Elliot Achieves New Success in Newborn Feeding Practices

As a first-time mother, Lindsay Ross, says Elliot Hospital’s lactation team and its Moms group were her lifelines when she gave birth five years ago to her son, Jack.

“For me, breastfeeding didn’t come naturally,” she says. “I think if I had been left to try to figure it out on my own, and I didn’t have their support, I probably would have moved on to something else to make sure he was fed.”

Giving birth to her son five weeks early, Ross says it was invaluable to have consistent advice from lactation consultants, as well as the weekly [email protected] led by Colleen Moloney, RN, IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).

“As a new mom you don’t really know what you’re doing,” says Ross, who a year later had her daughter Hazel, now four. “I think in your mind you think nursing is going to come to you naturally. But for me it was really awkward and they just had a way to make it feel natural and comfortable.”

The lactation team’s stepped up efforts to educate and support newborn feeding practices hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Elliot Hospital recently received a perfect 100 score on the 2020 Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC) national survey, which assesses immediate post-partum care, rooming-in, feeding practices, feeding education, discharge support and institutional management. The average score is 81 in the U.S., 85 in the Northeast region and 83 for similar-sized hospitals.

Anne Frechette, MSN, RNC-MNN, Nurse Manager Maternity & Lactation Services, says the hospital’s jump in score over two years from 81 to 100 was a concerted effort to “hardwire into Elliot’s culture and care a focus on the World Health Organization’s 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding.”

A multidisciplinary committee – of lactation consultants, nurses, pediatricians, nutritionists, obstetricians, and primary care providers – “spent countless hours to assure our policies were up-to-date with the most evidence-based practices,” says Nancy Ramirez, RN, IBCLC.

As part of their orientation, all nurses spend five hours with a certified lactation consultant and complete a 15-hour course specifically for hospital staff developed by the New Hampshire Breastfeeding Taskforce.

It has meant a shift in the hospital’s culture. Newborn babies used to stay in the nursery throughout the night. Now babies room-in.

“We help mothers during what can be challenging times by helping them initiate skin-to-skin contact right after birth, even after a C-section while they’re finishing up surgery,” Frechette says. “We encourage breastfeeding on demand, to help build milk supply.”

For mothers whose babies are in NICU and can’t be breastfed, the staff assists them in pumping and storing milk.

“We educate and support the mothers so they can make an informed choice to avoid supplements, if not necessary,” Ramirez says. Lactation consultants also are available after a patient is discharged. In fact, new mothers in the community who don’t deliver at Elliot Hospital also may call in or make appointments.

“It’s impossible to tell a mom when they leave the hospital, ‘This is exactly how it’s going to work for you forever,’” says Amanda Morneau, BSN, RNC-EFM, CCE, Childbirth Education Coordinator for Elliot Hospital. “It’s very reassuring for the moms that if something pops up they have the resources to access very easily to help them navigate through their lactation journey.”

The comprehensive program begins with prenatal education.

Lactation consultants and nurses throughout the Elliot Health System – including labor and delivery nurses, maternity nurses, NICU nurses, and nurses from pediatrician’s offices – offer free virtual childbirth education classes to more than 350 expecting mothers annually.

“Moms are entitled to make their own decision about whether to breastfeed,” Morneau says. “We just want to make sure they can feel more confident in the choice they are making by having all of the information. It’s definitely not a one size fits all.”

And for new mothers like Ross, the weekly Moms group for the first year was just what she needed. “Wednesdays were always my favorite day of the week because I knew I was going to be surrounded by other moms,” she says. “Colleen has created such an amazing community for positivity and caring that just allows you to come to her on your good days and your ugly days of being a mom in the trenches.”

To sign up for classes expecting mothers can call 603-660-4567 or contact online at [email protected] .

Missy Elliott Announces “Out Of This World” Tour, Joined by Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland

M issy Elliott, known for her groundbreaking contributions to the music industry, has announced her first headlining tour. The “Out of This World – The Missy Elliott Experience” tour will traverse North America this summer. The tour promises an unforgettable experience for fans, with fellow music luminaries Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland joining her.

“This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone ‘firsts.’ Being the FIRST female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going out on my FIRST headline tour,” Elliott said in a news release. “Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family! So get ready to be taken OUT OF THIS WORLD with me, Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland! We can’t wait to share this experience with the fans!”

This tour marks another milestone in Elliott’s career. Elliott is a timeless artist and her legacy consists of achievements and influence in the music industry. As the first female rapper inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame , she has enduring impact and undeniable talent.

Elliott’s influence extends far beyond accolades and awards. Throughout her career, she continually pushed boundaries and redefined the music landscape. From her early days with Timbaland to her solo success, the music icon consistently shattered stereotypes. She also paved the way for future generations of artists.

“People wouldn’t do the videos they are doing today if it wasn’t for [her],” Timbaland said, highlighting Missy’s pioneering vision and fearless creativity.

Elliott’s influence is evident across generations and genres. She has left an indelible mark on the culture, inspiring countless artists to embrace their uniqueness and push boundaries.

Missy Elliott announces first headlining tour featuring Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland

Missy Elliott just dropped an "out of this world" announcement.

The rapper, 52, on Monday revealed she will embark on her first headline tour, Out of This World — The Missy Elliott Experience, which heads across North America this summer and will feature Busta Rhymes , Ciara and Timbaland .

"Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family!" Elliott said.

News of the tour was also shared in a sci-fi themed video , which was posted hours before Monday's total solar eclipse . In the clip, Elliott, Busta Rhymes and Ciara are seen outside of a spaceship realizing they have made a wrong turn and ended up on another planet. A press release announcing the tour also declared that Monday's "solar phenomenon was eclipsed" by Elliott's own "supernova announcement."

For Elliott, the tour comes after she made history last year as the first female rapper to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame . She told "Good Morning America" in November that "words cannot describe" how much of an honor this was. "When you're in the hip-hop world, it seems so far out of reach," she said.

Between that induction and this tour, the "Work It" singer said Monday, "This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone 'firsts.'"

Her 24-city tour will commence on July 4 at Vancouver's Rogers Arena and conclude at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, on Aug. 22.

The rapper's manager, Mona Scott-Young, said in a statement, "Missy has always been an iconic groundbreaker and continuously pushes herself to be bolder and go where she has never been before – and surprisingly, one of those places is headlining her own tour!"

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

Kievskaya Metro Station

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂

What our patients are saying...

“My husband and I had an excellent visit and all three of the providers we met with were knowledgeable and informative. I immediately felt comfortable and knew we were in good hands.”

“This was an exceptional experience. Both providers I saw were personable, friendly, caring. The doctor thoroughly explained everything, so I left with no questions and no worries going forward. I truly felt like they went above and beyond to make my day seeing this first baby special. The doctor spent a little extra time trying to get me that ‘perfect’ picture and I'll never forget that little extra effort.”

“Lovely experience overall. Everyone I spoke to was warm and kind.”

Providers and physicians throughout Elliot Maternal Fetal Medicine are dedicated to your health and look forward to caring for you and your loved ones.
