Click on the photo to open the PDF Article News added Feb 9th, 2006. Kentucky Senate Bill 160 was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee Today. If it becomes law, it would clearly state that mothers may breastfeed their babies in public, and it would prohibit municipalities from passing ordinances banning public breastfeeding. Thirty-two other states have similar laws, said Sen. Tom Buford, R-Nicholasville, the bill's sponsor. Buford's proposal drew no opposition at the committee hearing. Bill 160 states that breastfeeding a child "shall not be considered an act of public indecency and shall not be considered indecent exposure." Kentucky has an indecent exposure law that deals only with exposing genitals in public. News added Feb 8th, 2006. A bill that would uphold a woman's right to breastfeed her baby in public is again making its way through the West Virginia Legislature. Identical to one that cleared the House of Delegates last year, the bill died on the last day of the session because the Senate ran out of time before a vote could be taken. The bill would allow a woman to breastfeed infants in any location where a mother and child are authorized to be -- such as a restaurant or shopping mall. The legislation was requested by a group of women who encountered problems in the Charleston area while attempting to breastfeed their infants. The women say they were ordered to move to a restroom. Antidepressant use during pregnancy increases risk to infants says new study About one in 100 babies born to mothers taking certain types of antidepressants may develop an uncommon respiratory condition, say researchers of a latest study on pregnancy and SSRI's The antidepressants studied were selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft. The findings indocated that Infants born to mothers who took SSRIs in the second half of pregnancy had six times the expected risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension, an uncommon lung condition that can lead to serious neurological abnormalities. Out of every 1,000 babies born, two could develop this condition, which can clear up on its own. Women who are taking the antidepressants are advised to check with their doctor before stopping the medication as sudden withdrawal can be more dangerous than the relatively low risk of the lung condition. Untreated depression during pregnancy can also be a problem. It's estimated that 10 per cent of pregnant women suffer from clinical depression. Last year, both Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned of reports of possible side-effects of SSRIs on a fetus. The regulatory warnings did not include recommendations on alternative therapies. The study leader, Christina Chambers of the University of California, San Diego and her colleagues estimated about 99 per cent of women who took the antidepressants late in pregnancy would deliver an infant unaffected by persistent pulmonary hypertension. They interviewed 337 women whose infants had the condition, compared to 836 other mothers. They asked both groups of women about their use of medication during pregnancy, six months after they gave birth. No increased risk of lung problems from SSRI was found before the 20th week of pregnancy or from taking other antidepressants while expecting. "There is a pressing need for experts to compare SSRIs with other forms of treatment to determine which are the safest, the most effective and best tolerated by pregnant women," said Dr. James Mills in a journal commentary. Five of the study's seven authors reported receiving funding from drug companies. Source: Canadian Broadcasting Corperation News News added Feb 1st, 2006.
