Stuebe in the past has pushed back against Fed Is Best's campaign for all parents to be warned about rare brain damage risks that can result from insufficient breast milk supply, writing that it could threaten the effort to normalize exclusive breastfeeding and unnecessarily expose newborns to supplemental formula feeding, which could jeopardize the establishment of
a consistent breastfeeding routine.
The NUK brand has a strong and
consistent history of investing in research to provide mothers with an appropriate product helping them to relieve their
breastfeeding problems and simplifying their everyday
routine.
GARETH MASSEY: I think it starts so young you know, as once you bring the baby home, you're staring the sleep training and you're creating
routine and you're creating good habits and bad habits, it's being
consistent with swaddling, with
breastfeeding, with having a night time
routine not keeping the babies stimulated when it is suppose to be sleep time, and going through that processes as they start to change and be bigger and moving around you know, still being
consistent with the process no matter what your process is.
Venneman and colleagues5 recently demonstrated that infants who are formula fed are twice as likely to die of SIDS than
breastfed infants based on a case control study of 333 SIDS cases compared to 998 aged matched controls in Germany, from 1998 - 2001,
consistent with previously published reports.35 While no studies show that co-sleeping in the form of bedsharing, specifically, is imperative for
breastfeeding enhancement, many studies have shown that in order to get more sleep and to ease caring for their infants the decision to
breastfeed often leads mothers to adopt
routine bedsharing for at least part of the night36 - 40 even where they never intended to do so.41, 42 Indeed, nearly 50 % of
breastfeeding mothers in the United States and Great Britain adopt bedsharing for some part of the night,38,43 - 45 and
breastfeeding women are twice as likely to sleep with their babies in the first month relative to mothers electing to bottle - feed.39
