Different and distinct stages of breast milk
- Colostrum
- Transitional milk
- Mature milk - fore and hind milk
first stage of breast milk; either yellowish or creamy; thicker than milk produced later in breastfeeding
Colostrum
occurs after colostrum and lasts for approximately two weeks; includes high levels of fat, lactose, and water-soluble vitamins; have MORE calories than colostrum
Transitional milk
the final milk that is produced. 90% of it is water, which is necessary to keep your infant hydrated; other 10% is comprised of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
Mature milk
2 types of mature milk
- Fore milk
- Hind milk
Type of mature milk ejected at the beginning that contains water, vitamins, and CHON
Fore milk
Type of mature milk ejected after initial release; contains HIGH amount of FAT necessary for wt. gain
Hind milk
Complementary feeding is given
From 6 - 24 months
Process of formation of milk in mothers
Lactogenesis
Practice of placing newborn in the same room as the mother right after delivery up to discharge to facilitate bonding and initiate breastfeeding
Rooming in
A hormone that simulates milk production; major trigger this hormone to be released is SUCKING
Prolactin
Hormone for letdown or ejection of milk; plays role in uterine contractions during delivery and after delivery by sealing blood vessels and shrink in size
Oxytocin
Colostrum is rich in multiple immunoglobulins; it is abundant with ___.
IgA (remember “A” gAtAs!)
Colostrum component
High CHON; low in CHO and Fats
Component of hind milk
Abundant in fat globules, rich in phospholipid (cell growth and development), and cholesterol (myelination of CNS)
Main proteins present in colostrum
Ig A and lactoferrin
Major CHO in human milk
Lactose
