Background: Breast engorgement is a condition where the breast becomes firm, diffuse, painful overfilling due to infrequent or ineffective removal of milk from the breasts. Engorgement usually begins around days 3 to 7 during the postpartum period when the breast milk starts to come out. Breast engorgement tends to experience by Primiparous patients. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effects of Aloe vera gel compression on reducing breast engorgement pain on breastfeeding mother Methods: This was an experimental study with one group pretest-posttest. The analysis was performed in a Private midwifery Practice in Sarolangun. The sample of this study was twelve postpartum women who experienced breast engorgement. The intervention of this study was using aloe vera gel, as external usage with 10 mg for every square centimeter. The pain scale was measured twice, before and after the intervention. Pain scale measurement was using NRS ( Numeric Rating Scale) Results: paired T-test results p-value of 0.002 < 0.05 indicates that aloe vera compression brings positive impact on reducing breast engorgement pain scale in postpartum women Conclusion: Aloe vera compression can relieve pain associated with breast engorgement. Therefore, this intervention may be suggested to postnatal mothers for managing breast engorgement.

ASI adalah makanan pertama yang alami untuk bayi. ASI menyediakan semua energi dan nutrisi yang dibutuhkan bayi untuk bulan-bulan pertama kehidupan. Masalah menyusui pada masa pasca persalinan salah satunya adalah sindrom ASI kurang, sehingga bayi merasa tidak puas setiap setelah menyusu, bayi sering menangis atau bayi menolak menyusu, payudara tidak membesar yang mengakibatkan gagalnya pemberian ASI pada bayi Angka cakupan ASI eksklusif di Provinsi Sulawesi Tenggara baru mencapai 35,01%, dan di wilayah Kabupaten Kolaka baru mencapai 40,1%. Alasan utama anak 0-23 bulan belum/tidak pernah disusui adalah karena ASI tidak keluar dan ASI tidak cukup (65,7%). Data menunjukkan 33,3% bayi yang berumur 0-5 bulan telah diberikan makanan prelakteal dengan jenis makanan terbanyak adalah susu formula (84,5%). Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui faktor yang memengaruhi produksi ASI pada ibu menyusui di RSB Harifa Kabupaten Kolaka. Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah ibu menyusui berjumlah 100 orang. Desain penelitian ini adalah studi analitik kuantitatif dengan pendekatan Cross Sectional. Hasil penelitian didapatkan, ada hubungan yang signifikan antara pola makan (p value = 0,021), pola istirahat (p value = 0,009), dukungan suami (p value = 0,005), teknik menyusui (p value = 0,021) penggunaan ASI Booster (p value = 0,025) dengan produksi ASI.Keluaran dari penelitian ini diharapkan bidan dapat menggali faktor yang dapat menjadi penyebab terganggunya produksi ASI dan dapat memberikan konseling yang tepat pada ibu dan keluarga.

Background: Breast Milk (BM) is the primary nutrient that must be given to babies. Complete breast milk nutrients help the babies' growth, development, and boost immunity. Some data found that breastfeeding triggers infant allergies. Objectives: To critically appraise the evidence of the effectiveness of the breastfeeding mother's elimination diet (ED) in treating allergies of infants ages 0-12. Methods: A literature search was conducted for publication during 2016 – 2021 using the following databases: EBSCO, Google Scholar, and Proquest with the search keywords of "Elimination Diet" AND "Allergies" AND "Breastfeeding". Eight primary articles were selected and included in the review. Results: The study revealed five themes, namely the effectiveness of the elimination diet, the variation of the elimination diet, the effects of the elimination diet, the breast milk benefit, and the support from the family and healthcare while doing the elimination diet. Conclusion: Having babies with allergies can put mothers in a dilemma situation. Fortunately, a mother can still breastfeed their babies without worrying about their babies' growth. Support from health workers and families is needed by breastfeeding mothers in doing the elimination diet consistently.

Inadequate breast milk production is the most common inhibiting factor causing the cessation of exclusive breastfeeding practices an effort to increase the rate of secretion and production of breast milk is through the use of traditional herbal medicines such as decoction and extraction of katuk leaf (Sauropus androgynus). Katuk leaf extract (Sauropus androgynus) has been known to have a variety of pharmacological activities. This paper aims to review the botany, phytochemistry, ethnopharmacology, and pharmacological activities of S. androgynus, and discuss the known chemical constituents at work in S. androgynus-induced prolactin level to increasing breast milk human. The data presented in this review were collected from published literatures as well as the electronic databases of PubMed, CNKI, Web of Science, SCI finder, ACS, Science Direct, Wiley, Springer, Taylor, Google Scholar, and a number of unpublished resources, (ex: books, and Ph.D. and M.Sc. dissertations). Searching for research articles in several databases using certain keywords breast milk human and katuk (Sauropus Androgynus) leaf literature. All abstracts retrieved were screened for inclusion. All types of articles, including case series and case reports, were included due to the lack of herbal katuk leaf clinical trials. Exclusion criteria consisted of non-English and nonhuman articles. In conclusion, there was a significant effect of katuk leaf consumption towards increasing breastmilk production volume.

Objective To examine the differences in women’s perceptions of hospital-based breastfeeding care and the association of these perceptions with exclusive breastfeeding. Design Observational, mixed-methods study. Setting/Local Problem A 932-bed, Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative–designated, university hospital with approximately 2,000 births per year, where 50% of women who wanted to breastfeed were supplementing with formula before hospital discharge. Participants Thirty-four women who gave birth to a term, singleton newborn and had a desire to breastfeed exclusively. Measurements Women’s perceptions were assessed using a modified version of the Questionnaire for the Breastfeeding Mother. Results Women’s perceptions of breastfeeding care were positively associated with exclusive breastfeeding (p = .049). In addition, the influence of how a woman’s own mother fed her as an infant was shown, because women who themselves were breastfed as infants were more likely to exclusively breastfeed their own newborns. Content analysis showed that women appreciated the care received in the hospital from lactation consultants and access to a hospital-administered breastfeeding clinic after discharge. Conclusion Creating a hospital environment supportive of breastfeeding could yield positive breastfeeding outcomes for women and newborns.

Background: WHO recommended that mother breastfeeds exclusively for the fisrt six months. However, a lot of mothers do not realize it. Generally, the anxiety on milk production, the family and occupation commitment, waking up at night and perceiving uncomfortable breastfeeding in public place become the objectives of this study that is for reviewing evidence related the impact of breast pum usage on breastfeeding mother. Method: According to ArskeyO’Malley include (1)Identifying scoping review questions are conducting review focus with PICO framework (2)Identifying relevant article (3)Selecting article (4)Data Charting and (5)Arranging, summing up and reporting findings. Results: The theme of scoping review is the impact of breastfeeding success, the negative outcome of breast pump, and the factors which influence decision for mother’s milk pumping as well supporting for breast pump. Conclusion: the impact of breast pump usage affects breastfeeding duration and mother’s milk production as well as painful breast.

Background: Massage or stimulation of the spine, neurotransmitters will stimulate the medulla oblongata to directly send messages to the hypothalamus in the hypophyseposteriorly to release oxytocin, causing the breasts to release milk. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on milk production in breastfeeding mothers in the Banda Sakti Public Health Center, Banda Sakti District, Lhokeseumawe City. Metods: The study design was an analytical study using a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all breastfeeding mothers who were in the Banda Sakti Public Health Center Lhokseumawe totaling 40 breastfeeding mothers. The sampling method in this study is to use the total population. Where the sample of this research is the entire population, amounting to 40 respondents. The trials in this study were conducted in Hagu Teungoh Village, Banda Sakti District, Lhokseumawe City with a total of 10 respondents, 30 questions with a product moment r value of 0,70. Result: The results showed that of the 28 breastfeeding mothers who did oxytocin massage, the majority of their milk production was smooth, namely 17 people (60,7%), while of the 12 breastfeeding mothers who did not oxytocin massage the majority of their milk production was not smooth, namely 9 people (75%). Recommendation: It is hoped that it can increase respondents’ knowledge in an effort to increase milk production and can inform the impact of the failure of the breastfeeding process.

AIM: This study aims to identify implementation of hypnobreastfeeding therapy as an effort to reduce the incidence of underweight on children aged 0–6 months. METHODS: This study is a pre-experimental with pre-test and post-test design. Subjects were children aged 0–6 months who are underweight. The intervention was conducted over 2 months. Data were analyzed by univariate analysis using frequency distribution table and bivariate using McNemar test. RESULTS: Before the education through hypnobreastfeeding therapy, only 33.3% of women having a good attitude about exclusive breastfeeding to children. After the intervention for 2 months, the percentage of good attitude increase as many as 73.3% and the mother is encouraged to continue to breastfeed the child obtained that a total of 18 children (60%) of the total 30 children aged 0–6 months are underweight, which has been entered into the category of normal nutritional status. A difference in the attitude of breastfeeding and status of underweight children aged 0–6 months before and after implementation of hypnobreastfeeding therapy (p < 0.000). CONCLUSION: There are differences in the attitude of the breastfeeding mother (p = 0.012) and underweight status of children aged 0–6 months (p = 0.000) before and after the implementation of hypnobreastfeeding therapy.

Breastfeeding rates in the United States continue to be variable and are not meeting benchmarks established by Healthy People 2020. The literature indicates that although breastfeeding knowledge of providers is paramount in the success of breastfeeding mothers, most receive minimal education regarding breastfeeding management. Recognizing a lack of opportunities for nursing students to practice breastfeeding management during clinical rotations, a breastfeeding simulation program was implemented for students prior to beginning Maternal Child Health clinicals. Students reported increased confidence in caring for breastfeeding dyads and enhanced comfort when providing care to a breastfeeding mother (breastfeeding self-efficacy). This hands-on educational approach can be utilized for any provider working with breastfeeding dyads.

Nutritive diet has grabbed the center stage in current times among common men as well as researchers &food has turned into a whole damn industry. Despite of everything, Malnutrition is the largest single contributor to diseases in the world & leads to 45% of all deaths in children under 5 in developing countries. Due to interrelated mother- child nutrition, if a breastfeeding mother gets required nutrition, her kid becomes healthy. The causes of improper nutrition are variable but lack of nutritious food combinations in all classes are most important throughout the world. Ayurveda is science of individualistic need based dietetics & nutrition and describes foods accordingly. There is recommendation of a super food named Shigru (Moringa) for Sutika (lactating mothers) in Bheshajyaratnawali,taking this as reference we have conceptualized a food combination of Moringa +wheat flour+ jaggery which is super nutritious and serves as a cheap, affordable, easy to collect and easy to make, palatable preparation. When 11% of the world’s population is under nourished, need for such right food combination increases manifolds. Owing to per 100g nutritive value of these contents and their cost effectiveness, this combination has a potential to be a perfect staple dietary option for nutrition deficit individuals. It needs to be further established at large scale through RCTs so that large population can be benefitted.

Prolactin is one of the important hormones for increasing the synthesis and secretion of breast milk. Katuk (Sauropus androgunus (L) Merr) leaf biscuits are standardized and practical processed food products that are substituted with katuk leaf extract and have met the requirements as additional food for breastfeeding mothers. In addition to nutritional content, katuk leaf biscuits also contain phytochemical compounds, namely steroids and alkaloids. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of katuk leaf biscuits on increasing serum prolactin levels of breastfeeding mothers. This research was conducted in the city of Bandung. The design used was a randomized controlled trial. The sample was 45 primiparous postpartum mothers who gave birth at the public health center for Obstetrics and Neonatal Basic Emergency Services (Puskesmas PONED) in Bandung City, consisting of 22 treatment groups and 23 control groups. Sampling is conducted by block randomization. Data were analyzed using the Independent T-test. The results showed that there was an effect of katuk leaf biscuits on increasing serum prolactin levels in breastfeeding mothers. It is suggested that katuk leaf biscuits be used as an alternative as an effort to increase breast milk production so that it can support the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

The achievement rates for exclusive breastfeeding are still not encouraging. One of the factors that caused it is lack of support from the mothers’ husbands or family in the process of exclusive breastfeeding. This support is very pivotal since it may motivate and give mothers the confidence to breastfeed. To find out the relationship between family support and maternal self-efficacy in exclusive breastfeeding. This study uses a cross sectional approach, which consists of the dependent variable (self-efficacy) and the independent variable (family support). The inclusion criteria are as follow: (1) breastfeeding mothers who have babies aged 1-6 months (2) mothers who live with their nuclear family in one house (3) mothers who live with their extended families in one house (4) mothers are able to read and write. The sampling technique used was non-probability purposive sampling using questionnaire as an instrument. Then the data were analyzed using the Spearman’s Rho statistical correlation test with a significance ofp≤ 0.05. The total respondents of this study were 49 people. The most obtained data is nursing mothers who experience good self-efficacy (69.4%). Statistical test results with Spearman’s rho obtainedpvalue = 0.000 (α< 0.05) which means that there is a relationship between family support and self-efficacy, with the strength of the relationship (r= 0.854) indicating that it is very strong with the same value direction, i.e., if the family support of the mother is lower, then the self-efficacy of the mother will be low. There is a relationship between family support and self-efficacy in breastfeeding mothers. The higher family support, the higher the level of self-efficacy

It is known that nutritional composition of breast milk is, to a certain extent, related to maternal diet. The question of nutritional adequacy of mothers' milk is often raised whenever a vegetarian or vegan diet during the lactation process is concerned. For this reason, in some countries, the recruitment of vegan lactating women as milk donors is excluded by milk banks. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize existing knowledge on variability of specific nutrients in breastmilk of mothers adhering to a plant-based diet. The databases, including MEDLINE (Pubmed) and Scopus, were used to identify relevant publications. Data extraction and analysis were conducted following a PRISMA protocol. Thirteen publications concerning the impact of dietary pattern and levels of animal-origin food intake on breast milk composition were included. The systematic review has shown that all non-vegetarian, vegetarian and vegan mothers produce breast milk of comparable nutritional value. Several differences are primarily attributed to fatty acids and some micro-components, primarily vitamin B12. Regardless of dietary choices, nourishment and adequate nutrition have a significant impact on human milk composition - on the basis of the current evidence, vegetarian and vegan mothers are capable of producing nutritionally valuable milk for their infants, as far as the appropriate supplementation compensating for breastfeeding mother's nutritional requirements is provided. Dietary choices should not be a permanent exclusion criterion for donor candidates in human milk banks.

Almost any compound given to the mother can be found in her breast milk, but transfer favors drugs that are of small molecular weight, non-ionized, lipid soluble and do not bind extensively to maternal plasma proteins. Women giving birth may safely receive most anesthetic drugs and, with the exception of codeine, most analgesics (morphine preferred over mepiridine). Resumption of pregnancy and/or pre-pregnancy medications may be safely done for almost all drugs, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, and chronic pain. Drugs affecting the central nervous system (CNS) (antipsychotics, anxiolytics, antidepressants, antiepilepsy drugs) present a special problem. To date all CNS drugs measured have appeared in breast milk. They may affect the receptors in the CNS of the developing infant. There are few long-term studies; these may be difficult to conduct due to so many socioeconomic and genetic variables. LactMed, a website operated by the National Library of Medicine, contains extensive information of approximately 1000 drugs (including herbal compounds).

Breast milk (breast milk) has been known for many benefits, but breastfeeding is still a problem. The purpose of this study was to identify social support and motivation in breastfeeding. The design of this study is descriptive analysis using cross sectional or cross sectional approach. Sampling technique with non probability sampling with the type of purposive sampling with a sample of 43 respondents. The results showed there was a relationship of social support with the mother's motivation in giving breast milk to LBW (p

The aim of this study was to estimate radionuclide levels in breast milk and the transferred dose to their infants in Sendai (100 km from Fukushima), Japan after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. Radionuclide concentrations were analyzed in 101 specimens of breast milk collected in 2012. Median values for minimum detectable activities were 0.39, 0.34, 1.1, 1.89, and 17.1 Bq/kg for 137Cs, 134Cs, 131I, 110mAg, and 40K, respectively. Only radionuclides from 40K were detected. To estimate potential exposure and radiocesium dose, we assumed that the samples contained each minimum detectable activity level. The mean minimum detectable activity concentrations (standard deviation) of 137Cs and 134Cs were 0.42 (0.15) and 0.37 (0.14) Bq/kg, respectively. Means of estimated dietary intakes of 137Cs and 134Cs among infants were 0.35 (0.12) and 0.31 (0.11) Bq/day, respectively. The committed effective doses of radiocesium in infants aged 3 and 12 months via breastmilk were estimated at 5.6 (2.1) and 3.3 (1.2) μSv/year, respectively. Dietary intakes of 137Cs and 134Cs in breastfeeding mothers were back-calculated at 1.9 (0.71) and 1.7 (0.65) Bq/day, respectively. The study verified no discernible exposure to radionuclides among infants. The most conservative estimates were below the Japanese internal exposure limit of 1 mSv/year.

Breastfeeding is one of the best ways to feed a child because breast milk contains the most essential elements of growth through equal proportions that meet the needs of the child every day from birth to weaning age. It is the easiest and most useful food used by the child since it contains concentrated amounts of Proteins, and substances containing antimicrobials and microbes, and thus transmits additional immunity to the newborn against diseases in order to cooperate with what has been taken from the placenta during pregnancy from disease-resistant substances, and then from a health point of view, infectious and intestinal disorders are rarely present Or breastfeeding mother's breast unlike industrial milk, which is often accompanied by gastrointestinal disorders indicated by the World Health Organization in 1980, which indicated that more than ten million children have died as a result of non-breastfed from their mothers' reports. In addition, the calories contained in the amount of breast milk is much higher than the milk produced by the caloric calories in the same amount, so the child gets more food and increases the weight quickly, and psychologically, most of the research that the breastfeeding Especially in the first year prefer breast feeding because it strengthens the emotional and social bond between mother and child, the survival of the child attached to his mother's breast during breastfeeding satisfies his emotional and psychological needs and immersed him with a sense of safety and reassurance; Breastfeeding has a great impact in terms of meeting Through the imposition of values, principles, social norms, customs, customs and traditions that enable him in the future of his life to interact socially and sound with different life situations. تمهيد وتقسيم: تعتبر الرضاعة الطبيعية من ثدي الأم أفضل الوسائل لتغذية الطفل وذلک لأن لبن الأم يحتوي على أکثر العناصر الضرورية للنمو من خلال نسب متعادلة تفي بحاجات الطفل يوما بيوم منذ ولادته وحتى سن الفطام، وهو أسهل الأطعمة التي يستعملها الطفل ويستفيد منها إذ أنه يحتوي على کميات مرکزة من البروتينات المهضومة وعلى المواد المحتوية على مضادات الجراثيم والميکروبات وينقل بذلک مناعة أخرى تضاف إلى الوليد ضد الأمراض حتى تتعاون مع ما سبق أن أخذه من المشيمة أثناء الحمل من مواد مانعة للأمراض([1])، ثم أنه من الناحية الصحية فإن الاضطرابات المعدية والمعوية قلما توجد مع استخدام الرضاعة الطبيعية من ثدي الأم على عکس اللبن الصناعي الذي کثيرا ما يصاحبه اضطرابات معدية ومعوية دلت على ذلک تقارير هيئة الصحة العالمية لعام 1980م التي أشارت إلى أن أکثر من عشرة ملايين طفل قد لقوا حتفهم نتيجة عدم إرضاعهم من أمهاتهم. هذا علاوة على أن السعرات الحرارية التي تحتويها کمية من لبن الأم تفوق کثيرا ما يحتوي عليه اللبن الصناعي من السعرات الحرارية الموجودة في نفس الکمية، لذلک فإن الطفل يحصل على کمية أکبر من الطعام ويزيد وزنه بسرعة، أما عن الناحية النفسية فإن معظم البحوث إلى أن الرضاعة الطبيعية خاصة في العام الأول تفضل عن الرضاعة الصناعية لأنها تقوي الرابطة الانفعالية والاجتماعية بين الأم والطفل، فبقاء الطفل ملتصقا بصدر أمه أثناء الرضاعة يشبع احتياجاته العاطفية والنفسية ويغمره بشعور جارف من الأمان والاطمئنان؛ کما أن للرضاعة الطبيعية أثر عظيم من الناحية الاجتماعية وذلک عن طريق فرض القيم والمبادئ والمعايير الاجتماعية والعادات والأعراف والتقاليد التي تمکنه في مستقبل حياته من التفاعل الاجتماعي السليم مع مختلف مواقف الحياة([2]). لذلک کله تبرز أهمية دراسة الرضاعة الطبيعية کحق من الحقوق الشرعية للمحضون، وذلک من خلال تعريفها ومدتها ومدى وجوبها على الأم وأحکام الأجرة والظئر وأثر الرضاعة علي النحو الآتي: التمهيد: أهمية الرضاعة. المبحث الأول: في تعريف الرضاعة ومدتها في الفقه الإسلامي والقانون الوضعي. المطلب الأول : تعريف الرضاعة ومدتها في الفقه الإسلامي والقانون المطلب الثاني : مدى وجوب الرضاع على الأم في الفقه الإسلامي والقانون المبحث الثاني: في الأجرة على الرضاعة وأحکام الظئر وأثر الرضاعة على حق الحضانة في الفقه الإسلامي والقانون الوضعي. المطلب الأول : أحکام الأجرة في الرضاع في الفقه الإسلامي والقانون المطلب الثاني : أحکام الظئر في الفقه الإسلامي والقانون المطلب الثالث : أثر الإرضاع في حق الحضانة في الفقه الإسلامي والقانون الخاتمة وتتضمن: فهرس المصادر والموضوعات

Clothes and under-wears have always been a fundamental issue for women throughout history; as they consider them to be an important element that expresses their personality and femininity. The main function of female under-wears; specifically bras; is to provide clothes with an aesthetical appearance, as they can effectively conceal some of the body flaws and positively re-shape it according to its different physical states; especially during the breastfeeding phase. Many breastfeeding mothers face the problem of inappropriate bras; this problem has many reasons including the inability to decide the right bra size because of the breast flabbiness caused by breastfeeding, also; in many cases; when mothers spend a lot of time working outside their homes, some of the milky liquid might leak through their bras and wet their clothes; which is very embarrassing; also; the mother often faces a constraining problem when feeding her baby, as she tries to hold it with one arm and feed it with the other, in addition to the annoying issue of putting her breast back inside the bra properly to maintain her decent feminine appearance. Problem of research can be defined in the following questions: - What are the bra types suitable for breastfeeding mothers, especially during their working hours or while spending a lot of time outside the house? - What are the appropriate bra designs that allow the mother to breastfeed her baby while outside the house? - How can the breastfeeding mother determines her right bra size; especially its cup? - Is it possible to make some alterations in the bra design to facilitate breastfeeding outside the house, and also to absorb the leaking milky liquid to stop it from wetting cloths and embarrass the mother? Objectives - Identifying the bra types suitable for breastfeeding mothers. - Providing a proposed method that helps the breastfeeding mother; who suffers from the changing size or flabbiness of her breast; to determine her right bra size, especially its cup. - Conduct some alterations in the bra design to facilitate breastfeeding outside the house and absorb the excess milky liquid. methodology: The research follows the analytical descriptive method to study the different types of bras; and the experimental method to propose a method that helps breastfeeding mothers; who suffers from breast size-changing and flabbiness; determine the right bra size for them; especially its cup; by creating bra designs with alterations and additional that facilitate breastfeeding outside the house and absorb the excess milky liquid. Conclusions: - The guidebook prepared by the researcher; to demonstrate the different types of bras suitable for breastfeeding mothers and how to determine the right size and choose the best design; has proven to be effective and has achieved its objectives. - The proposed design solutions for breastfeeding outside the house and to absorb the excess milky liquid; have proven to be efficient and practical in solving a consistent problem that faces the working mothers and those who spend a lot of time outside the house; by maintaining their feminine appearance without the need to give-up their babies’ natural feeding method

Insufficiency of fulfillment ASI as the main reason a mother to stop breastfeeding early, she felt ASI owned did not affect the growth of the baby's weight (Binns, 2002).

Health workers, especially midwives in order to consider complementary therapies that Moringa leaf extract and massaging at point cancung to increase the volume of milk so that achievement can be increased breastfeeding mothers. Keywords : Moringa leaf extract, cancung point, breast milk, breastfeeding mother

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd In this article, my general aim is to give place to the experiences of breastfeeding distress which emerged during narrative research with mothers in Australia. I suggest that breastfeeding distress must be read not only in terms of the specific socio-spatial landscape through which it takes hold but also in terms of the lived and often non-compliant landscape of the body itself. Informed by accounts of the dominant context of idealized or exclusive motherhood in nations such as Australia, the UK and USA, and drawing on conceptual work concerned with connecting the cultural and corporeal through thinking about place, I explore two instances of breastfeeding distress: pain and inauthenticity. In both of these contexts women battle with the shameful fallout of being unable to perform what Rebecca Kukla describes as ‘proximate mothering’ exemplified in the figure of the breastfeeding mother exclusively able to latch her baby directly to her breasts. As I discuss, women's experiences of extreme pain during breastfeeding and their use of alternative ‘inauthentic’ modes of feeding (such as bottled pumped breastmilk or formula) shatter their expectations of living the ideal of extended maternal embodiment. Also emerging through these distressing experiences, however, is a potentially resilient awareness of the inherently misshapen nature of motherhood which always overflows its idealized state.

A central goal of The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is the development of clinical protocols, free from commercial interest or influence, for managing common medical problems that may impact breastfeeding success. These protocols serve only as guidelines for the care of breastfeeding mothers and infants and do not delineate an exclusive course of treatment or serve as standards of medical care. Variations in treatment may be appropriate according to the needs of an individual patient.

Working mom's busyness affects the physical and psychological condition of the mother inhibiting the smoothness of milk production. The application of hypnobreastfeeding makes the mother relaxation so as to increase the hormone prolactin and oxytocin for smooth milk production. The procedure of hypnobreastfeeding by giving a positive suggestion/affirmation sentence in the mother's unconscious mind can increase the mother's confidence in the breastfeeding process. The purpose of this study was to explain the effect of hypnobreastfeeding on breast milk production on breastfeeding working mothers. This study used one group pretest posttest design. 25 breastfeeding working mothers were taken by consecutive samping. Hypnobreastfeeding is done independently after being given 1x workshop and performed every day at least 2x a day before breastfeeding. Breastmilk production is measured for 7 days before and after hypnobreastfeeding using a measuring cup based on the volume of dairy milk in a day. The average milk production before treatment 210 ml / day and after treatment to 255 ml / day. Data analysis using paired t-test with significant value α = 0,05 got p value = 0.000 indicating hypnobreastfeeding effect to milk production in working breastfeeding mother. Nurses or other health workers may recommend hypnobreastfeeding as one of the lactation management methods to increase breastfeeding production, especially in working breastfeeding mothers.

Genistein and daidzein could stimulate the prolactin hormone that play a role in breastmilk production. Black soybean contain genistein and daidzein which has a potent to developed as the functional food for breastfeeding mothers. The purpose of this study was to get the optimal formula, determine the nutritional value, and genistein and daidzein contents of black soybean beverage. The beverages were made from 5 variations of time soaking (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours). Further analysis of sensory and nutritional value from the beverages. The results showed that the beverage with 12 hours time soaking was the most preferred beverage by panelists. One serving (150 ml) of selected beverage was able to supply 3.65% of carbohydrate needs; 4.75% of protein needs; 3.33% of fat needs; and 3.68% of total energy based on Recommended Dietary Allowance of Indonesian breastfeeding mother per day. It contained 2.78 ± 0.25 mg/g of genistein and 0.087 ± 0.13 mg/g of daidzein.

Exclusive breastfeeding until 6 month is very important for baby. The proportion of mothers who exclusively breastfeed their babies up to 6 months remains low. Factors influencing the exclusive breastfeeding namely sociodemograph factors , factors pre / post delivery , and psychosocial factors. This aims of this study to identify determinant factors of exclusive breastfeeding on mother. This research method is a systematic review , by analyzing the various studies on exclusive breastfeeding. There are 17 studies. The results obtained occupational factors most studied with significant results ( median OR = 1.265 ). Psychosocial factors that have significant relationship is support of her husband (average OR = 4.716 ) and family support ( average OR = 1.770 ). Conclusions : factors influencing the exclusive breastfeeding is occupational factor. Socialization and support from people nearby, health workers, and all parties is needed for exclusive breastfeeding for six months can be achieved.

Breast milk (ASI) is the best natural nutrition for babies because it contains energy and substances needed during the first six months of a baby's life. However, there are times when a mother experiences problems in breastfeeding, the main obstacle is that milk production is not smooth (Saleha, 2013). Data obtained from the Lhoong Health Center in Aceh Besar District, in 2017 the target of exclusive breastfeeding was 277 people, and only 135 people gave exclusive breastfeeding (48.7%). While the number of breastfeeding mothers (infants aged 0-6 months) in the January-November 2018 period was 161 people, 92 people (57.1%) experienced fluency (57.1%), and 69 people (42.8%) were not fluent.The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the smoothness of breastfeeding in breastfeeding mothers in the Work Area of Lhoong Health Center, Aceh Besar District. This research is analytic with cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all mothers of all breastfeeding infants aged 1-6 months, totaling 150 people. The sampling technique is done by simple random sampling with the number of samples obtained is 60 people. Data collection was carried out on 2-29 April 2019. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test with a significance limit of 95% (P:S0.05).The results showed there was a relationship of knowledge with the smoothness of breastfeeding in breastfeeding mothers where P-value=0.001, there was an association of IMD with the smoothness of breastfeeding in breastfeeding mothers where P-value=0.029, there was a correlation between frequency of breastfeeding and smoothness of breastfeeding in breastfeeding mothers where P-value=0.005, and there is a relationship between breast care and the smoothness of breast milk in nursing mothers where P-value=0.030. It is expected that health workers can be able to carry out counseling activities about the smoothness of breast milk and also the cause of non-smooth milk so that if breast milk is smooth, the milk needs for infants can be met.

Morbidly placenta accreta as a cause of postpartum morbidity is increasing in incidence. One conservative option is use of methotrexate as an adjuvant therapy for the management of placenta accreta. There is concern that use of methotrexate in a lactating mother could potentially expose her neonate to harmful effects of this medication.Here we report a 29-year-old woman subjected to methotrexate treatment for placenta accreta. Her child was delivered at 32 weeks weighing 3 lbs. On postpartum day 5, this patient was diagnosed with placenta accreta and treated with intramuscular methotrexate for 3 consecutive days. She received 92 mg methotrexate intramuscularly daily, and was advised not to breastfeed. She collected milk samples on day 2, the 0 hour before the second dose and at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after taking the dose. A high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry method was developed to measure methotrexate and its metabolite 7-hydroxymethotrexate levels in milk samples.Very low levels were found for both methotrexate and 7-hydroxymethotrexate in the milk samples obtained. The results indicate that methotrexate or its metabolite receded to minimum concentration over a period of 24 hours.This case report found the relative infant dose of methotrexate to be 0.11%. Methotrexate does transfer into breast milk, although the levels detected were very low. However, caution should still be used in counseling mothers regarding breastfeeding with this toxic drug.

Very few drugs are licensed for use by breastfeeding mothers. This does not, in itself, imply risk. There are expert sources which provide information on studies and pharmacokinetics which allow clinicians to make an assessment of the amount of drug passing through milk to the baby and any potential risks. The passage of drugs into breastmilk is governed by several factors: the oral bioavailability of a drug and the half-life of the drug. Research has shown that more drugs are prescribed for breastfeeding mothers in the immediate postpartum period than at any other time. The bioavailability is defined as the fraction of the dose which reaches the systemic circulation intact. The lower the oral bioavailability, the safer the drug is for a breastfeeding mother to take. The extent to which a drug is bound to plasma proteins in the maternal bloodstream influences the amount that is available to pass into milk.

Joffe and colleagues discuss the environmental benefits of breastfeeding over formula milk.1 As a doctor and recent breastfeeding mother, I would like to emphasise that breastfeeding is not an automatic bodily function, nor is it free or resource neutral. I was unable to breastfeed exclusively, …

Inadequatemilksupplyduringthefirstfewdays’after delivery become concern from most of the women. Indonesia Health Research and Development Agency in 2010 stated that the failure of exclusive breastfeeding commonly caused by insufficient milk production. The intervention of SPEOS (EndorphinStimulation, Oxytocin Massage, and Suggestive Technique) methods are offered to post-partum mothers in increasing breast milk supply. This study aimed to identify the influence of SPEOS on breast milk supply among post-partum mothers at Primary Health Care in Cimahi Tengah Indonesia. Quasi-experimental research with non-equivalent control group design was conducted. A total of 20 postpartum mothers were involved in this studyby using accidental sampling technique. The data were taken from March to April 2018 through observation on the amount of breast milk by pumping in two times observation including before and after the SPEOS method applied. The data were analyzed by t-independent test. Ethical approval was obtained from Health Research and Ethics Committee of Institute of Health Science Jenderal Achmad Yani Cimahi No. 005/KEPK/II/2018.

Background: MotherSafe is a free telephone-based counseling service for Australian consumers and health care providers concerned about drug exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Calls relating to breastfeeding are relatively common and a source of significant distress to the breastfeeding mother, particularly if there is a lack of clarity regarding possible adverse effects of drug exposure on the infant. This study seeks to identify the medication exposures of concern for breastfeeding mothers and the information available to address these concerns. Aims: To review calls to MotherSafe about breastfeeding drug exposures during the 19-year period from 2000 to 2018 and to highlight drugs of concern and counseling issues. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive assessment of a prospectively collected Access database was undertaken. Phone counseling records identified the medication (and other) exposures of concern regarding breastfeeding. The information about medication exposures via breastfeeding provided in consumer and product information (PI) was also reviewed. Results: Of a total of 315,158 calls received at MotherSafe between 2000 and 2018, 116,876 (37.1%) were regarding drug exposure via breastfeeding; 30% of these calls related to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, simple analgesics, and antibiotics, and 5% were regarding an exposure specifically contraindicated when breastfeeding. Conclusions: Queries about medication exposures via breastfeeding represent a significant proportion of all the counseling calls to MotherSafe. This study demonstrates the inconsistent and often misleading information about breastfeeding exposures found in consumer and PI sheets and online and highlights the important role of Teratogen Information Services like MotherSafe in providing evidence-based information to both consumers and health care providers.

Exclusive breastfeeding is crucial in the early newborn nutrition fulfillment with many benefits such as preventing mental and behavioral disorders, supporting brain development and intelligence, and providing more than 100 enzymes. In this study, we develop a knowledge-based model which can assist exclusive breastfeeding mother against clinical finding found during the first six months period. The model takes the information of experienced symptoms/conditions (in both the mother and the newborn), gives the calculation of certain clinical finding’s risk factor based on Certainty Factor (CF) given, and gives recommendation of follow up to the user. Therefore, the newborn's mother can monitor their health condition and use this model as a precaution to get health assistance as soon as possible through health service providers in her surroundings. The knowledge base and its CF are built from domain experts knowledge acquisition and Indonesian related health literature. The model is evaluated based on 25 different random trials against experts’ assessment. The precision from this evaluation reaches 88% by taking given symptom/condition only, which shows that the developed model performs very well in detecting clinical finding through CF-based risk factor calculation. However, in the end of this paper we also point out the way to increase higher precision to close to perfection by drilling the information of symptom/condition given.

The anticancer potential by breastfeeding is not fully tapped in the light of the present knowledge of the subject. Literature indicates that breastmilk has anticancer action but may underestimate its full capacity. The protective spectrum within breastmilk hints on the need for a more comprehensive understanding of it as an anticancer tool. Exclusive breastfeeding could confer protection from carcinogenesis with a greater impact than realised. A literature review was conducted using four electronic databases. Selected areas were extracted after thorough perusal of the articles. The uninitiated would take exclusive breastfeeding seriously if actively counselled as an anticancer tool. Advice on details of the breastfeeding process and holistic information on breastfeeding may endow a greater impact among the skeptics. Counselling the breastfeeding mother on information sometimes not imparted, such as on maternal nutrition, details of the process of breastfeeding, benefits of direct breastfeeding versus milk expression and her psychosocial well being may make a difference in optimising anticancer action that exists in breastmilk. Additionally, its anticancer potential provides a platform to universally improve physical and psychosocial well being of women who breastfeed. Statistics of protection by breastfeeding in some maternal and childhood cancers are evident. “Bio-geno-immuno-nutrition” of breastmilk may shield the mother and infant from carcinogenesis in more ways than appreciated. The molecular basis of mother-to-infant signals and their “energies” need to be researched. Breastfeeding as a modifiable behaviour provides cost effective nutrition with potential for both cancer immunoprophylaxis and immunotherapy.

The rate of exclusive breastfeeding that is not in accordance with the national target is influenced by several factors. Factors that influence the process of breastfeeding can come from within the mother and from outside. This research was conducted with the aim to identify the characteristics of breastfeeding mothers in the Exclusive Pumping Mama Indonesia Group. This research uses descriptive method with survey approach. The population in this study is breastfeeding mothers who are members of the Exclusive Pumping Mama Indonesia Group.

Maternal and child health is one of the priority aspects to consider. Based on the results of the 2012 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), it was shown that the neonates mortality rate in 2012 was 19 per 1000 live births. This problem arises in part related to the problem of breastfeeding. The results of the screening for the nutritional status of toddlers at the posyandu showed that as many as 11 toddlers were malnourished, this was due to the low knowledge of mothers regarding the balanced nutrition of toddlers, poor attitudes in fulfilling balanced nutrition for toddlers, and poor culture in fulfilling toddler nutrition. The main target of this program is assistance for the formation and training of Breastfeeding Mothers' Groups in an effort to improve the health status of mothers, babies and toddlers in Penyengat Olak Village, Kec. Jambi Outside the City. The output of this program is there is an increase in community participation in improving the health of mothers and children by assisting the formation of groups of breastfeeding mothers. The implementation of the activity was started with an observation of the breastfeeding mothers research group in several Penyengat Olak village which consisted of 3 breastfeeding mothers' groups, namely in the RT. 18, RT 19, and RT 20. Each group consists of 10 people consisting of pregnant women and nursing mothers. It is hoped that the continuity of breastfeeding mother's breastfeeding program can be maintained, even though there are many factors raised by members, such as being busy taking care of the house and children, inappropriate meeting times, long distances, and so on.

Well-being is something that everyone, especially breastfeeding mothers, wants to achieve. Well-being is needed by postpartum mothers to play a new role optimally in the lactation process. The individual experience of breastfeeding is influenced by knowledge, positive affect and a lot of confidence in the breastfeeding process to achieve well-being during the postpartum psychological adaptation process. This study aims to describe the well-being of breastfeeding mothers. Literature review regarding the well-being of breastfeeding mothers using databases from ProQuest, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, and Scopus obtained from 2008-2020 with a total of 10 articles. Synthesis analysis reveals seven aspects that affect the well-being of postpartum mothers in the breastfeeding process, such as 1) family support, 2) self-efficacy, 3) initiation in the first time breastfeeding. 4) positive mood, 5) awareness of self-acceptance, 6) negative obstetric experience, 7) knowledge. Postpartum mothers can improve well-being through the management of factors that influence postpartum psychological adaptation as a positive preventive effort in increasing the ability of the lactation process to prevent ineffective breastfeeding.

Breast milk is the first, main, and best food for babies, which is scientific. Breast milk contains various nutrients needed in the process of growth and development of babies.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorescence detection was developed and validated for the determination of gemifloxacin in human breast milk. The proposed method allows the determination of gemifloxacin in breast milk samples without complex sample preparation. The samples were mixed with a mobile phase and filtered with a 0.45 µm polytetrafluoroethylene filter before analysis. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm I.D.) using methanol:50 mM ortho-phosphoric acid solution (40:60) as the mobile phase with a 1.0 mL/min flow rate. Quantitation was performed using fluorescence detection with an excitation wavelength at 272 nm and an emission wavelength at 395 nm. The linear range was found to be 0.1-2.5 µg/mL. The method was applied successfully for the determination of gemifloxacin in breast milk obtained from a breastfeeding mother after oral administration of a single tablet that included 320 mg gemifloxacin per gemifloxacin tablet.

This chapter focuses on the lives of women and their babies in the intimate reciprocity of breastfeeding. It explores relationships between the breastfeeding mother and her child through the 24 hours, and the seasonal variations—linked with agricultural work and the harvest, or with arid and rainy seasons, for example—that exist in some societies. There are many aspects of breastfeeding that need to be explored further. Most important of these is the meaning that breastfeeding has for mothers in each society and each culture within a society. In breastfeeding, as in the conduct of childbirth, the tyranny of clock-watching has intruded on the spontaneous physiological rhythms. Breastfeeding avoidance is frequently part of a system of values that stresses the conjugal relationship at the expense of the mother–baby relationship, and that puts priority on the sexual privileges of men, and the use of a woman to display men's status and wealth.

Cauda equina syndrome is widely considered as a surgical emergency. The cause of cauda equina syndrome usually is a large central lumbar disc herniation, prolapse or sequestration. Decompression at the earliest has been suggested by many authors but the planning of surgical management becomes challenging when the patient is a breastfeeding mother. Fear of harmful effects of the drugs (administered in the mother) on the infant, always confuses clinicians regarding the treatment approach. So the multidisciplinary approach is necessary with involvement of anaesthetist, paediatrician and also a gynaecologist if necessary. Thorough knowledge of the safety of drugs to be used in operative and post operative period becomes a necessity keeping the baby into consideration. We present a case of one month postpartum female with cauda equina syndrome and present a stepwise multidisciplinary approach, which involves active contributions from surgeon, for safety of the mother and the infant.
