Fathers of breastfed infants: postponing and types of involvement.
OBJECTIVE: To examine husbands' experiences of having their wives breastfeed. DESIGN: Qualitative method of grounded theory. SETTING: In-depth interviews by phone at home. PARTICIPANTS: Fourteen middle-class, urban, Canadian fathers of successfully breastfed infants. RESULTS: The fathers reported a disparity in the types of relationships that their children had with each of their parents as a result of breastfeeding. The process that enabled the fathers to accept this perceived difference was labeled postponing. Four fathering styles, which explain the variation in postponing, were found. The phases of postponing include becoming aware of the disparity, simultaneously developing accepting strategies and acknowledging reinforcing factors, and, finally, developing compensating behaviors to increase the fathers' interactions with their infants and promote closer relationships. When weaning occurred, the fathers' relationships with their children changed as the fathers found ways to catch up. CONCLUSIONS: A need exists for realistic education about the realities of breastfeeding for fathers. More outlets for fathers' negative emotions toward breastfeeding need to be found.

The effect of maternal fluid intake on breast milk supply: a pilot study.
To examine the effect of increased and decreased fluids on breast milk supply, a pilot study using a cross-over design with 10 mother-infant pairs was completed. Baseline measures of milk supply were determined over a 3-day period of normal fluid intake based on body weight. Subjects were studied over 3-day periods when fluid intake was alternately 50% more and 50% less than normal level. Milk supply was calculated by averaging breast milk intake, determined by test weighing the infants with electronic scales, and milk yield, measured either by total breast expression with an electric breast pump or a combination of expression and test weighing. Although milk supply decreased with decreased fluids and increased with increased fluids, this change was not statistically significant. Recommendations for further research include replication using subjects' usual fluid intake as a baseline and replication using mothers suspected of insufficient milk syndrome.
