Clinic Health CHA-MAY WEEYA- MEDICINETALK Siletz Communit Contract Health Services Update by Judy Muschamp, Health Director Beginning Aug. 1, 2006, Contract Health Services will defer dental (ex cept for relief of pain) and optometry requests until Jan. 1, 2007. This action is necessary to continue operating the program within funds allocated. We realize this can pose problems for children returning to school. Op tometry appointments are available, however, either at the Siletz Clinic or you can contact the Grand Ronde Health & Wellness Center to check for openings in its department. Breastfeeding by Barbara Danna, RN CLC Breastfeeding is commonly seen as a relationship between mother and baby. This is true, but mother and baby need the help of their family. I recently saw a young women breastfeeding her four-month-old baby in an outdoor restaurant. She was sit ting, juggling her baby on her lap with one hand and trying to hold the front of her dress open with the other hand so baby could get to the breast to teed. While her hands were busy with baby and too busy to feed herself, her husband was feeding her bites of food from his own plate. This is breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a family affair. It’s a commitment a woman makes to give her baby the best possible start in life she can. Research has shown that breastfeeding is the best source of food for baby the first year of life. Commit to Quit Challenge A Program to Encourage Smokers/Chewers to Quit! But American culture is not con ducive to breastfeeding. Women are busy. They often have to work full-time jobs, they may have older children to care for, and they have household chores to keep up. They need the sup port and help of their families. Breastfeeding takes a lot of time. They need husbands to help with laun dry, dishes, homework, and bath time. They need grandparents to help with older siblings or grocery shop so mom and baby have time to breastfeed and nap. Breastfeeding is the most healthy, natural way to nourish a baby. The Siletz Tribal Breastfeeding Program supports, educates, and protects breastfeeding. Please contact me 541 -444-9604 or 1-800-648-0449, ext. 1604, with ques tions regarding this article.
