Anemia is uncommon in the breastfed baby due to the following reasons: 1) a healthy, full - term infant has ample iron stores
at birth to last him
at least for the
first six months of life, 2) although the amount of iron in breastmilk is small, it is readily absorbed
at a
rate of 49 % compared to 4 % of the iron in formula.

When figuring out the
rate of perinatal death for in - hospital
births or out - of - hospital
births, there are four main numbers we're looking
at: total number of
births, total number of term deaths (past 37 weeks), intrapartum deaths (during labor), and neonatal deaths (
first 6 days of life).
We know from the UK Birthplace study that, with fully trained MWs cooperating within the health system, tight risk - out and 40 % transfer
rate, the babies of

at 3X the
rate of similar hospital
births (quite aside from hypoxic and physical injury).

at first birth.14 We performed sensitivity analyses with discount
rates of 0 % and 5 %.

rates (excluding lethal anomalies) for babies born to low risk women that were confirmed to be alive

first contact with the cohort was
at infant age 9 months, when mothers and their partners were interviewed in their homes and information obtained on a number of factors including the circumstances of pregnancy and delivery, and infant feeding practices since

In 1986, 2 years before these data were collected, the United States ranked 16th (3.6 / 1000) in postneonatal death, well below Finland (
first; 1.8 / 1000) and Sweden (second; 2.0 / 1000).24 The US breastfeeding prevalence in 1986 was 57 %
at birth and 22 %
at 6 months, 25 whereas in Finland and Sweden, the prevalence
at 6 months then was still ~ 60 % and 50 %, respectively.26 Although the United States still trails the Nordic countries both in breastfeeding and in postneonatal mortality, the US
rate of postneonatal death has fallen steadily between the late 1980s and now, and breastfeeding has increased.
In a study presented today
at the Society for Maternal - Fetal Medicine's (SMFM) annual meeting, The Pregnancy Meeting ™, researchers unveiled findings that suggest that induction of labor
at 39 weeks of gestation among healthy,

birth as compared to expectant management among the same population.
