“…Milk removal (breastfeeding) was delayed in most cases, however the case with the lowest milk production started breastfeeding within an hour of birth and had subsequent frequent milk removal. While lower milk production at 1 and 6 weeks postpartum has been linked to delayed and infrequent milk removal [ 16 , 34 ], milk production also depends on intrinsic factors such as adequate functional glandular tissue and endocrine factors that impact proliferation and differentiation [ 16 , 35 ]. Therefore, pathways contributing to the unintended breastfeeding outcomes of women with GDM are complex and challenging to interpret.…”

“…Early infant feeding practices impact subsequent milk production [ 16 ], and so may confound the breastfeeding outcomes of women with GDM. Evidence from healthy mothers with term infants suggests that on-demand breastfeeding ≥8 times per 24 h is positively associated with milk production; therefore, reduced milk removal frequency during the early postpartum days and weeks may compromise the 24 h milk production [ 16 , 17 ]. The existing evidence regarding early infant feeding practices and milk production is limited in this population.…”

Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is major pregnancy complication that is associated with short- and long-term consequences for both mother and infant, including increased risk of diabetes later in life. A longer breastfeeding duration has been associated with a reduced risk of diabetes, however, women with GDM are less likely to exclusively breastfeed and have shorter breastfeeding duration. While the timing of breastfeeding initiation and milk removal frequency affects subsequent breastfeeding outcomes, little is known about early infant feeding practices and milk production in women with GDM. This case series offers detailed prospective breastfeeding initiation data, as well as the first report of objective measures of milk production in women with GDM. Case presentation In this case series, we present the early infant feeding practices of eight women with GDM that gave birth at term gestation. Women recorded the timing of initiation of breastfeeding and secretory activation, as well as their breastfeeding, expression and formula feeding frequencies on postpartum days 1, 7 and 21. Measurement of 24 h milk production volume was performed at 3 weeks postpartum using the test weight method. We observed a delayed first breastfeed (> 1 h) in 6 (75%) cases, formula use in hospital in 5 (63%) cases and delayed secretory activation in 3 (38%) cases. At 3 weeks postpartum, 2 cases had measured milk productions that were insufficient to sustain adequate infant weight gain. Conclusions Our data suggest that despite early and frequent milk removal, women with GDM are at greater risk of delayed secretory activation and low milk supply. Cohort studies that consider co-morbidities such as obesity are needed to determine the lactation outcomes of women with GDM.

“…Hence, they eat frequently every 2 to 3 hours and about 8-12 times in a 24 hours' period [32]. It has been reported that frequent feedings, most especially during the first few weeks after putting to bed, leads to high milk intake and weight gain in new-born [33]. Breastfeeding on demand also delivers more important nonnutritive benefits, for example, during breastfeeding, there is skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the new-born, which definitely helps the new-born to regulate their body temperature and blood glucose level [34].…”

The knowledge of caregivers is an important factor when it comes to the maintenance of both the nutritional status of children and protection of their nutritional needs to ensure a sound foundation and secure future of any healthy society. This research thus aimed at investigating the trends in Infant and Young Child Feeding practices for children aged 0 to 23 months to evaluate how the nutrition education and counselling received during contact with health workers have contributed to the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of the caregivers regarding appropriate nutrition in Ekiti State. The assessment was done using a cross-sectional survey method, and FAO’s guideline for assessing nutrition related KAP5 was adopted and used. Cochran’s equation was used to calculate the sample size, and three households were randomly picked in each political ward. Data was collected and analysed using EPI Info 7. 94.3% of the respondents breastfeed their children on demand, and 47.2% of the mothers had skin contact with their babies after delivery. 78.2% believed that exclusive breastfeeding is very good. 68.2% believed that their children could get diarrhoea from the use of a feeding bottle. 88.3% are aware that 5-9 months are the appropriate age for the introduction of semi-solid and solid food. There is a high level of knowledge, attitude and practice among the caregivers and an improvement was observed in most of the infant and young child feeding practices in Ekiti State.

“…The Cochrane report released in 2016 supports SSC for the promotion of breastfeeding. Uninterrupted SSC after birth allows the newborn to self-attach to the nipple and more effective nursing is possible which in turn leads to increased milk production and better infant weight gain (3)(4).…”

Giriş ve Amaç: Ten tene temas vajinal ve sezaryen doğumlarda tercih edilen ve pek çok olumlu etkisi bilinen bir uygulamadır. Bu çalışmada vajinal doğum sonrasında ten tene temasın plasenta ayrılma süresi ve doğum hormonları üzerine olan etkisini araştırnayı planladık. Yöntem ve gereçler: Çalışmaya XXXX kadın hastalıkları ve doğum kliniğine başvuran 40 gebe dahil edildiç çalışma grubunda doğum sonrası kesintisiz ten tene temas uygulandı, control grubunda anne ve bebek ayrıldı.Plasentanın ayrılma süresi not edildi ve doğum öncesi doğum sonrası kan örneklerinde oksitoain, β-endorfin ve katekolamin düzeyleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: Kadınların ortalam yaşı çalışma grubunda 28.55±5.97, control grubunda 26.75±6.58 idi. Plasentanın ayrılma süresi çalışma grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı biçimde daha kısa bulundu. Oksitosin ve katekolamin seviyeleri hem çalışma hem control grubunda pre ve postpartum dönemde benzerdi. β-endorfin seviyeleri postpartum dönemde iki grup arasında benzerdi ancak prepartum dönemde çalışma grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı biçimde daha yüksektir. Tartışma ve Sonuç: Doğum sonrası uygulanan ten tene temas doğum hormonları arasındaki dengeyi bozmadan plasenta ayrılma süresini kısaltmaktadır. Sağlık çalışanları ten tene temasın önemi hakkında bilgilendirilmeli ve uygulama erken postpartum dönemde yaygınlaştırılmalıdır. Doğum salonunda çalışanlar yani ebe, hemşire ve doktorlar ten tene temasın pek çok avantajının yanısıra plasenta yarılma süresini kısaltması ve doğum hormonlarına etki etmemesi konusunda da bilgilendirilmelidir.
