Mrs. Burke has performed a variety of duties during her 25 years of service. by Joyce Buhler, AVMC Dietician During the 70s and 80s, increasing numbers of mothers have once again chosen to breastfeed their infants. Mothers in the Uintah Basin are no exception ex-ception to this trend. The maternity nursing staff at Ashley Valley Medical Center estimates that 90 to 95 percent of the mothers who deliver there are choosing choos-ing to breastfeed their infants.' Nutritionists, physicians, and nurses agree that breastfeeding is usually the best way to give an infant a good start in life. The breastfeeding experience is superior nutritionally, immunologically im-munologically and emotionally for both mother and baby when the mother has the support she needs to take on this method of infant feeding. The nutrient composition of mother's milk is ideal for her baby. The vitamins, minerals, protein, fat and lactose present in mother's milk is in the right proportions and are easily easi-ly digested and absorbed by the infant's in-fant's digestive tract. ' There are distinct differences in the nutrient content of various mammals' milk. Cow's milk is perfect for calves, chimpanzee's milk is perfect for baby chimps, goat's milk is perfect for kids and human milk is ideal for human beings. The human immune and digestive systems are not totally, mature at , birth. Breast milk contains antibodies and other immunological factors which help protect against disease and infection during the lactation period. Breastfed babies are relatively free of allergies, since babies aren't allergic to their mother's milk. Most allergists recommend that mothers who have allergies of any type breastfeed their infants. Since a newborn's digestive tract is not totally mature, he may absorb ab-sorb proteins before they are complete digested, which may cause allergic reactions in infants who are bottle fed during the early weeks of life. In addition to these physical advantages, advan-tages, many mothers feel the major reason to breastfeed is to provide that special relationship and closeness that accompanies nursing. Few other experiences ex-periences in life are as satisfying and rewarding. There are other advantages to breastfeeding, including convenience, economy and development of the infants' in-fants' jaw muscles. Unfortunately, though most mothers choose to breastfeed, many switch to formula after a few days or weeks. This occurs most often because the new mother does not have the support or encouragement to get through a few rough times and often becomes frustrated and gives up. Breastfeeding is a natural process, just as birth is a natural process; however, techniques to make it easier are learned. During earlier generations, genera-tions, the ability and confidence to breastfeed was passed on from mother to daughter. Most grandmothers of the 70s and 80s did not nurse their infants, thus breaking the chain of education . and support. One frequent reason mothers express ex-press for switching to bottle feeding is, "I didn't have enough milk." The law of supply and demand governs the milk supply. In other words, the more the infant nurses, the more milk the mother will have to supply. Supplemental Sup-plemental bottles of formula will decrease the mother's supply. Successful nursing mothers must also take good care of their own men- Sheriff's office honors employee By Trod Mnkt Eprll Allilltint Ed. 'or Bernice Burke with the Uintah County Sheriff's office was recently honored for 25 years of "dedicated service." Burke was honored with a surprise party given by fellow employees Thursday, March 6. Several family members and friends from throughout the community were also present at the party to pay tribute to her. Sheriff Arden Stewart who has worked with Burke for the past three terms presented her with a plaque and an original poem. The nine stanza stan-za poem expressed many of the positive feelings that not only Sheriff Stewart has for Burke, but the rest of the department and those who have worked with her as w ell. The poem also depicted the compassion com-passion and dedication In which she has performed her duties since first stepping into the position In February im The final stanza of the r 'financial planning r ft mim liy VVinward, Foley & Company Certified Public Accountants f- :!

The nursing mother needs: a quart of milk, six ounces of meat or other high protein foods, four or more servings of fruits and vegetables, five to six servings of whole and enriched grain products and plenty of fluids each day. In addition, she needs adequate rest, a time to relax and support from her significant others that she is doing a good job. During the past few months, the nursing nur-sing and physician staff at Ashley Valley Medical Center has been working work-ing closely with the Uintah Basin Department of Health to develop a teaching program which will provide needed information and support to mothers wishing to breastfeed. Information Infor-mation and techniques are up to date and will be available to mothers in a consistent education package during pre-natal instruction, hospital stay and the first few weeks at home.
