Filter by:Exclusive breast milk is recommended from birth to 6 months of life to promote the development of a balanced intestinal microbiota. Human milk provides several bioactive components, from natural probiotics such as Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp., to their metabolites which colonize the intestine of the newborn. However, if breast milk is not available or insufficient, it is used formula milk as a substitute. Infant formula can be supplemented with postbiotics to promote maturation of immune, metabolic and microbial components, similar to breast milk. Postbiotics are preparations composed of both microbial constituents and their metabolites, produced during fermentation.
This research was carried out in order to determine the effect of breast massage and hot compresses on milk release and anxiety to mothers with premature babies in YYBU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)
Breastmilk is considered optimal for infant growth and development. However, evidence suggests that breastmilk composition can vary according to maternal nutritional status. Among women in Pakistan, there is a high burden of undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. As well, the prevalence of early stunting among Pakistani infants is high. Using a hypothesized pathway model, this study will assess pathways between maternal nutritional status, breastmilk composition, and infant linear growth. This is a substudy to the Matiari emPowerment and Preconception Supplementation (MaPPS) Trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03287882).
This study aims for characterization of different maternal, infant and environmental factors (e.g. maternal age, pregnancy duration, lactation period, baby gender, circadian rhythm, Holder pasteurisation, etc.) that influence human milk composition.
Collect breast milk samples in various administrative regions of China to measure the nutrients in breast milk; analyze the composition of nutrients; and establish the database of breast milk in China.
This study will quantify lipid peroxidation products (malondialdehyde, 4 hydroxy-2-nonenal, hexanal, and 8-iso-PGF2α), fatty acid content, and antioxidant capacity in donor human milk sampled from two neonatal units in the UK. Comparison will be made to preterm transitional/mature milk and term mature milk.
The study will collect human milk from 100 mother of term infants 2-3m after delivery and from 50 mothers of preterm infants 14 and 30 days after delivery. Sample content will be analysed and statistical analysis will look at correlation between demographics, dietary habits and milk composition.
The purpose of this study is to explore the effect maternal obesity and breastfeeding play on infant body composition. The investigators hypothesize in the first 6 months of life breast fed offspring from overweight / obese mothers will be fatter with greater trunk fat mass and accumulate fat at a greater rate than breast fed infants from normal weight mothers. Furthermore, the investigators postulate that circulating maternal milk adipocytokines will positively correlate to total fat mass at six months of age.
