Stages of Human Milk• Colostrum-2-4 days, yellow creamy,
increase in pro., vit, min.and IgA• Transition -until 2 wks PP, increase in
fat and calories• Mature-90% water• Foremilk- H20, vit, protein• Hindmilk-more fat• Should BF 6-12 months

Advantages • Provide immunologic protection for up to 18 months
• More easily and efficiently absorbed
• BF+ sunlight= no supplements
• BF promotes attachment• Contraindication-breast CA,
HIV, galactosemia, flagyl, jaundice, another pregnancy

Bottlefeeding
• Parents can share caring for newborn
• Higher incidence of allergic reaction(cow)
• Problem with powder concentration
• Cow milk not acceptable for infant feeding.
• Too much protein,calcium,phos, sodium potassium

Newborn Feeding• Indications of newborn hunger?• Colostrum can be aspirated without irritation.• Benefits- oxytocin production, stimulates
peristalsis, decrease bilirubin, + attachment• Newborn may play with nipple, recognize
odor of mother• Assess for fistula or atresia• To R side for drainage and gastric emptying

Physiology of Breastfeeding
• Lobes-alveoli- small to larger lactating ducts flow toward nipples
• Breast development influenced by estrogen
• Prolactin increases after birth and with sucking
• Sucking stimulates post pituitary to release oxytocin
• Letdown-caused by stimulation of myoepithelial cells

Effects of Drugs on BF• Avoid long acting drugs• Observe infant for adverse

quickly• Weigh risks and benefits
