Today at the meet-up, we talked about myths and false assumptions. Here’s one… that bottle-feeding is “easier” for preemies than breastfeeding. According to this 2026 randomized controlled trial, at their first feeding by mouth, preemies who were breastfed had measurably better oxygen levels and heart rates compared with those whose first oral feed was by bottle. The breastfed preemies even took more milk! The summary of the study is in PubMed here:

ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05651035. Clinical Trials URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05651035?cond=NCT05651035&rank=1.

This struck a chord with me. I thought some of you might relate. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1F56ybDuvs/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Sharing this press release from La Leche League International!
https://www.facebook.com/share/1KqHrK4wi9/?mibextid=wwXIfr

La Leche League International (LLLI) joins the global call for the United Nations University – Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-IWEH) to end its collaboration with Nestlé, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of ultra-processed foods. Nestlé’s egregious unethical marketing activities of infant formula triggered the World Health Assembly to establish the International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes in 1981, which is known as the International Code. We urge the UNU-IWEH not to collaborate with any corporation that fails to uphold the World Health Assembly’s International Code.

Another important topic that we’ve discussed lately

Breastfeeding at night is one of the most discussed topics at La Leche League groups, both in person and online. Sleep can be one of the biggest challenges many mothers and families experience.

Our article is designed to give parents the information and reassurance they need to inform their own night-time breastfeeding approach, including some tips on how to get more rest when you can.
