Accountability Report 1995-96

Each year the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources reports to the Office of State Budget that includes the agency's mission, goals and objectives to accomplish the mission, and performance measures regarding the goals and objectives.

Engorgement

The first milk that your body starts making in late pregnancy is called “colostrum.” When your baby is 1–5 days old (normally, about 3½ days old), your milk supply will increase. This is when your milk “comes in.” As your breasts get full with milk they may get hard, swollen and painful. This is called engorgement. It is best to avoid getting engorged, if possible.

Fussy baby

Your baby will “talk” to you in many ways. You will soon learn what his looks and movements mean. For example, when your baby opens his mouth, he may be saying “I’m hungry.” Crying is also a way your baby can talk to you. Your baby may be too hot, cold, bored, excited, gassy or sleepy; his diaper may need changing; he may want to suck on something; or maybe he is sick. The “fussies” will get better over time. This also happens with bottle-fed babies, so it’s NOT your breast milk.

Nipple confusion

Nipple confusion may happen when bottles or pacifiers are given too early to the nursing baby. The tongue, jaw, and mouth don’t move the same way when sucking from the bottle as from the breast. This sheet tells in Spanish and English how to prevent and how to treat the problem.

Thrush

Thrush is a yeast infection that can appear in the mother and the baby. Thrush thrives in warm, dark, moist places. Moms or babies who have taken medicine for an infection may get thrush. Moms who take estrogen-containing birth control pills may get thrush. There are many causes of thrush, but you can get rid of it. You don’t have to stop breastfeeding.

Weaning

There is no RIGHT time to wean your baby from the breast. Family, friends, health professionals and even strangers might try to give you many reasons to stop nursing your baby, but the decision should depend on what you and your baby need and want. Get thoughts from people who know about breastfeeding and decide what is best for YOU and YOUR baby.
