| Published both in print and online by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. (www.liebertpub.com), Breastfeeding Medicine will be the official publication of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM). The Journal will enable physicians to better understand all the complexities of breastfeeding as well as the immediate and long-term benefits. This academic peer-reviewed journal will help physicians educate medical staff and patients to ensure optimal care of mother and child. "A new era of interest in breastfeeding, coupled with widespread evidence-based research in lactation medicine was the impetus for Breastfeeding Medicine," said Mary Ann Liebert, President and CEO of Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. "With ever increasing demands for the best science to justify the best outcomes in a cost effective way, research in this field continues to document that breastfeeding has a major impact on healthcare outcomes and costs since the baby has fewer medical problems (such as ear infections, allergies and obesity), as does the mother (such as lower incidence of breast and ovarian cancer)," she added. Breastfeeding Medicine will publish original scientific papers, reviews, and clinical case studies covering the wide spectrum of topics touched by breastfeeding and lactation. These include: the epidemiology and physiological basis for the benefits of breastfeeding to both mother and infant; the pathophysiologic basis for the health consequences of artificial feeding; the impact of breastfeeding and lactation on the physical and psychological health of both mother and infant; breastfeeding management in health and disease; the pathophysiology and management of common and uncommon breastfeeding problems; indications and contraindications to breastfeeding; factors effecting the use of medications by the breastfeeding mother; as well as the broad range of related social, cultural, and economic issues. |
