“…However, compared to EBF, PBF is more sustainable after work if it is motivating and supported at work and at home. 31 32 There are reports that BF continuation after returning to work is influenced by occupation type and working conditions 27 31 33 ; however, in this study, the association between occupation type and EBF or PBF was not significant and was excluded from the final analysis. In the future, more well-designed national-level data on this topic may be needed for future policy formulation to promote BF.…”

Background International authorities recommend prolonged breastfeeding (PBF) for 12–24 months or more with 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). Based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data, this study attempted to help encourage and educate breastfeeding (BF) over 1 year by investigating long-term BF trends and related factors in Korean infants and their mothers. Methods This cross-sectional study was based on data on children aged 12–23 months and their mothers from 2010 to 2020. BF rates were compared between KNHANES V (2010–2012), KNHANES VI (2013–2015), KNHANES VII (2016–2018), and part of KNHANES VIII (2019–2020). In addition, data related to mothers and infants, including demographics, socioeconomic, educational, and health status, were collected, and their association with BF status was analyzed. Results Of the 933 infants included in the study, the proportions achieving full BF at 6 months of age and PBF at 12 and 18 months were 34.8%, 33.7%, and 7.1%, respectively. Over the past 10 years, the trends of all three BF practices have significantly decreased since 2016 ( P < 0.001). Of the 849 infants whose maternal data were available, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that EBF for 6 months (defined as full BF at 1, 3, and 6 months of age) positively correlated with maternal and infants’ factors such as unemployed status, past BF experience, no history of drinking, and infants’ birth weight of ≥ 2.5 kg. The mother’s education level, particularly the nutrition label impact, current employment status, and smoking and drinking status, were significantly associated with PBF for ≥ 12 months but were not related to PBF for ≥ 18 months, except for drinking status. Conclusions In Korea, the long-term BF rate of ≥ 12 months has declined in the past 10 years, and BF becomes rare after 18 months. Higher maternal interest in nutrition information appears to be driving access to PBF over 12 months than EBF for 6 months or PBF over 18 months. To promote PBF over 12 months in Korea, it may be helpful to strengthen nutrition education that specifically emphasizes the benefits of PBF along with EBF, especially during infant health examinations.

“…Essas políticas públicas no País, historicamente, têm atuado sob a ótica da promoção, da proteção e do apoio à mulher 26 . No entanto, os direitos estabelecidos por lei para as mães trabalhadoras são garantidos somente àquelas com contratos formais de trabalho 28 . O retorno ao trabalho tem sido reportado como importante barreira para a manutenção do AM, indicando a urgência de políticas públicas que atendam à realidade das mães trabalhadoras brasileiras 13 .…”

Promoção ao Aleitamento Materno nos Centros de Educação Infantil do município de São Paulo

2022

RESUMO Este estudo objetivou descrever as etapas de planejamento, implementação e monitoramento das ações de promoção ao Aleitamento Materno (AM) nos Centros de Educação Infantil (CEI) da Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo. Foram estruturadas quatro frentes de trabalho: elaboração de materiais orientativos; realização de formações; estruturação de campanha de comunicação; e monitoramento. Além de vídeos de publicização, foi produzido informativo para as equipes educacionais com orientações para a manutenção do AM após a matrícula da criança. As formações anuais visaram subsidiar ações pedagógicas e atingiram todos os territórios educacionais do município. A campanha CEI Amigo do Peito definiu critérios para reconhecer os CEI comprometidos com o AM. O número de CEI Amigos do Peito passou de 93 em 2018 para 875 em 2022. Foi enviado formulário eletrônico para todos os CEI do município para avaliação de indicadores: interesse de familiares em manter o AM; ambiente disponível para amamentação; realização de projetos; presença de mães amamentando; e entrega de leite materno. A adesão dos respondentes variou de 40,8% a 50,9%. Os resultados mostraram a urgência da responsabilidade compartilhada entre setores governamentais para promover o AM.

“…On the other hand, the Brazilian family profile has changed since the 1980s, culminating in a significant increase in women's participation in the labor market. To continue breastfeeding, many women need to store their milk to supply enough for their infants (Lima et al, 2019).…”

The Influence of Time and Temperature on Human Milk Storage Antioxidant Properties, Oxidative Stress, and Total Protein

et al. 2022

Background: Human milk is an essential source of nutrition for an infant’s health. When breastfeeding working mothers or students, for example, are unable to breastfeed, storing their milk is recommended. Therefore, it is crucial to know the storage conditions to ensure their antioxidant capacity and avoid oxidative damage. Research Aim: To evaluate the stability of the antioxidant and pro-oxidant profiles and the amount of total protein in fresh human milk after different storage times (1, 2, 7, 14, and 21 days) and temperatures (4 ºC and -20 ºC). Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal, and observational study with milk samples grouped according to age for comparisons, which included 20 lactating women. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using the colorimetric methods of free radical scavenging 2,2’-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid and the decrease of ferric ion. Oxidative stress was determined by the lipid peroxidation product formation through malondialdehyde concentration, and the total protein content was assessed by the Bradford method. Results: The antioxidant profile of human milk was maintained with minimal losses until the 14th day when stored at 4 ºC and -20 ºC. The evolution of malondialdehyde concentration over storage revealed significant changes only 21 days after human milk storage at 4 ºC. There was no change in the value of total protein content. Conclusions: To sum up, there is no difference in the storage of human milk at a temperature of 4 °C or -20 °C over 14 days. Therefore, the lactating woman may choose the most convenient way of storage.
