for breathing, feeding, warmth.

Breastfeeding mothers’ hormonal cycles are interrupted by night feeds, not having periods may lower risk for hormone related cancers.

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Breastfed infants wake more than formula-fed infants and:

Spend more time in Active Sleep

Digest breast milk more quickly

o best for growth & development

Formula-feeding moms can promote Active Sleep by putting babies “back to sleep” and using pacifiers.

Is there a “Hunger Cry”?

Hungry babies might cry but they will also:

Bring their hands to their face

Clench their hands

Flex their arms and legs

Root

Make sucking motions and noises

All these behaviors together help us know baby is hungry.

Families Grow Healthy with WIC

Help parents learn to stay calm. Parents can often prevent or

control crying.

Encourage them to get help from friends & family.

Help parents learn their baby’s cues. They won’t stop all crying but

they will feel more in control. Ask them to try your ideas.
