  • Infant Formula (Breastmilk Substitute) Feeding
    Infant Formula (Breastmilk Substitute) Feeding Congratulations on your new baby! If you have made an informed decision not to breastfeed, this handout will provide you with information on the safe preparation of formula (breastmilk substitute) for your healthy full-term infant. If your baby is born early, you will need to follow the specific feeding advice provided by your health care provider. You will probably have many questions about formula feeding. Here are some questions which parents and caregivers often ask: What type of formula should I give my baby? Give your baby a commercial iron-fortified infant formula. How long do I need to give my baby infant formula? Give your baby commercial iron-fortified infant formula until he or she is 9 to 12 months old and is eating a variety of solid foods. Then you can gradually introduce whole cow's milk. For formula-fed babies, the change from iron-fortified infant formula to whole cow’s milk should be completed by around one year of age. At this time, a formula-fed baby should be consuming a healthy diet, including two cups of milk a day, to meet her vitamin D needs. What should I look for when I buy commercial infant formula? • Always buy commercial infant formula with iron. It may be labelled “iron fortified” or “with iron”. Iron helps to keep your baby’s blood healthy. Iron-fortified infant formula does not cause constipation. • Check the expiry date or best before date. These dates may be printed on the bottom or on the side of the package.

  • 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.

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.

    Pumping and Milk Storage If you are unable to breastfeed your baby directly, it is important to remove milk during the times your baby normally would feed. This will help you continue to make milk. Before you express breast milk, be sure to wash your hands. Also, make sure the area where you are expressing is clean. If you need help to get your milk to start fow- ing, have one of the following items nearby – a picture of your baby, a baby blanket, or an item of your baby’s clothing that has his or her scent on it. You can also apply a warm moist compress to the breast, gently massage the breasts, or sit quietly and think of a relaxing setting.

    Announcement 4/21/16 Gerber announces three changes – discontinuing Gerber Graduates Soy, introduction of Stage 3 Gerber Good Start Soy, and transitioning to non-GMO ingredients Contact: Karen Henry Discontinuation of Gerber Graduates Soy Gerber has announced they are discontinuing their soy toddler formula Gerber Graduates Soy. It will stop being manufactured next month (April) but will likely remain available several months afterward. This had been on our rebate contract but fortunately we currently only have 10 participants on the product in the state. Only four agencies have clients on this formula. Within the next couple days, the directors of agencies that have clients on this product will be notified with client info so that the clients can be informed that they will likely stop seeing the product in upcoming months. These participants can ask their physician if the Enfamil Toddler Transitions Soy is a suitable substitute. With a soy toddler contract formula no longer available (the Gerber Graduates Soy), the Enfamil Toddler Transitions soy will be an option without State Approval. If you have clients with new prescriptions for Gerber Graduates Soy, please inquire with the client’s physician if the Enfamil Toddler Transitions Soy is a possible substitute. The physician form on the web is additionally in the process of being updated on azwic.gov. New Stage 3 Gerber Good Start Soy Additionally later this year, Gerber is coming out with a replacement for the Gerber Graduates Soy. It will have limited retail distribution during the 2016 launch period. Not many details are available on this product yet, but will give more info once it becomes available.
