How you feed your newborn is the first nutrition decision you will make for your child. Take a closer look at these guidelines for breastfeeding and bottle-feeding so you can make an informed decision.
Breast or Bottle?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other professional groups concerned with the care of newborns advocate breastfeeding as best for your baby. Specifically, the AAP recommends that babies be breastfed exclusively for about the first 6 months. Following the introduction of solid foods, breastfeeding should continue through the first year of life and beyond, if desired.
Breastfeeding may not be possible or preferable for all women. Deciding to breastfeed or bottle-feed a baby is usually based on the mother's comfort level with breastfeeding as well as her lifestyle, but breastfeeding may not be recommended for some mothers and babies. If you have any questions about whether to breastfeed your child, talk to your pediatrician.
Remember, your baby's nutritional and emotional needs will be met whether you choose to breastfeed or formula-feed.
Breastfeeding Advantages
Breastfeeding your newborn has many advantages. Perhaps most important, breast milk is the perfect food for a human baby's digestive system. It contains the vitamins and minerals that a newborn requires, and all of its components — lactose, protein (whey and casein), and fat — are easily digested by a newborn's immature system. Commercial formulas try to imitate breast milk, and come close, but the exact composition cannot be duplicated.
Also, breast milk contains antibodies that help protect infants from a wide variety of infectious diseases, including diarrhea. Studies suggest that breastfed babies are less likely to develop certain medical problems, including diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, and allergies. Breastfeeding may also decrease the chances that the child will become overweight or obese.
Breastfeeding is great for moms, too. It burns calories and helps shrink the uterus, so nursing moms get back into shape quicker. Breastfeeding may also protect mom from breast and ovarian cancer.
Some moms find breastfeeding easier and quicker than formula-feeding; it needs no preparation, and you don't run out of breast milk in the middle of the night. Also, breastfeeding costs little. Nursing mothers do need to eat more and may want to buy nursing bras and pads, a breast pump, or other equipment. But these expenses are generally less than the cost of formula.
Breastfeeding meets a variety of emotional needs for both moms and babies — the skin-to-skin contact can enhance the emotional connection, and providing complete nourishment can help a new mother feel confident in her ability to care for her newborn.
Formula-feeding Advantages
Commercially prepared infant formula is a nutritious alternative to breast milk. Bottle-feeding can offer more freedom and flexibility for the mother, and it makes it easier to know how much the baby is getting.
Because babies digest formula more slowly than breast milk, a baby who is getting formula may need fewer feedings than one who breastfeeds. Formula-feeding also can make it easier to feed the baby in public, and allows the father and other family members to help feed the baby, which can enhance bonding.
Considering the Limitations
With all the good things known about breastfeeding, why doesn't every mother choose to breastfeed?
Breastfeeding requires a substantial commitment from a mother. Some mothers feel tied down by the constant demands of a nursing newborn. Since breast milk is easily digested, breastfed babies tend to eat more often than babies who are fed formula. This means mom may find herself in demand as frequently as every 2 or 3 hours in the first few weeks. This can be tiring, but it's not long before babies feed less frequently and sleep longer at night.
Some new mothers need to get back to work outside the home or separate from their babies from time to time for other reasons. Some of these moms opt for formula-feeding so other caregivers can give the baby a bottle. Mothers who want to continue breastfeeding can use a breast pump to collect breast milk to be given in a bottle so their babies still get its benefits even when mom isn't available to breastfeed.
Other family members (dads most of all) may want to share in this most fundamental of baby care routines and participate in feeding the baby. When mom is breastfeeding, dad or siblings may want to stay close by. Helping mom get comfortable, or providing a burp cloth when needed, will let them be part of the experience. Once breastfeeding is established, other family members can help out by giving the baby pumped breast milk in a bottle when mom needs a break.
Sometimes a woman may feel embarrassed or apprehensive about the prospect of breastfeeding. These feelings usually disappear once a successful breastfeeding process is set. It's often helpful to seek advice and perspective from those who've gone through the experience. Most hospitals and birthing centers can provide in-depth instruction on breastfeeding techniques to new mothers. Your pediatrician, nurse practitioner, or nurse can answer questions or put you in touch with a lactation consultant or a breastfeeding support group.
In some cases, a mother's health may interfere with her ability to breastfeed. For example, mothers undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and moms who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the virus that causes AIDS) should not breastfeed. If you have a medical condition or take any medications regularly, or if you or your baby get sick, talk with your doctor about whether it's OK to breastfeed. If you have to stop nursing temporarily, it's important to continue to pump breast milk to maintain milk production.
In some situations, it may not possible to breastfeed, such as when a baby is sick or born prematurely. Mothers should speak with their baby's doctor about expressing and storing milk. Even if the infant cannot breastfeed, breast milk may be given via a feeding tube or bottle.
Sometimes mothers who have inverted nipples may have difficulty breastfeeding, but with the help of a lactation consultant this usually can be overcome. Likewise, women who have had plastic surgery on their breasts should be able to successfully breastfeed. Be sure to speak to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Avoid using pacifiers or bottles until after the first month of life. Introducing them before breastfeeding is known to cause "nipple confusion," and can lead to an infant giving up the breast.
Just as breastfeeding has its unique demands, so does bottle-feeding. Bottle-feeding can require a great deal of organization and preparation, especially if you want to take your baby out. Also, formula costs can be considerable.
It's important to make sure that you have enough formula on hand, and bottles that are clean and ready to be used. Here are a few key guidelines for formula feeding:
- Be sure to carefully follow directions on the label when preparing formula.
- Bottles left out of the refrigerator longer than 1 hour and any formula left in the bottle that a baby doesn't finish should be discarded.
- Prepared bottles of formula should be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than 24 hours and should be carefully warmed just before feeding.
- A bottle of formula (or breast milk) should not be warmed in a microwave. The bottle can heat unevenly and leave "hot spots" that can burn a baby's mouth.
Is My Newborn Getting Enough to Eat?
Your newborn should be nursing eight to 12 times per day during about the first month. In the beginning, mothers may want to try nursing 10 to 15 minutes on each breast, then vary the time as necessary.
Once your milk supply is established, breastfeeding should be "on demand" (when your baby is hungry), which is generally every 1 to 3 hours. As newborns get older, they'll need to nurse less frequently — some may feed every hour and a half, whereas others may go 2 or 3 hours between feedings. For babies who are getting formula, they'll likely take about 2 to 3 ounces every 2 to 4 hours. Newborns should not go more than about 4 hours without feeding.
Call your baby's doctor if you need to awaken your newborn frequently or continually urge your baby to suck.
Most experts suggest you nurse or feed your baby whenever he or she seems hungry. Signs that babies are hungry include:
- moving their heads from side to side
- opening their mouths
- sticking out their tongues
- placing their hands and fists to their mouths
- puckering their lips as if to suck
- nuzzling again their mothers' breasts
- showing the rooting reflex (when a baby moves its mouth in the direction of something that's stroking or touching its cheek)
A rigid feeding schedule is not necessary; you and your baby will eventually establish your unique feeding pattern. Babies know (and will let their parents know) when they're hungry and when they've had enough. Watch for signs that your baby is full (slow, uninterested sucking; turning away from the breast or bottle) and stop the feeding once these signs appear.
As babies gain weight, they begin to eat more at each feeding and go longer between feedings. There may be other times when your infant seems hungrier than usual. Continue to nurse or feed on demand. Nursing mothers need not worry — breastfeeding stimulates milk production and your supply of breast milk will automatically adjust to your baby's demand for it.
New mothers, especially breastfeeding moms, are often concerned that their infants may not be getting enough to eat. It's important for breastfed infants to be seen by their pediatrician 48 to 72 hours after a mother and newborn leave the hospital. During this visit, the baby will be weighed and examined, and the mother's breastfeeding technique can be evaluated. It's also an opportunity for nursing mothers to ask questions. If a breastfed baby is doing well, the doctor will probably schedule another visit for around 2 weeks of age. Formula-fed babies are usually checked between 2 and 4 weeks of age, unless parents have specific concerns.
You can be assured that your baby is getting enough to eat if he or she seems satisfied, produces about four to six wet diapers a day, has regular bowel movements, sleeps well, is alert when awake, and is gaining weight. A baby who is fussing, crying, seems hungry, and does not appear satisfied after feeding may not be getting enough to eat. If you're concerned that your baby isn't getting enough to eat, call your doctor.
Many infants "spit up" a small amount after eating or during burping, but a baby should not vomit after feeding. This can be due to overfeeding, but vomiting after every feeding may be a sign of an allergy, digestive problem, or other problem that needs medical attention. If you have concerns that your baby is spitting up too much, call your doctor.
Although your baby will probably start on some solid foods between 4 and 6 months, breast milk or formula will remain the most important source of nutrition through the first year of life.
Nutritional Supplements
Breast milk contains the right combination of vitamins and easily absorbed iron that will be sufficient until your baby begins eating iron-rich cereals around 6 months of age. A healthy infant being nursed by a healthy mother does not need any additional vitamins or nutritional supplements, with the exception of vitamin D. Breast milk does contain some vitamin D, and vitamin D is produced by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. However, sun exposure increases the risk of skin damage, so parents are advised to minimize exposure. The AAP recommends that all breastfed babies begin receiving vitamin D supplements during the first 2 months and continuing until the infant consumes enough vitamin D-fortified formula or milk (after 1 year of age).
Formula contains the right blend of vitamins, including vitamin D, for a baby, so supplements are usually not necessary. Iron-fortified formula is recommended for a baby's first year and should contain up to 12 milligrams of iron per liter.
Water, juice, and other foods are usually unnecessary during a baby's first 6 months. Breast milk or formula provides everything babies need nutritionally until they start eating solid foods. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about feeding your newborn.

Reform, research and public policy—these are just some of the myriad of health care-related issues that are top of mind for faculty, physicians, researchers and policy experts at UMass Medical School. To provide a forum in which members of the UMMS community can learn more about these topics and engage in meaningful discussions, Commonwealth Medicine (CWM) developed the Perspectives in Health Care Speaker Series.
The series, which runs through May 2011, is co-sponsored by CWM's Center for Health Policy and Research and Center for Health Law and Economics. It features presentations by national health care leaders that cover a variety of topics, including cost containment, the impact of health care reform in Massachusetts and the nation, ideas for improving performance of health care systems, comparisons of international health care systems, implementation strategies, long-term care, health care quality and children's health. A question-and-answer session is part of each one-hour presentation.
The series kicked off in September with a presentation by Stuart Altman, PhD, the Sol C. Chaikin Professor of National Health Policy at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management, who spoke about health care spending in Massachusetts and the nation. In October, Cathy Schoen, MS, senior vice president for research and evaluation at The Commonwealth Fund, discussed new opportunities to improve health system performance. And in November, Frances Miller, JD, professor of law, public health and health care management at Boston University, presented a detailed comparison of international health systems. For an overview of these discussions, including presentation slides and video, visit www.umassmed.edu/commed/perspectives-in-health-care.aspx.
The next installment of the Perspectives in Health Care Speaker Series, which will take place at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 11, in the Amphitheatre at the South Street campus in Shrewsbury, will feature Elizabeth A. McGlynn, PhD, associate director at RAND Health, distinguished chair in health quality and senior principal researcher for the RAND Corporation. Dr. McGlynn will present "Quality: Analyzing Massachusetts and Federal Health Reform."

News Article
For the first time, Silent Hill has set up house at Universal Studios's Halloween Horror Night. The yearly Halloween extravaganza gets bigger each year, and Silent Hill is just one of the additions. Horror Nights creative director John Murdy took time out from setting props and taking meetings (this year's haunt hasn't opened yet, and he is already getting the ball rolling for 2013) to take us on a tour of their own Silent Hill.
Since Silent Hill was one of the last mazes to be installed, it is one of the least-populated attractions. Even still, with what was there, we got a good idea of what is in store for visitors. The maze will take you through all the stuff that is typically not in the visitor's brochure: entry to the town is via sewer; from there you head into the tailor's shop; tour through Midwich Elementary (including a stop off in the little girl's room); visit the hospital; and end up in Pyramid Head's lair.
With such an enormous body of work to choose from, Murdy admits he had a hard time paring down the scenes. Not a fan of the Silent Hill video game series until now, he turned to Twitter to ask fans what they wanted out of a Silent Hill maze. The results were overwhelming. The number one requested character was Pyramid Head, and you will see him multiple times in the maze, walking on stilts. Second on the list was the Nurse, and Murdy promises there will be "lots and lots of nurses." The third, somewhat surprisingly, was Robbie Rabbit. His role in the maze will be more subtle, but very noticeable. Other characters you may recognize include Alessa, Boogeyman, and the Doll Monster.
In a conceit Murdy came up with for last year's Hostel maze, Silent Hill will have an "easter egg" for visitors. Every night, Murdy will tweet out a password. Visitors to the park can then tell this password to the Postmaster who will be looming around the entrance of the maze, and get a surprise freebie. Murdy is working directly with video game company Konami to secure a wide range of goodies.

Results 1 to 10 of 11
LED Taillight Bulb Comparison - LUMEN LED
Well, I finally bit the bullet and completed my LED transformation. I now have replaced all of the standard halogen bulbs on my truck, to LED (excluding headlight, fogs).
The main reason I went with this option, is because I love the look of the "instant on - instant off" of LEDs. In addition, I really like the look of the stock chevy tail light and headlight housings, so I didn't want to go with after market LED housing units.
In the picture, it may appear that I turned the lighting down on the LED photo, but I believe it was just the camera adjusting. The pictures were taken at the same lighting level.
Results: The LED's are definitely brighter than the standard halogen. I'd say by about 35-50%. As you can see in the picture, the LEDs illimunate more of the chrome reflector inside the housing. I purchased these LUMEN LEDs from carid.com. They are the CANBUS style LEDs. I am very pleased with the results. The only downfall I suppose is that they are $14.99 per bulb, compared to $5.99 for two stand halogen bulbs. But, in the end I think its worth it.
I spent $182 alltogether on LED blubs (parking lamps(4), taillamps(4), third brake lights (4), reverse lights (2)), which probably wouldn't even have bought me one after market taillight LED housing.
The only problem that I have encountered is with the CANbus system. When I activate my turn signal, it flashes at a normal rate for about 3 flashes then speeds up as if there is a bulb missing. I am calling carid.com today to try and solve this issue. The whole point of the CANbus style LED is to prevent this from occuring, to my knowledge because it has the built in load resistor. If anyone has experienced this problem, please feel free to help.
Pros: Lower power draw, brighter, instant on/off, cheap upgrade compared to after market LED housings
Cons: Actaul cost per bulb is expensive when compared to halogen, CANbus error eliminating system isnt working properly with the turn signals(attempting to contact IT)2010 Chevy Silverado Z71 LTZ 4x4

Well, I have to say I am really interested in this new brand "Lumen".... I googled them and they make light bars and everything (Like Rigid), but their prices are almost 2/3 less than Rigid for light bars.
There has to be a catch somewhere, either build quality, life expectancy of the LED's or how bright the LED's are. If they are waterproof or not.

Don't load resistors get really hot? Thought they were supposed to be mounted to metal. How do they make them built in without damage due to heat? I also heard some recommend grounding it too.2011 Silverado 1500 TX Edition 5.3L V8
damn that looks sweet. i really want a set of these for my old '93.... its in that awkward not classic, but not- cool like Bob Seager ust to be- look
so it needs some suttle upgrades... but $180 for bulbs is a lot of money...
and you say they dont 'blinker' well? did you ever get that resolved?Gas was $1.83 when Obama took office.....

428 Rahway Ave, Woodbridge, NJ 07095
The Parker Press Park is a noble effort. The small park and the recreation of a printing press office on it was built…More in 1976 as an attempt to pay tribute to James Parker, a Revolutionary War patriot and a Woodbridge Founding Father.
Thing is, nobody knows exactly where his printing press was located, so the Rahway Ave. site is a good compromise.
Parker brought the first printing press to New Jersey. He was a printing colleague of Benjamin Franklin, and Parker published New Jersey's first magazine. He also printed broadsides, books, and even New Jersey currency, with a distinctive tobacco leaf on it and the words, "To Counterfit Is To Die."
But like his printing press, nobody knows exactly where he is buried. It's somewhere in the White Church cemetery, but the headstone disappeared long ago.
The park is fenced off and opened irregularly. It host arts and crafts festivals, children's events, beer fests, and serves as a Civil War encampment.

Read the full excerpt
The actors and post-production team behind Frank Herbert's classic Dune series explain what it was like to bring one of science fiction's greatest literary achievements to life as an audiobook.
Listen to this audiobook excerpt from the science fiction novel Dune: The Battle of Corrin by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. Following their internationally bestselling novels Dune: The Butlerian Jihad and Dune: The Machine Crusade, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson forge a final tumultuous finish to their prequels to Frank Herbert's Dune. In the greatest battle in science fiction history, human and machine face off one last time...
Brian Herbert, the author of numerous novels and short stories, has been critically acclaimed by leading reviewers in the United States and around the world. The eldest son of science fiction superstar Frank Herbert, he, with Kevin J. Anderson, is the author of Hellhole and continues his father's beloved Dune series with books including The Winds of Dune, House Atreides, Sandworms of Dune, among other bestsellers. He also wrote a biography of his father, Dreamer of Dune. Herbert graduated from high school at age 16, and then attended U.C. Berkeley, where he earned a B.A. in Sociology. Besides an author, Herbert has been an editor, business manager, board game inventor, creative consultant for television and collectible card games, insurance agent, award-winning encyclopedia salesman, waiter, busboy, maid and a printer. He and his wife once owned a double-decker London bus, which they converted into an unusual gift shop. Herbert and his wife, Jan, have three daughters. They live in Washington state.
