Relationship of HC and CC at birth
HC>CC
When does HC become equal to CC
6 months
When does CC become bigger than HC
1 year
Cut off measurement for severe malnutrition using MUAC?
<11.5cm
Explain wet weight
Normal weight of severely malnourished children due to additional weight from edema
Growth factors in breast milk and their function
Epidermal growth factor: intestinal growth
Transforming growth factor: epithelial growth
Nerve growth factor: neuronal growth
Enzyme found in breast milk and its function
Platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase: blocks PAF
Role of lactobacillus bifidus
Maintains acidity-inhibiting bacteria
Role of lactoferrin
Binds with fe for better absorption
Inhibits e.coli, staph, candida
Role of lsozymes
Bacteriostatic
Anti-staph, anti- gram (-)
Role of lactoperoxidase
Kills step enterobacter
Executive order 51
National Milk Code
Prohibits advertising of infant formula
RA 7600
Rooming-in and Breastfeeding Act
AO No. 2009-0025
New policies and protocol on newborn care
Nonseparation of mother and newborn
AO No. 2005-2014
National policies on young child breastfeeding
All newborns should be breastfed
Exclusive 6mos
>6mos breastfeeding + complementary
Role of glands of morgagni
Oil glands provides scent that direct baby to nipple and protect skin of nipple and areola durin feeding
Average number of milk ducts per nipple
9
Main stimulus for milk let-down reflex
Suckling on nipple (oxytocin)
Estrogen and progesterone effect on milk secretion
Inhibitory
These hormones decrease after delivery allowing of initiation of milk secreton
Ideal duration of feeding
15 mins per breast
Explain lactation crisis and hormone involved
Epinepherine may be secreted in the first few days of feeding when the mother is still hesistant (anxious)
Epi blocks let-down and may cause lactation crisis.
Rest period before feeding
15-20mins after birth
Breast crawl
Movement made when during skin to skin contact to get to the breast
Important to have stepping reflex
Durationof sucking reflex
42wks AOG to 1month
Trigger of sucking-swallowing reflex
Nipple touching hard palate
Minimum feeding times in a day
8x or every 3hrs
Milk supply on day 1
5mL
Day of peak milk secretion
Day 5
Responsible for yellow tinge of colostrum
Carotenoids
Vitamins found in colostrum
A,E,K
When does colostrum, transitional, and mature milk appear?
Colostrum: 2-3days post partum
Transitional: 7-14 days
Mature >14 days
Two types of mature milk and their composition and role
Foremilk
- thin fluid
- high water content
- source of water and hydration for baby
Hindmilk
- creamier milk
- high fat content
- for satiety — makes baby stop feeding
Three types of stool and when they occur
Meconium: 1-3 days after birth
Transitional stool: 3-5 days or until 7th day
Milk stools >5 days
