“…EBF can reduce hospital admissions due to pneumonia [4], and helps prevent anemia [5]. There are also benefits for mothers who breastfeed: easier uterine involution, less chance of developing breast cancer, makes mother feel singular pleasure when breastfeeding her child and in most cases protects mother from a new gestation.…”

Objective: To evaluate the factors related to the time of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in infants from Pará de Minas and Três Corações (Minas Gerais) and Brumado (Bahia), Brazil. Material and Methods: All mothers attended in public and private hospitals of these cities between June and December 2012 (n=156) were invited to answer an interview related to EBF. Data were collected: (1) at maternity ward; (2) at 4 and (3) 6 months of the infant's life. In (2) and (3), data were collected by phone. Data were recorded in the SPSS software, and descriptive analyses and association of exposure and outcome variables related to the practice of EBF were performed. The chi-square test was used, considering p <0.05. Results: The total of women was in (1) 156, (2) 104 and (3) 123, and the EBF rate was 50.0%, 39.0% and 4.8%, respectively. In (1) mothers with lower schooling level have opted for EBF more frequently. In (1), the use of bottle did not interfere in EBF; on the other hand, in (2) and (3), the use of bottle has decreased the frequency of EBF (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The ideal frequency of EBF recommended by WHO to the six months of the infant's life is not followed in the evaluated cities. In addition, EBF can be influenced by the use of bottle and maternal schooling level.

“…Studies suggest that maternal characteristics can cause variations in the components of colostrum and milk, and these changes are dependent on the nutritional status or previous diseases of the mother (Olivares et al 2007;Teixeira et al 2010;França et al 2011aFrança et al , 2012aFrança et al , 2013Morceli et al 2011Morceli et al , 2013. This work shows the influence of maternal hypertension on proteins in milk.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in minerals, antibodies, complement and cytokine levels in the human milk of hypertensive women based on the time of collection (diurnal/nocturnal) and the type of milk. The material was collected from 23 mothers at three stages of maturity: 3 days (colostrum), 10 days (transitional milk) and 30 days (mature milk) postpartum -and at two times -diurnal (12:00 h) and nocturnal (24:00 h) -resulting in a total of 138 samples. The minerals, antibody, complement, IFN-γ and TGF-β cytokine levels were determined. Increases in sodium and potassium were observed independent of phase, while phosphorus was observed only during nocturnal period. IgA was higher in the transitional milk of hypertensive mothers in the nocturnal period. IgG was higher in the nocturnal period of hypertensive mothers regardless of milk maturation. The C3 protein increased during the diurnal period in the transitional and mature milk of hypertensive women. Milk concentrations of the cytokines IFN-γ and TGF-β were higher during the nocturnal period of hypertensive mothers. These data suggest that the milk of hypertensive mothers exhibits alterations proteins and inflammatory mediators, and these alterations are dependent on time and milk maturation.

“…22 Similarly Maria de lourds et al in their study on the influence of breast feeding type and of maternal anemia on hemoglobin concentration in 6 months old infants has concluded that maternal anemia did have an influence on the hemoglobin level of 6 months old infants even when only children on exclusive and predominant breast feeding were analyzed and there is an urgent need to prevent maternal anemia before conception, during pregnancy and throughout lactation. 23 Also, Jareen K et al in a study on infant anemia and its association with maternal anemia had stated that maternal anemia was independently associated with a threefold increased risk of infant anemia (p value 0.03) and those associations were not explained by confounding with other maternal or infant factors. 24 Colomer et al in a prospective cohort study tested 156 neonates and analyzed the relation between hemoglobin concentration of pregnant women and the risk of anemia in their infants at twelve months of age.…”

Background: Anemia is a significant health problem in developing countries. Maternal anemia reduces fetal iron stores prior to birth and hence babies born to anemic mothers tend to develop iron deficiency anemia before 6 months which has adverse psychomotor consequences. Objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of anemia and weight gain pattern in 3 - 6 months old term exclusively breast-fed infants and its association with maternal anemia.Methods: This is a cross - sectional analytical study including 120 babies who are born as term appropriate for gestational age. Preterm and babies with history of bleed or jaundice were excluded from the study. The haemoglobin estimation and weights of these babies was measured after informed consent from parents. Maternal haemoglobin concentration during last trimester was obtained from the maternal records.Results: Seventy-nine (65.8%) out of 120 babies had haemoglobin concentration <11gm/dl, which was significantly associated with maternal anemia (p <0.004, OR 5.9). Thirty-seven (30.8%) babies had low weight for age and were born to anemic mothers and 28% of this variation in weight was contributed by maternal anemia (p = 0.001).Conclusions: Low haemoglobin and poor weight gain in term 3-6 months old babies are significantly associated with maternal anemia in last trimester.
