Cognitive development, lowers risk of allergies, vitamins/proteins/fats, antibodies, higher IQ, closeness, lower risk of diabetes/obesity/cancer, reduces dental problems, reduces infection
2 of 29
What makes the breast secretory
Progesterone makes more lactiforous cells
3 of 29
What is the name of the substance produced before breast milk
Colostrum
4 of 29
What happens to the lactating breast
******* are more prominent and montogomery tubercles more pronounced
5 of 29
Where is oxcytocin produced
Posterior pituitary gland
6 of 29
When is oxytocin secreted
When feeding and milks need to be released
7 of 29
What does oxytocin do
Works on muslces cells to expel milk. induced feeling of love and well-being
8 of 29
What is the let down reflex
Mechanical stimulation of the breast tissue activates pressure sensitive recepyors and nerve impulses stimulate the hypothalamus causing oxytocin to be released which travels to the breast in blood. Oxytocin causes the myoepithelial cells to contract
9 of 29
Where is prolactin produced
Anterior pituitary gland
10 of 29
When is prolactin secreted
Secreted to prepare breasts for feeding when oestrogen/progesterone decreases. Levels rise in response to suckling to produce milk for the next feed
11 of 29
What is the action of prolactin
Switches on milk producing cells, calmness, mothering behaviour, triggered through touch, stimulated early and frequently to ensure long term production
12 of 29
What is FIL
A protein in milk which alerts the milk producing cells to stop producing milk if the breasts become full
13 of 29
Why is breastmilk not produced during pregnancy
Placenta releases oestrogen and progesterone
14 of 29
Why does breastfeeding trigger milk production
Prolactin receptor sites open when placenta is delivered, prolactin surges prime sites to begin milk production
15 of 29
What helps to increase potential for long term milk production
Skin to skin contact and lots of feeds
16 of 29
What are the benefits of skin to skin contact
Keeps baby warm, stimulates breast-seeking behaviour, release of prolactin and oxcytocin, bonding, calming, regulates heartbeat, temp and breathing, colonises babys skin

Ensures adequate milk transfer, prevents sore *******/engorgement/blocked duct/mastisis

CHINS positioning
close, head free, in line, nose to ******, sustainable

How to help mum with breastfeeding
Unhurried skin to skin contact at birth, early/frequent feeds, baby close, feeding cues, avoid unnecessary supplements
23 of 29
What helps the baby
Rooting reflex, sucking reflex, swallowing reflex, babies toung presses milk from the ducts

BALT
Pathogens inhaled, stimulates maternal immune system, antibodies are produced and sent to breast to be incorporated into breast milk, baby receives antibodies
25 of 29
GALT
Pathogens ingested, maternal immune system, antibodies produced and sent to breast, baby recieves antibodies
26 of 29
Babys feeding cues
Moving eyes, wriggling, waving, rooting, sucking, murmuring noises, alertness, smacking lips, sticking tounge out
27 of 29
Babys route of milk
Acini cell down the milk duct to the lactiferous duct through ****** and down oesophagus
28 of 29
Features of colostrum
Protective fac, small volume, low conc lactose/fact, high protein, laxative, bifidus fac, lgA, lactoferrin, transfer fac, enzyme, nucleotide, oligosaccharides, white cells
