The Breast Feeding Quandry Family Articles | November 10 Authentic Wily Peralta Jersey , 2007 One of the evolving ideas is that all women breast feed their children. This is far from what is actually happening today due to women's ever evolving roles in today's society. What should women consider when deciding whether to breast feed? And what are the benefits and drawbacks?
Today's modern woman is not the same as the woman of the fifties, forties and prior. Today's woman, thanks to the feminist movement and a broadening ideal of what a woman's role is in society, has brought women into the workforce in a big way.
Not only that, many women now hold high power positions Authentic Danny Duffy Jersey , and women are a staple at any company, regardless what type of work it is.
This is a stark contrast to women before the feminist movement, before suffrage, and before we were liberated from the restraints of the philosophy that women were the caretakers, the child bearers and the housewives.
Well Authentic Ian Kennedy Jersey , while this phenomenon is obviously a great thing, it also has placed additional pressures on women. Why? Because women have mutliple responsibilities not only on the job now, but also at home.
One of the evolving ideas is that all women breast feed their children. This is far from what is actually happening today, as women not only are not always able to do this becuase of a job or other obligations, but also because women have more choices that closely mimic the idea of breast feeding.
There are better formulas Authentic Jorge Soler Jersey , and better bottles, and the idea of bottle feeding is much more readily accepted as "the norm". However, there are still staunch proponents of breast feeding who insist that breast feeding results in many additional benefits for your infant. Too many to ignore easily, so they say.
The belief and subsequent scientific backing is that breast feeding an infant, even if it is only for a short period of time Authentic Raul Mondesi Jersey , results in a stronger immune system and immune response in the baby. And there is a very solid, logical reason for this strengthened immune response that makes sense.
Because the mother's antibodies are present in her breast milk, the infant instantly gains the advantage of having these preformed antibodies. In essence, breast feeding is thought to give a baby's immune system a "jump start" and get them ahead of the game from the beginning.
They hence (theoretically) have a more keen ability to fend off illness and disease from the start. Seems like a pretty compelling reason to breast feed, at least for a little while if possible Authentic Frank White Jersey , right? However, the answer is never that cut and dry for new moms.
Many new mothers are physically unable to produce milk, and there are some conditions that make it extremely painful for mothers to breast feed, or that make it impossible to breast feed the infant if the infant has allergies, since anything the mother eats will be transferred through her milk to her baby. Of course there are numerous other factors that enter in Authentic Willie Wilson Jersey , but they are too numerous to mention here!
The strengthened immune system and improved immune response is, of course, a huge argument for breast feeding, but there may be another major argument for breast feeding as well. There have been studies that strongly suggest breast feeding a baby can improve its IQ (Intelligence Quotient).
While the exact reason for this unknown, it is thought that it allows for a more ideal development of the brain Authentic Salvador Perez Jersey , since breast milk contains several nutrients that are not typically "whole" in formulas, and it is in fact, considered a "whole food" or "whole nutrient" in itself.
There also may be a psychological link to a superior IQ development, as infants that breast feed are thought to perhaps form a tighter bond with their mothers, and develop a higher sense of security Authentic Lucas Duda Jersey , which could transfer to a higher IQ.

Top Interview Secret: Know the Right Questions To Ask Business Articles | April 11, 2008 Jobseekers preparing for interviews can beat their competition by using this interview secret. Know how to ask the right questions in an interview Authentic Billy Hamilton Jersey , and you could win the job.
Most interview preparation books are filled with sample questions that you'll have to answer during an interview. While it's certainly important to know how to answer tough interview questions, it's equally important to know how to ASK questions in an interview. There are three good reasons to be prepared to ask great questions during interviews.
* To uncover the interviewer's hiring motives.
* To demonstrate your interest and intelligence.
* To uncover any unspoken concerns or "red flags."
Let's look at each of these points:
1. To uncover the interviewer's hiring motives.
A big mistake candidates make going into a job interview is to assume that they know the hiring motives of the interviewer, based solely on the job description. But the reality is that each person within an organization will have a slightly different idea of the perfect person for the job.
Consider how the person doing the interview will interact with the new hire. An operations manager will have different needs than the sales manageralthough they may both work closely with the new hire. The HR manager may envision a different "perfect candidate" than the actual hiring manager.
It's up to you to find out the hiring motives of each person you interview within any one organization. Ask a simple question and you'll know what your interviewer is looking for. Such as:
* What do you see as the most significant challenges for this position?
