Q

placenta anatomy

A

metabolically active organ that connects baby and mother, blood never mixes

Fetal blood vessels project into placenta, in pool of mother’s blood coming from outer side of placenta
Fetal veins transport excreted products back to mother for external excretion
Fetus is entirely dependent on this system for respiration, nutrition and excretion

Q

placenta functions

A

supply of nutrients and waste-removal system
produces hormones that maintain pregnancy and prepare body for lactation such as lactogen, estrogen and progesterone

progesterone - growth of uterus and block contractions
estrogen peaks towards the end of pregnancy and also helps uterus and fetus grow but stimulates contractions
lactogen adapts metabolic state of mom to to feed baby

Q

Alcohol effects on fetal development

A

crosses placenta and is directly toxic
limits oxygen delivery
slows cell division
reduces number of cells organs produce

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: alcohol related neurodevelopmental disorder, alcohol related birth defects (malformations)
birth defects: smaller eyes more spaced apart, receding forehead, small jaw, uneven ears, drooping eyes, flat upper lip

4 drinks per day malformations will be likely, 1 drink per day neurology and behavior can be affected, do abstinence

24
Q

hormones for lactation

A

hormones promote growth and branching of duct system and development of milk producing cells
prolactin: milk production hormone
oxytocin: let down reflex of milk release signaled by suckling

25
Q

breast milk qualities

A

unique composition for baby, changes as needs change
contains immune protective factors that also adjust to needs
poor source of vitamin D, requires 400IU supplementation for first year of life

milk is produced as breasts are emptied (more made to meet demand, if demand goes down, production decreased)

naturally sterile, colostrum is thick serum with antibodies and white blood cells to inactivate bacteria, bifidus factors to build gut biome

26
Q

let down reflex pathway

A

suckling stimulus signals hypothalamus
hypothalamus signals pituitary gland
prolactin and oxytocin release simultaneously

27
Q

breast milk composition compared to cow’s milk

A

breast milk: 6% lactalbumin protein, 55% fat (EFAs), 39% lactose with ample vitamins and minerals excluding vitamin D

cow’s milk: 21% protein (casein), 26% fat, 53% lactose

28
Q

additional benefits of breastfeeding for mother and child

A

child: may protect against chronic disease development later in life, protects against food allergies
mother: contracts uterus to return to normal size, delays return of ovulation preventing births too close together, conserves iron stores, may protect against ovarian and breast cancer

29
Q

nutrition during lactation

A

500 kcal extra: 330 from diet, 170 from fat stores
3.8L of fluid per day
accelerated weight loss in women who breast fed 3+ months

30
Q

if mother is nutritionally deprived, breast milk will

A

be reduced in quantity, not quality at the expense of maternal stores

31
Q

breastfeeding stats

A

87% in Canada start breastfeeding, 77% in US start breastfeeding (maternity leave legislature)

32
Q

to avoid during lactation

A

alcohol - infants drink less bc it affects taste, and inhibits oxytocin
some drugs can affect milk production or be secreted into breast milk
smoking reduces milk volume

33
Q

formula feeding

A

iron fortified formula
no immune protection or unique adjustments
no falling asleep with bottle - can risk tooth decay from pooling milk in mouth
transition to cow’s milk at 12 months, whole milk (3.25%)

34
Q

being breastfed reduces risk of

A

overweight/obesity, type 1 diabetes, asthma,
longer duration breast feeding associated with lowered risk of type I and asthma

35
Q

if not breastfeeding or not breastfeeding for 1 year

A

infant formula for 12 months, other foods can be introduced at 6 months

36
Q

Complementary food and beverage
Nutrients to focus on with CFB

A

No CFB before 4 months, start between 4-6 months
Iron, vitamin C and zinc rich foods: meats, seafoods and eggs and iron-fortified cereals and then vitamin-C rich foods like pureed fruit and veg

37
Q

how to prevent food allergies

A

tiny exposure of allergenic foods after 6 months old (but not before 4 months), especially egg and peanut

38
Q

food allergy definition

A

food proteins elicit immune response involving antibody production
reaction can be immediate or delayed up to 24 hours
can trigger anaphylactic shock
treatment requires elimination from diet, some research into low dose immunotherapy, epinephrine when acute

39
Q

food intolerance definition

A

production of symptoms without immunological response
common symptoms: stomach aches, headaches, rapid pulse, nausea, wheezing, coughing, hives

40
Q

top food allergens

A

most common: peanuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soybeans, fish/shellfish
others: mustard, sesame seeds, sulphites, tree nuts, triticale

41
Q

what developments at 6 months old make a child ready for CFB?

A

swallowing and gag reflex developed
able to sit up and control head movement
kidneys are more mature
iron stores are depleted

42
Q

energy intake during infancy and childhood
weight changes over first year

A

100kcal per kg (compared to 30-40kg per day for adults)
1 year old - 800kcal
6 year old - 1600 kcal
10 year old - 2000 kcal
doubles by 5 months, triples by 1 year

43
Q

infant feeding behavior to encourage
avoid

A

self-feeding/baby led weaning, cut food into thin strips, try new foods, stress-free meals
hard, round foods like cherries, hot dog, popcorn and grapes b/c choking hazard
avoid honey for 1 year, because babies can’t metabolize botulinum spores

44
Q

self-feeding promotes

A

hand eye coordination, self-regulation and independence

45
Q

cow’s milk transition

A

after 12 months
only whole milk until year 2, no soy or other alternatives

46
Q

DRI carbohydrates, fiber and fat for children

A

1-3 years: 130g carbohydrate, 19g fiber and 30-40% of energy fat
4-8 years: 130g carb, 25g fiber, 25-35% energy as fat

47
Q

BMI for age percentiles for boys and girls

A

ages 2-5: 3rd-85th percentile is healthy
85th-97th is risk for overweight
97th-99.9th is overweight
99.9 and above is obese

ages 5-19:
below 3rd percentile is underweight
85th-97th is overweight
97th-99.9th is obese
99.9 and above is severely obese

48
Q

iron deficiency behavioral symptoms

A

reduced energy, affects mood, attention span and learning ability
iron supplements can only be prescribed by health care providers for children

49
Q

increased television watching impacts children’s nutrition

A

reduces metabolic rate, reduces active time, increases snacking, least likely to eat fruits and vegetables and become obese

50
Q

a healthy 24 hours guideline for children

A

sweat for 60 minutes
a few hours of light physical activity
9-11 uninterrupted hours of sleep
no more than 2 hours of screen time

51
Q

severe acute malnutrition (SAM) categories

A

under -3 STD from the mean is severely wasting
< -2 STD is wasting, > +2 STD from mean is overweight
further from mean, the higher risk of mortality from wasting or chronic disease from overweight

52
Q

lactogen

A

placental hormone - modifies metabolic state of mother during pregnancy to feed fetus

53
Q

progesterone during pregnancy

estrogen during pregnancy

A

Progesterone levels slowly increase during pregnancy
Progesterone helps the uterus (womb) grow during pregnancy and keeps it from having contractions

estrogen levels increase steadily during pregnancy and reach their peak in the third trimester and help the fetus to grow and develop

54
Q

WHO charts for under 2 years old weight categories
from 2-19 years old

A

girls and boys length for age and weight for age, head circumference and weight for length

also height for age and weight for age

55
Q

to prevent iron deficiency in children:

A

7-10mg per day in iron intake from dietary sources
fortified grains, mushrooms, plums, beans and meats
