  • Clinical Update and Treatment of Lactation Insufficiency
    Review Article Maternal Health CLINICAL UPDATE AND TREATMENT OF LACTATION INSUFFICIENCY ARSHIYA SULTANA* KHALEEQ UR RAHMAN** MANJULA S MS*** SUMMARY: Lactation is beneficial to mother’s health as well as provides specific nourishments, growth, and development to the baby. Hence, it is a nature’s precious gift for the infant; however, lactation insufficiency is one of the explanations mentioned most often by women throughout the world for the early discontinuation of breast- feeding and/or for the introduction of supplementary bottles. Globally, lactation insufficiency is a public health concern, as the use of breast milk substitutes increases the risk of morbidity and mortality among infants in developing countries, and these supplements are the most common cause of malnutrition. The incidence has been estimated to range from 23% to 63% during the first 4 months after delivery. The present article provides a literary search in English language of incidence, etiopathogensis, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and current update on treatment of lactation insufficiency from different sources such as reference books, Medline, Pubmed, other Web sites, etc. Non-breast-fed infant are 14 times more likely to die due to diarrhea, 3 times more likely to die of respiratory infection, and twice as likely to die of other infections than an exclusively breast-fed child. Therefore, lactation insufficiency should be tackled in appropriate manner. Key words : Lactation insufficiency, lactation, galactagogue, breast-feeding INTRODUCTION Breast-feeding is advised becasue human milk is The synonyms of lactation insufficiency are as follows: species-specific nourishment for the baby, produces lactational inadequacy (1), breast milk insufficiency (2), optimum growth and development, and provides substantial lactation failure (3,4), mothers milk insufficiency (MMI) (2), protection from illness.

  • Collection and Storage of Colostrum
    James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Collection and storage of colostrum Information for Patients Expressing and storage of your colostrum Breastmilk is beneficial to a newborn because it contains the correct nutrients and protective factors for the baby’s age. Colostrum is the milk produced in the first few days after birth. It is a concentrated fluid and comes in small amounts so your baby’s immature digestive system and kidneys can absorb the nutrients. Colostrum also has a laxative effect on the newborn which helps to minimise jaundice by assisting in the passing of meconium (your baby’s first stools). Most babies need some time to learn how to attach and feed well from the breast. The purpose of expressing and storing colostrum prior to birth is for those babies who may be at risk of low sugar levels or mothers who may need to stimulate their milk supply. This information has been provided for women who may have the following conditions and situations: • Women with diabetes in pregnancy (pre-existing or gestational) • Babies diagnosed with cleft lip or palate during the antenatal period • Women with breast hypoplasia (a condition where there is insufficient glandular breast tissue, making breastfeeding difficult) • Women with polycystic ovarian disease • Women who have multiple sclerosis • Women who have had breast surgery affecting milk ducts • A strong family history of dairy intolerance or inflammatory bowel disease. It is our intention to help you to plan for your baby’s birth and support you through the process of expressing your colostrum. This information will help you decide whether you wish to obtain your colostrum, but if you have any questions, you can contact: Our Infant Feeding Coordinator: 01493 453076 2 Breast feeding and Diabetes Research shows that babies who are breastfed are less likely to develop childhood diabetes.

  • Antenatal Colostrum Collection Leaflet
    Antenatal colostrum collection Information for pregnant women from the Infant Feeding Team This leaflet aims to provide a useful introduction for pregnant women on how to collect and store colostrum until baby arrives. If after reading this leaflet you still have questions, please speak to your midwife who will be able to answer your questions. What is colostrum? Why is it good for my baby? The first breast milk your body makes is known as colostrum and it is produced from about 16 weeks of pregnancy. It is usually a golden yellow colour and often very sticky. It is very easy for baby to digest and therefore the perfect first food for baby. It is concentrated in nutritional properties, so baby will only need small amounts in the early days. • Colostrum is full of antibodies to help protect your baby from infections. • It has a laxative effect, to help baby pass the early stools. • It can reduce the effects of jaundice in your baby. • Giving baby colostrum is a good way to help to regulate their blood sugar levels. 1 of 5 Antenatal colostrum collection (June 2021) Why are you recommending that I should collect my colostrum before my baby is born? Collecting colostrum before your baby is born can be helpful if we think your baby may have challenges with breastfeeding or keeping their blood sugar levels in their early days. This might be because: • your baby is large or small for their gestational age • you are expecting twins or triplets • your baby has a cleft lip or palate; or • they have a heart or other diagnosed condition.

The aim was to assess and compare the dietary intake of pregnant and lactating women, validate it with biomarkers, and to relate these data to physician-diagnosed allergy in the offspring at 12 months of age. Maternal diet during pregnancy and lactation was assessed by repeated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires in a prospective Swedish birth cohort (n = 508). Fatty acid proportions were measured in maternal breast milk and erythrocytes. Allergy was diagnosed at 12 months of age by a pediatrician specialized in allergy.

For this purpose, raw bovine colostrum is freeze-dried • Kefir and added to yogurt and kefir on 8% and 16% (w/w; colostrum/product) dilutions. • Lactic acid bacteria The results showed that, effect of colostrum on total mesophilic aerobic bacteria counts of yogurt and kefir are negligible.

In kefir, lactic streptococci and lactobacilli counts were higher than that of yogurt. However, they weren’t affected from colostrum addition, statistically. This study showed that, colostrum, which contains antimicrobial substances (immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme and cytokines), don’t have an adverse effect on specific microbial floras of fermented dairy products such as yogurt and kefir.
