What is the percentage of nipple inversion
3 percent
During pregnancy when do we see growth and proliferation of the ductal tree and formation of more lobules
During the first half. ( second half is secretory and alveoli ( acini) become distended with colostrum)
Describe lactogenesis 1
Mid pregnancy to day 2 post partum- colostrum
Describe lactogenensis 2
day 3-8 post partum transitional milk
Where is prolactin produced
Anterior pituitary
Where is oxytocin produced
posterior pituitary
Prolactin release is controlled by___________
Hypothalmus ( it is inhibitory- as it inhibits the release of dopamine which will inhibit release of prolactin
Prolactin levels rise with what infant activity
suckling
Prolactin levels :non pregnant, 10 days PP, 180 days PP
non pregnant 20mg/ml, 10 days 90, 180 days 44.3
at 6mos drops to almost half
What is the hormone that promotes mammary growth as permissive rather then regulatory
TSH
What is the rate of milk synthesis
17-33 mls per hour
What gestational week does sucking develop
24th week
28 weeks coordinate suck swallow breathe
32 weeks repeated suck bursts
Is there more protein in colostrum or mature milk?
Colostrum has higher protein and minerals and is lower in carbs fat and some vitamins
When do total immunoglobulins reduce during lactation
Immunoglobulins remain relatively constant throughout lactation . As milk volume decreases - concentrations of Immnoglobulins will decrease
What is the average gastric emptying time for breastfeeding?
48 mins. ( 78 mis for ABM)
Milk volumes at day 5, 5 mos, and at what moth does volume and production start to decline?
Day 5 = 500 mls a day
6 mos= 800mls a day
After 6 mos volume and production declines
Which milk components provide half of calories in breast milk?
FAT
What fatty acid account for 88% of lips content
PUFA ( polyunsaturated fatty acids ) These are the most variable element in milk and influenced by maternal dietary fat intake. NOt percentage of fat but TYPES of fat
Name fatty acids contributing to fighting virus, bacteria , fungus and decrease atopy.
Short chain fatty acids
Which milk element provides most of the carbohydrates in milk.
Lactose ( enhances calcium absorptions, metabolizes to galactose providing energy for the brain)
Describe the whey casein ratio of milk during lactation
Varies over time. Initially whey/cassein 90:10 Mature milk-----------------60/40 Late lactation---------------50:50 Remember Way more WHEY
What are the proteins in Whey?
Serum Albumin alpha lactibumin Immunoglobulins Lysozyme Lactoferrin REMEMBER: SAILL first letters

Mineral content in breastmilk is fairly constant and not impacted by maternal diet. What aids in Fe absorption
High Lactose and Vit C
What is lactoferrin
An iron binding protein with strong antibacterial action against any microorganisms that need iron to grow. Helps to regulate the absorption of iron in the intestine

What is hyperethelia?
extra nipple, super numerary, ectopic
What is micrognathia?
small chin ( pierre robin syndrome)
What is metherergine?
Meds given to control post partum uterine bleeding that when given may decrease milk supply as it decreases prolactin levels
