BREASTMILK

• GOLD STANDARD

• CUSTOM MADE NUTRITION

• IS MORE THAN NUTRITION

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 9: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Human milk is the gold standard for preterm and term infants

Most complete form of nutrition for infants.

Protects against bacteria

All breast milk not alike, contents changes

A mother's milk has just the right amount of—Fat

—Carbohydrate

—Protein

—Minerals

—Vitamins

—Water

THE UNIQUENESS OF BREASTMILK

Page 10: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Stages of breastmilk

•The content of breastmilk changes over the course of baby's development.

•There are essentially 3 stages of breastmilk:• colostrum

• transitional milk

• mature milk. 2 3

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 11: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Colostrum – The liquid GOLD

• Produced from the 7th month of pregnancy to first few days after baby's birth.

• Thick, sticky and clear to yellowish in colour.

• Produced in very small amounts to suit baby’s small stomach

• Is the perfect food for newborn baby

• Rich in carbohydrates, protein and antibodies

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 12: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

ColostrumFunctions:

- Acts like “paint coating”- Protect baby’s gut from infections.

Colostrum helps "seal" the permeable newborn intestines to prevent harmful substances from penetrating the gut.

- Acts as first immunisation against many bacteria

- Helps establish good bacteria in baby’s gut.

- laxative and helps the baby to pass meconium- to prevent jaundice.

The GOLDEN rule of milk production

Nutrilact

Page 14: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Your baby is getting enough milk if…

Regains birth weight by two weeks of age

After day 4, baby has at least 3 solid diapers per day

Between day 2 & day 3, baby’s poo change from black to green then to yellow

After day 4 or 24 hours after your milk comes in, baby have at least 5 very wet diapers that is pale yellow.

Page 15: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Coping with low milk supply

Take it one step at a time

Set short and realistic goal

It will past & be patient

Forgive yourself for anything you

regret

Realize you are a successful

breastfeeding mother

Nutrilact

Page 16: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Water in breastmilk

•Breastmilk is very rich in water (88%)- no supplemental water even in hot, dry climates.- does not overload a baby’s kidneys and the baby

does not retain unnecessary fluid.

•Giving water or other fluids such as teas, may disruptthe breastmilk production

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 17: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Flavour in breastmilk

•Affected by what mother eats.

•The variation in flavour can help the baby get used to family foods.

Page 18: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Preterm breastmilk

• Milk from mother who give birth before 37 weeks geastation has MORE protein, Ig A, lactoferrinthan mature milk - more suited for the needs of a premature baby.

• A mother’s milk can even be used before the baby is able to breastfeed. She can express her milk, and fed her baby by cup or spoon.

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 19: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Transitional milk

• Produced from 3 to 5 days after birth until the mature milk come in (2 -3 weeks).

• It is intermediate in composition in between colostrum and mature milk.

• The immunoglobulins and protein contents decrease whereas fat and sugar contents increase.

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 20: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Mature Milk

• Contains ALL major nutrients:• Proteins/carbohydrates/fats

• Vitamins and minerals

• water

• Changes in relation to: • the time of day

• the length of breastfeed

• the needs of the baby

• diseases with which the mother has had contact

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 21: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

BASIC NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

• According to a British report, each 100 ml of mature breast milk (comes in three or four days after birth) yields approximately

• 58 - 72 calories

• 89.97 g water

• 7.4 g carbohydrates (primarily lactose)

• 4.2 g fat

• 0.9 g protein

Generally, human milk contains about 20 calories per ounce, but the fat content can vary greatly throughout the day and during a single pumping session.

Composition:Colostrum vs Mature Milk

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 23: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

• Breastfeed on demand. This allows baby to adjust intake in response to changes in breast milk. Additionally, more frequent feedings may boost fat content of your milk.

• Let baby take his time at each breast. Premature breast-switching can rob babies of higher-fat “hind” milk.

Whats Inside ?

Jess Wong Hui Juan @Dec. 2015

Page 26: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

History of Commercially Available Infant Formulas in the United States

Cow-milk-based formulas1867 – Formula contained wheat flour, cow

milk, malt flour, and potassium bicarbonate

1915 – Formula contained cow milk, lactose, oleo oils, and vegetable oils; powdered form

1935 – Protein content of formula considered

1959 – Iron fortification introduced

1960 – Renal solute load considered; formula as a concentrated liquid

1962 – Whey:casein ratio similar to human milk

1984 – Taurine fortification introduced

Late 1990s – Nucleotide fortification introduced

Early 2000s – Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty-acid fortification introduced

Non cow-milk-based formulas1929 – Introduction of commercially available

soy formula (soy flour)

Mid 1960s – Isolated soy protein introduced

Is it same?

1.The importance of breastfeeding to the Baby

Human milk:• Provides ideal nutrition

• Protects against many infections

• Prevent some infant deaths

• Reduces risk of allergies

• Reduces risk of conditions such as juvenile-onset diabetes, ( in families with a history of these conditions)

• may assist in blood pressure regulation

• Reduction of obesity in later life

• Readily available, no preparation , suited to the child’s need

30

2.The importance of breastfeeding to the Mother

Women who DO NOT breastfeed may increase risk of:

• Breast cancer, and some forms of ovarian cancer

• Hip fractures in older age

• Retention of fat deposited during pregnancy which may result in later obesity

• Anaemia due to low contraction of the uterus and early return of menses,

• Frequent pregnancies due to lack of child -spacing effect of breastfeeding

• Fewer opportunities to be close to their baby.

Page 41: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

9. The importance Exclusive Breastfeeding for first 6 months, giving no other liquid or food

• provides all the nutrients and water that a baby needs to grow and develop in the first six months

• First 6 months means:

• to the end of 6 completed months or 28 weeks or 180 days (not the start of 6 months)

• NO drinks or food given to baby other than breastmilk

• Most exclusively breastfed young infants feed at least eight to twelve times in 24 hours, including night feeds.

• Vitamins, mineral supplements or medicines can be given, if needed.

41

Session 3: Promoting Breastfeeding During Pregnancy Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 42: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Exclusive breastfeeding for First 6 months

Any of these will interfere:

• If baby is given:

–any drinks or foods other than breastmilk.–Given pacifier/dummy/ soother

• Limits placed on number of breastfeeds

• Limits placed on sucking time/ length of breastfeed

42

Session 3: Promoting Breastfeeding During Pregnancy Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 43: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Exclusive breastfeeding for First 6 months

Few points why it is important

• Reduce diarrhoea and infectious diseases

–Reduce infant deaths

• Reduce risk of respiratory infection for baby

• Get the right antibodies to protect baby from illness

• Develop jaw, teeth and speech development

43

Session 3: Promoting Breastfeeding During Pregnancy Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 44: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

10. The importance of continuing breastfeedingafter 6 months

After 6 months:

• children should receive complementary food

• and continue to breastfeed

• Breastmilk continue to be important, providing 1/3 to ½ the calories for the child at 12 months

• Should be continued up to 2 years and beyond

Introduction

• In normal breastfeeding, there are 2 elements necessary for getting milk from the breast to the baby :

1. A breast that produces and releases milk

2. A baby who is able to remove the milk from the breast with effective suckling

Inside the Breast

• Fat and supporting tissue - give the breast its size and shape

• Nerves - transmit messages from the breast to the brain to trigger the release of lactation hormones

• Alveoli - produce milk

• Milk ducts - carry milk to the nipple.

Breast Milk Production and Regulation

51Session 6: How Milk Gets from Breast to Baby

Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 52: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Milk Production

•1st stages of milk production• Under control of hormones

•During pregnancy• Glandular tissue in breast makes colostrum• Pregnancy hormones prevent larger quantity of milk

•After delivery• Increased milk quantity in breast as hormones of pregnancy

drop 30-40 hours after delivery• 2 hormones become important: Prolactin, Oxytocin

52Session 6: How Milk Gets from Breast to Baby

Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 53: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

PROLACTIN

•Hormone that makes the alveoli produce milk.

•Works after a baby has taken a feed to make the milk for the next feed.

• can also make the mother feel sleepy and relaxed.

• Level is high in the first 2 hours after birth

•Highest level at night• breastfeeding at night allows for more prolactin secretion.

•More Prolactin secreted at night

•Suppress ovulation

56Session 6: How Milk Gets from Breast to Baby

Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 57: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

• causes the muscle cells around the alveoli to contract • and makes milk flow down the

ducts. • This is essential to enable the baby

to get the milk.

• This process is called the oxytocin reflex/ milk ejection reflex/ letdown. • It may happen several times during

a feed.

Signs of Oxytocin Reflex

•Painful uterine contractions, sometimes with rush of blood

•Sudden thirst

•Milk spraying from breasts/ leaking from breasts

•Feeling squeezing sensation in breast

** may NOT always feel physical sensation

Thinking lovingly about baby

• Feeling pleased about her baby and confident

• Relaxing and getting comfortable for feeds

• Expressing little milk and gently stimulating the nipple

• Keeping the baby near

• Massage upper back

Feedback Inhibitor Of Lactation (FIL)

•Milk contains an inhibitor that can reduce milk production.

•The amount of milk that is produced depends on how much is removed.

— If milk is not removed and the breast is full, this inhibitor decreases production of milk.

— If milk is removed from the breast, then the inhibitor level falls and milk production increases.

• To ensure plentiful milk production, make sure that milk is removed from the breast efficiently.

How to prevent FIL from collecting and reducing milk production

• Make sure that the baby is well attached

• Encourage frequent breastfeeds• Allow baby to feed for as long as she

or he wants at each breast• Let the baby finish the first breast

before offering the second breast• If baby does not suckle, express the

milk

Baby’s Role

•Baby suckling controls:• Prolactin production

• Oxytocin reflex

• Removal of inhibitor within the breast

•For mother to produce milk for baby’s needs• Baby must suckle often

• Must suckle in the right way

66Session 6: How Milk Gets from Breast to Baby

Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 67: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Good Attachment

• Nipple and areola are stretched out to form a long “teat” in the baby’s mouth.

• The large ducts that lie beneath the areola are inside the baby’s mouth.

• The baby’s tongue reaches forward over the lower gum.

• When a baby takes the breast into his or her mouth in this way, the baby is well attached and can easily get the milk.

• .

• Internal view

• Internal view

Poor Attachment

• Nipple and areola are not stretched out to form a long “teat” in the baby’s mouth.

• The milk ducts are not inside the baby’s mouth.

• baby’s tongue is back inside the mouth, cannot press out the milk

• sucking only on the nipple, • cannot suckle effectively or get the

milk easily.

How to decide:if baby is well/poorly attached

Good Attachment

• Baby’s mouth wide open

• The lower lip is turned out

• chin is touching the breast (or nearly so).

• More areola is visible above the baby’s mouth than below.

Poor attachment

• Mouth not wide open

• The lower lip is pointing forward.

• The chin is away from the breast.

• More areola is visible below the baby’s mouth (or equal amount above and below)

Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 71: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Action of Suckling

•When breast touches the baby’s lips (or the baby smells the milk)• The baby put their head back slightly• opens their mouth wide• puts their tongue down and forward, to seek the breast.

(rooting reflex)

•When baby close enough to the

breast• takes a large enough mouthful• can bring the nipple back 3X normal size

until it touches the soft palate (sucking reflex)

71Session 6: How Milk Gets from Breast to Baby

Ministry of Health Malaysia

Page 72: Breastfeeding and nutrition by jess wong hui juan 05022017

Action of Suckling

• Muscles then move the tongue in a wave from the front to the back of the mouth, expressing the milk from the ducts beneath the areola into the baby’s mouth.

• The baby swallows when the back of the mouth fills with milk (swallowing reflex).

Thawing• Frozen breastmilk may be thawed slowly in a

refrigerator and used within 24 hours.

• Do not boil milk or heat it on the stove, over a direct fire or in a microwave oven • this destroys some of its properties and can burn the

baby’s mouth.
