			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Partout ! Notre droit d&#8217;allaiter en public en tout temps, où que cela soit, est protégé par la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés.</p>
<p><span>Pour l&#8217;instant, seules la Colombie-Britannique ( <a href="http://www.infactcanada.ca/B.C._HR_Policy_Procedure_Manual.htm"><span>British Columbia Human Rights Commission Policy and Procedure Manual</span></a>) l&#8217;Ontario (<a href="http://www.ohrc.on.ca/english/guides/pregnancy-breastfeeding.shtml"><span>http://www.ohrc.on.ca/english/guides/pregnancy-breastfeeding.shtml</span></a>) détaillent spécifiquement  les droits des mères qui allaitent dans leurs lois provinciales, mais la Commission pour les droits de la personne et de la jeunesse du Québec est très claire: la discrimination est interdite lors de toutes sortes de situations, incluant l&#8217;accès à un moyen de transport ou à un lieu public (commerce, hôtel, restaurant, théâtre, cinéma, parc, terrain de camping et de caravaning…) et aux services qui y sont offerts [art. 15]. </span></p>
<p><span><a rel="attachment wp-att-263" href="http://momzelle.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/allaiter-en-public-oui-mais-ou/shopstation/"><img class="size-full wp-image-263 alignleft" title="ShopStation" src="http://momzelle.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/shopstation.jpg?w=150&#038;h=100" alt="ShopStation" width="150" height="100" /></a><a rel="attachment wp-att-264" href="http://momzelle.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/allaiter-en-public-oui-mais-ou/images/"><img class="size-full wp-image-264 alignleft" title="images" src="http://momzelle.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/images.jpeg?w=150&#038;h=100" alt="images" width="150" height="100" /></a><a rel="attachment wp-att-265" href="http://momzelle.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/allaiter-en-public-oui-mais-ou/title-restaurant/"><img class="size-full wp-image-265 alignleft" title="title-restaurant" src="http://momzelle.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/title-restaurant.jpg?w=150&#038;h=100" alt="title-restaurant" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Le fait que nos droits soient protégés et qu&#8217;il existe de la jurisprudence à ce sujet (voir le cas de Marie-Claude Giguère contre la Ville de Montréal <a href="http://www.canlii.org/fr/qc/qctdp/doc/2003/2003canlii33420/2003canlii33420.html"><span>http://www.canlii.org/fr/qc/qctdp/doc/2003/2003canlii33420/2003canlii33420.html</span></a> et celui de Linda Desrochers contre un magasin de meubles <a href="http://www.canlii.org/fr/qc/qctdp/doc/2005/2005canlii35842/2005canlii35842.html"><span>http://www.canlii.org/fr/qc/qctdp/doc/2005/2005canlii35842/2005canlii35842.html</span></a>) ne signifie toutefois pas que l&#8217;allaitement en public soit bien accepté en 2009. Des regards croches et des mères qui se font demander de quitter des piscines publiques, d&#8217;allaiter dans les toilettes d&#8217;un restaurant ou dans une salle d&#8217;essayage d&#8217;un magasin, il y en a encore. Que faire si cela vous arrive ? La loi est très claire, vous avez le droit d’allaiter en public car la discrimination fondée sur le sexe (seule les femmes peuvent allaiter) est illégale. Signalez l’incident à la Commission des droits de la personne et n’hésitez pas à contacter un organisme de soutien à l’allaitement tel que La Ligue la Leche ou Nourri-Source pour vous soutenir dans vos démarches.</p>
<h3><span>Comment allaiter discrètement ?</span></h3>
<p><span>Rien ni personne ne vous oblige à être discrète lorsque vous allaitez. Toutefois, nous ne sommes pas toutes des militantes de l&#8217;allaitement en public et avons parfois (souvent!) envie d&#8217;avoir notre intimité, surtout quand on a accouché il n&#8217;y a pas trop longtemps et que notre ventre n&#8217;a pas encore retrouvé sa taille d&#8217;avant grossesse. Il est normal de nourrir son enfant quand il a faim, et pas question de passer son congé de maternité à la maison alors qu&#8217;il commence à faire beau dehors et qu&#8217;on est aussi une femme en plus d&#8217;être une mère ! Voici donc quelques petits trucs pour allaiter partout en toute confiance.</span></p>
<p><span>1. Allaiter aux premiers signes de faim (votre bébé se mange les mains, ouvre la bouche comme pour prendre le sein, fait des bruits de succion). Le bébé calme prendra le sein plus facilement et plus rapidement qu&#8217;un bébé qui hurle. Il attirera aussi moins les regards et vous ne vous sentirez pas stressée par les cris de votre bébé.</span></p>
<p><span>2. Certains lieux (parcs, restos, cafés, comme Première Moisson sur Mont-Royal) affichent une petite pancarte &#8220;bienvenue aux mères qui allaitent&#8221;, ainsi que le logo international de l&#8217;allaitement. Les premières fois qu&#8217;on sort avec son nouveau-né, il peut être bon de planifier son itinéraire en fonction de ces lieux où il fait bon d&#8217;être, où on se sent soutenue et encouragée sans conteste.</span></p>
<p><span>3. Porter des vêtements adaptés aide énormément à se sentir confortable pour allaiter en public. Tout le monde n&#8217;est pas à l&#8217;aise de remonter son gilet et de montrer son ventre, ou de tirer sur l&#8217;encolure pour découvrir sa poitrine. Il existe des vêtements d&#8217;allaitement conçus spécifiquement pour que l&#8217;accès au sein soit facile, rapide et hyper discret (voir www.momzelle.com). Aucun bout de peau ne paraît et beaucoup de gens pourront croire que votre bébé est endormi, alors qu&#8217;il est en train de boire.</span></p>
<p><span>Infact Canada a préparé une série de petites affiches très drôles pour dire que l’allaitement en public n’est pas un crime (<a href="http://www.infactcanada.ca/mall/Posters_Third.ASP"><span>http://www.infactcanada.ca/mall/Posters_Third.ASP</span></a>).</span></p>
<p><span>Comment faire pour encourager l’allaitement en public ?</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span>Il n’y a rien de tel pour donner confiance en soi que de voir une autre mère allaiter son enfant. Donnez l’exemple et allaitez en public !</span></li>
<li><span> Éduquer son entourage sur les avantages de l’allaitement. Leur soutien suivra naturellement.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span>Bonnes sorties !</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alison Stuebe, M.D., a mother of three and an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the UNC School of Medicine, wrote yesterday in the North Carolina&#8217;s <em><a href="http://www.newsobserver.com/opinion/columns/story/1519660.html">News and Observer</a></em> that we should take care of mothers not only on Mothers&#8217; Day, but every single day of the year. A large majority of American mothers (75%) start out by breastfeeding their babies, but one in five, according to Stuebe, is forced to stop early because of a lack of support and too much stress.</p>
<p>In order to help moms and babies enjoy a longer and more relaxing breastfeeding relationship that is mutually beneficial, she suggests that we reach out and help each other, by taking an older sibling to the park, preparing a meal for the new mom on our street, and by calling our legislator and tell him that it&#8217;s time to outlaw discrimination and guarantee paid family leave in the United States. In honor of all mothers.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.momzelle.com">Momzelle</a>, it is our mission to help mothers feel good about breastfeeding, and being relaxed definitely helps. Wearing appropriate clothing is not like changing the legislation, but I truly believe it can make a difference in the daily life of a mother. Let us know how your <a href="http://www.momzelle.com">Momzelle nursing top</a> has helped you have a more relaxing breastfeeding relationship !</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is SO exciting. This morning I pitched <a href="http://www.momzelle.com">Momzelle</a> to a national canadian TV program, the <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/">Dragons&#8217; Den</a>. We do not know if the segment will be aired or not this Fall, but we hope it will ! My friend Erin was there with me, breastfeeding her 5 week old baby with the <a href="http://www.momzelle.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/31/language/en">Momzelle turtleneck</a> in front of what could possibly be one million viewers. I think this can do a lot of good for breastfeeding in Canada, as it really helps to normalize breastfeeding in public. How more public can it be than in front of one million viewers ?</p>
<p>This reality TV show is about new business owners trying to get investment from rich and successful entrepreneurs. To know the outcome of my pitch, you will have to watch the show !</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the proof Vincent and I were there (Vincent did not speak to the &#8220;Dragons&#8221;, he was there to cheer me up):</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a good story in today&#8217;s <a href="http://thechronicleherald.ca/novascotia/1120140">Chronicle Herald</a> (Nova Scotia) about a business owner who really goes out of her way to protect and promote mothers&#8217; right to breastfeed in public. She has been using the Lunenburg &amp; Queens Baby Friendly Initiative Committee&#8217;s package made for employers in order to help them demonstrate how to make nursing moms feel more comfortable, both as employees and as customers. She&#8217;s now talking about how it is easy for business to become breastfeeding-friendly. Quite neat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>La désignation &#8220;Hôpital ami des bébés&#8221;  a été développée par l’UNICEF et l’Organisation mondiale de la santé afin d&#8217;encourager et de soutenir l’allaitement dans les hôpitaux et les maternités. Au Canada, c&#8217;est le <a href="//breastfeedingcanada.ca/html/sommaire.html">Comité canadien pour l&#8217;allaitement </a>qui est l&#8217;autorité nationale pour l&#8217;initiative. Depuis 1991, pour obtenir la certification « ami des bébés » chaque hôpital doit, en plus de ne pas accepter de substituts gratuits ou à bas prix du lait maternel, de biberons ou de tétines, répondre à ces dix conditions (prises sur le site du CHUM, qui par ailleurs n&#8217;a pas encore obtenu la certification):</p>
<p><strong>Les 10 conditions pour le succès de l&#8217;allaitement maternel</strong><br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>1.</strong>  Adopter une politique d&#8217;allaitement maternel écrite et systématiquement portée à la connaissance de tout le personnel soignant et des bénévoles.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>2.</strong>  Donner à tout le personnel soignant les compétences nécessaires pour mettre en œuvre cette politique.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>3.</strong>  Informer toutes les femmes enceintes et leur famille des avantages de l&#8217;allaitement.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>4.</strong>  Aider les mères à commencer l’allaitement dans la demi-heure suivant la naissance.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>5.</strong>  Indiquer aux mères comment pratiquer l&#8217;allaitement au sein et comment entretenir la lactation même si elles se trouvent séparées de leur nourrisson.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>6.</strong>  Ne donner aux nouveau-nés aucun aliment ni aucune boisson autre que le lait maternel, sauf indication médicale.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>7.</strong>  Pratiquer la cohabitation – laisser l’enfant avec sa mère 24 heures par jour.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>8.</strong>  Encourager l&#8217;allaitement au sein à la demande de l&#8217;enfant.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>9.</strong>  Ne donner aux enfants nourris au sein aucune tétine artificielle ou sucette.<br style="font-family:verdana, helvetica;font-size:x-small;" /><strong>10.</strong>  Encourager la constitution d&#8217;associations de soutien à l&#8217;allaitement maternel et encourager les mères à les fréquenter dès leur sortie de l&#8217;hôpital ou de la clinique.</p>
<p>Juste lire ces dix critères pour obtenir la certification &#8220;ami des bébés&#8221; me rend émotive ce matin, probablement parce que j&#8217;ai énormément de <em>flashbacks</em> des premiers jours qui ont suivi la naissance de ma fille ces temps-ci <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="Mère avec son enfant. En plein air à Los Angeles." rel="attachment wp-att-235" href="http://momzelle.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/quest-ce-quun-hopital-ami-des-bebes/p2210213/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-235" title="p2210213" src="http://momzelle.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/p2210213.jpg?w=225&#038;h=300" alt="p2210213" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>L&#8217;implantation de la certification &#8220;Ami des bébés&#8221; a eu de nombreux impacts positifs ces vingt dernières années. Quand un hôpital est certifié &#8220;Ami des bébés&#8221;, les taux de réussite de l&#8217;allaitement augmentent de manière significative, non seulement pour les premiers jours après la naissance, mais aussi 4, 6 et 12 mois après. De la même manière, la santé des mères et des bébés s&#8217;améliore et on remarque une diminution de cas de déshydratation, de diarrhées et des taux de mortalité là où le programme est mis en place.</p>
<p>Le site de l&#8217;UNICEF donne cet <strong>exemple de réussite</strong> (parmi de nombreux autres):</p>
<blockquote><p>L&#8217;Université catholique du Chili à Santiago a mis en ouvre l&#8217;un des premiers hôpitaux amis des bébés. Résultat : le nombre de femmes allaitant pendant les deux premières heures a augmenté. Avec une bonne mise en ouvre de la dixième condition du programme et des consultations mensuelles, l&#8217;allaitement exclusif à six mois a augmenté, passant d&#8217;environ 20 % à plus de 60 %.</p></blockquote>

<p>Cette liste d&#8217;hôpitaux est bonne à avoir en tête si vous êtes au stade du choix de votre hôpital pour l&#8217;accouchement. Si cela est déjà passé, gardez-la en tête pour l&#8217;enfant suivant. Il y a de fortes chances pour que la liste s&#8217;allonge et que l&#8217;hôpital près de chez vous entame des démarches pour obtenir la certification, étant donné l&#8217;importance de l&#8217;allaitement pour la santé publique. Il est nettement à l&#8217;avantage du système de santé de promouvoir l&#8217;allaitement !</p>
<p>Pour la liste complète des établissements de santé &#8220;amis des bébés&#8221; au Canada, vous pouvez consulter la liste suivante, mise à jour en avril 2009: <a href="http://breastfeedingcanada.ca/pdf/BCC%20List%20of%20Designated%20Facilities%20April%202009.pdf">http://breastfeedingcanada.ca/pdf/BCC%20List%20of%20Designated%20Facilities%20April%202009.pdf</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Breast is best&#8221; is what most doctors will tell you. But do they go beyond that statement and really support breastfeeding mothers and nurslings ? With these 4 simple questions, you can figure out the answer for yourself and see if your doctor is really supportive of breastfeeding.</p>
<p><strong>1. Does he give you free formula samples or coupons, or does he recommend that you to register to a baby club sponsored by a formula brand?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>That is one of the big signs that even though your doctor says that &#8220;breast is best&#8221;, he may not be that breastfeeding friendly. It is not only statistically proven that breastfeeding rates drop when mothers are given formula, it is also proven that most mothers will keep on feeding their child the formula brand that their doctor recommended (or for which he gave them a coupon). That is definitely not being supportive of breast feeding, as it undermines your confidence in your ability to breastfeed.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>2.  Is there a tape measurer, a baby scale cover, a poster or anything else with a formula logo on it in the office ?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>If that is the case, it means that your doctor has accepted &#8220;presents&#8221; from formula companies, and those kinds of presents are never free. Your doctor may not be aware of it himself and use those only as tools in his everyday work, but he is indirectly recommending you to use that brand. And why would you need formula if you are exclusively breastfeeding for the first six months of your baby&#8217;s life ?</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>3. Are the other moms present in the waiting room breastfeeding ?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>If there are, this is positive. If there aren&#8217;t, you may start to wonder. Almost all women have the ability to breastfeed with the right kind of support and knowledge. If you think that you may have a special situation that makes it more challenging for you, ask your doctor for advice and if it does not ring true to you, ask someone else, like a La Leche League leader or a lactation consultant. </em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>4. Has he ever told you that breastfeeding after 6 months is not necessary or has less value ?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Breastmilk is milk made especially for humans. How can it become all of a sudden less valuable or lose its nutritional properties after 6 months ? This is a weird statement, so beware if you hear it in a doctor&#8217;s office. Luckily at this point you know for yourself that breastfeeding means much more than feeding your child and that the benefits for your baby AND for you are countless. It is definitely THE most appropriate milk for your baby.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>If you&#8217;ve read all the way to here, you may be interested in having a look at the World Health Organization <a href="http://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/code_english.pdf">International Code for the marketing of breastmilk substitutes</a>. If I were to condense it in one sentence, I&#8217;d say that most marketing of breastmilk substitutes (formula) undermines a mother&#8217;s confidence in her ability to breastfeed and should thus be prohibited. Unfortunately, North American doctors who really do follow the code are not so easy to find. If you want to be sure that your doctor does respect the code and will fully support breastfeeding, you can go to a &#8220;<a href="http://www.babyfriendlyusa.org/eng/05.html">Baby Friendly</a>&#8221; designated hospital. To get the designation, the hospital staff needs to be trained for breastfeeding support, respect the WHO code, and have a high rate of breastfeeding success. Thumbs up !</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nous recevons des appels depuis plusieurs semaines de mères qui ont entendu parler de nous dans le magazine québécois <em>Espace Parents</em>. Ça y est, je viens de voir de quoi il s&#8217;agit ! Je suis extrêmement reconnaissante à la journaliste Emmanuelle Plante qui a choisi de parler de nous dans le numéro d&#8217;avril-mai 2009. Sa chronique est hyper élogieuse et ça fait un bien fou !</p>
<p>En voici le titre et le contenu:</p>
<blockquote>
<h2>Discrétion, confort et conscience sociale</h2>
<p>Quelques jours après la naissance de sa fille, Christine Poirier a eu une idée formidable. Elle s&#8217;est créé un chandail d&#8217;allaitement afin d&#8217;être bien à l&#8217;aise pour nourrir sa petite puce dans les lieux publics. Aujourd&#8217;hui, sa compagnie, Momzelle, confectionne t-shirts, chandails, camisoles et cols roulés d&#8217;allaitement hyper classe que même la plus fashionista des mamans voudra porter. Fabriqués localement avec du coton 100% biologique , les hauts Momzelle s&#8217;ajuste parfaitement à la silhouette postpartum. Une ouverture sous les seins permet d&#8217;allaiter en toute discrétion. Pratique, joli et responsable.</p>
<p>Vêtements d&#8217;allaitement Momzelle. Entre 45$ et 55$. Pour connaître les points de vente ou pour acheter sur internet: <a href="http://www.momzelle.com">www.momzelle.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The study, published in the May 2009 issue of <em>Obstetrics and Gynecology</em>, is the first to show that there &#8220;really is a strong effect in terms of preventing heart attacks and stroke for women who nursed for more than six months,&#8221; says lead author Dr. Eleanor Bimla Schwarz, of the University of Pittsburgh. Close to 140 000 post-menopause mothers were involved in the study.</p>
<p>Here is a link towards the original study: <a href="http://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/Fulltext/2009/05000/Duration_of_Lactation_and_Risk_Factors_for.5.aspx">Duration of Lactation and Risk Factors for Maternal Cardiovascular Disease</a>, and here is a link to an <a href="http://www.theprovince.com/Health/Breastfeeding+health+benefit+moms+Study/1516508/story.html">article </a>about the study written by<span class="name"> Sharon Kirkey, of Canwest News Services, published on April 20th</span><span class="timestamp">. </span></p>
<p><span class="timestamp">As new mom who had to go back to work, Dr. Schwarz knew that pumping her milk was good for her baby, but was wondering what effects it had on her own health. Here it is, so keep on nursing ladies, it is not only good for your baby, it is good for you too in ways that you would not have suspected !</span></p>
