Invitation goes out to nursing mothers
for raising a healthy child because natural breast milk contains immune-system and other support nutrients that an infant needs during its first few months of growth. Some of these nutrients may be lacking in regular dairy milk or infant formula milk substitutes. The World Health Organization, Health Canada, and the Canadian Paediatric Society along with regional health units all recom- mend that, if possible, mothers nurse their newborn infants from birth to the age of six months. Continued breastfeeding may also be considered for several months later but the first six months are key to the future health and physical development of the
LOW PRICES child. The Quintessence Breastfeeding Chal- lenge encourages nursing mothers to reg- ister for any one of the breastfeeding chal- lenge gatherings organized in their area for Sept. 29, to meet and mingle with other nursing mothers for friendly chats and also to get advice from each other and from local health officials. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) also invites nursing mothers to use social media networks like Facebook or Twitter on Sept. 29 to share their experiences and to post on the OPH Breastfeeding Challenge wall at www.facebook.com/ottawahealth. In Eastern Ontario there are Quintessence

Eastern Ontario | More than 10 years ago a movement began to celebrate the role of nursing mothers in raising healthy chil- dren. The Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge marks its 12th anniversary this month and all mothers and their nursing infants are invited to take part. World Breastfeeding Week takes place at the end of September and in Ottawa and other communities in Eastern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada and around the globe, nursing mothers are gathering on Sept. 29 take part in the annual Quintessence Breast- feeding Challenge. Breastfeeding is recognized in the medical and health professions as the best method Watch out for ticks Eastern Ontario | The recent wet weather may be putting a bit of a damper on week- end holiday plans but people are still going hiking and biking in the woods and that means they may return home carrying an unknown and unwanted passenger. The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) warns about an increase in the numbers and range of the black-legged tick, also called the deer tick, a known carrier of the Lyme disease bacterium. Most of the re- ports are focused on the St. Lawrence River area but other parts of the region may also see an increased risk. Lyme disease is passed on through the bit of ticks infected with the bacteria. It causes a rash that looks like a red bull’s eye fol- lowed by flu-like symptoms. Left untreated it can affect the heart, nervous system, and joints. Early treatment can prevent future problems. Anyone who spends a lot of time out- doors in wooded or high brush areas for work or recreation are at greater risk of ex- posure to ticks and Lyme disease infection. Prevention involves wearing long-sleeved shirts and/or windbreakers or coats, long pants, socks, and footwear that closes or laces up. Avoid sandals, open-toed shoes, and similar footwear. Keep shirts tucked into pants. Tuck pant legs into socks or boots if possible or use tape or elastic bands to bind shut pant leg and shirt sleeve openings. Wear a cap or hat. Light-coloured clothing makes it easier to see ticks that have dropped onto a per- son and to remove them before they attach themselves and feed. After leaving an area of tall grass or shrubs, or known to be tick-infested, do a body scan for any ticks. A shower can also help remove ticks that have not yet attached themselves. Remove ticks with tweezers and, if pos- sible, without crushing, bag them for later drop-off at the nearest EOHU office. Cap- tured ticks are identified and, if needed, tested for the presence of Lyme disease. If symptoms of Lyme disease appear, call a family doctor or emergency health service. Dogs and cats that spend time outdoors should also be checked for ticks. Check with local veterinarians on ways to protect pets from ticks and the risk of Lyme disease.
