“…A literatura salienta, também, que a amamentação é um dos fatores mais importantes para o desenvolvimento emocional dos recém-nascidos (RN's), de modo a facilitar mais tarde, o seu relacionamento interpessoal e ainda contribuir para o seu desenvolvimento psicomotor (Pereira et. al., 2020;Salvatori et. al., 2021).…”

Objetivo: identificar o perfil segundo as variáveis sociodemográficas e perinatais das doadoras de leite materno de um banco de leite humano no Sul do Brasil. Métodos: estudo transversal, descritivo, realizado com base em 200 fichas cadastrais de mulheres doadoras no ano de 2018. Os dados coletados foram tabulados e posteriormente analisados por meio de estatísticas descritivas. Resultados: Identificou-se que as doadoras tinham mais de 25 anos (57,5%), ensino médio (42,5%) e exerciam alguma atividade profissional (50,5%). A maioria realizou suas consultas de pré-natal em instituições públicas (64,5%), eram multíparas (58,5%), com bebês nascidos a termo (58%), de cesariana (59,5%) com peso adequado ao nascer (64,5%). Não possuíam experiência em gestação anterior com amamentação (56,5%) e receberam orientação sobre amamentação no pré-natal (64,5%). No que se refere, as informações sobre o BLH, a maior parte das doadoras, recebeu essas informações de profissionais de saúde do hospital universitário (49,5%). Conclusão: Tendo em vista os benefícios trazidos pelo BLH, é de extrema importância conhecer as características das doadoras de leite humano, as quais poderão nortear os gestores na implementação de estratégias de intervenção direcionadas as ações educativas e de promoção ao aleitamento materno. Essas políticas poderão aumentar o número de doadoras e o volume de leite coletado.

“…Breastfeeding has been documented as safe under certain conditions, including measures to reduce the risk of transmission, for example, wearing a face mask and washing hands. To date, replication competent SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated from human milk and transmission of the virus to the infant through human milk has not been reported (Auriti et al, 2020;Chambers et al, 2020;Pace et al, 2021;Salvatori et al, 2021). Despite the discovery of viral particles in human milk, breastfeeding was not associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting that viral transmission through human milk, if any, is very rare (Auriti et al, 2020).…”

Antibodies Against SARS-CoV-2 in Human Milk: Milk Conversion Rates in the Netherlands

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background It has been demonstrated that human milk from mothers who have been infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) contains antibodies against the virus, which could play an important role in protecting the recipient infant against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Seroconversion is measured frequently around the world, but the milk conversion rate is unknown. Research Aims To determine (1) the prevalence and (2) the dynamics of immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in human milk amongst lactating mothers in the Netherlands. Methods In this large prospective cohort study, lactating mothers ( N = 2312) were included between October 12, 2020 and February 24, 2021. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine levels of IgA antibodies in human milk and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in serum against the ectodomain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Results A total of 691 (30.6%) participants had SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies in human milk and/or serum. Of these participants, 524 (23.1%) had IgA antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in human milk, and 356 (15.7%) had IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in serum. A total of 199 (8.8%) participants had antibodies in both human milk and serum. SARS-CoV-2 specific IgA antibodies in human milk remain present at least 10 months after a polymerase chain reaction confirmed infection. Conclusion The prevalence of IgA antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in human milk was 23.1% in our cohort. This high prevalence of antibodies in human milk might lead to passive immunity in many breastfed infants and may serve as protection against COVID-19.

“…13 As SARS-CoV-2 is effectively inactivated by pasteurization at 62.5°C for 30 min, universal screening of human milk bank samples and surfaces containers in order to detect SARS-CoV-2 has not been supported. 63 Discharge criterion were also discussed: laboratory resolution of the infection (i.e., two negative nasopharyngeal swabs 24 h apart) was not considered a mandatory criterion for discharge. In case of positive mother or infant, provided good clinical conditions of both, the whole family is quarantined home.…”

Italian neonatologists and SARS-CoV-2: lessons learned to face coming new waves

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this review was threefold: (a) to retrieve all SARS-CoV-2 evidences published by Italian neonatologists working in maternity centers and NICUs during the pandemic; (b) to summarize current evidence for the management of term and preterm infants with a SARS-CoV-2-related illness; and (c) to provide an update for dealing with the second wave of COVID-19 and discuss open questions. A review was conducted using MEDLINE/PubMed and the national COVID-19 registry of the Italian Society of Neonatology including citations from December 1, 2019 to October 28, 2020. Sixty-three articles were included. Collected data were divided into the following topics: (a) antenatal management, (b) management in delivery room, (c) postnatal management, (d) mother–baby dyad and breastfeeding management, (e) neonatal emergency transport system reorganization, (f) parents’ management and perspective during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and (g) future perspective. Evidences have evolved over the pandemic period and the current review can be useful in the management of the mother–neonate dyad during SARS-CoV-2 future waves. Italian neonatologists have played an active role in producing official guidelines and reporting data that have contributed to improve the care of neonates. A joint European action plan is mandatory to face COVID-19 in neonates with more awareness. Impact A joint European action plan is mandatory to face COVID-19 in neonates with more awareness. This review summarizes the available evidences from neonatal COVID-19 management in Italy analyzing all the published paper in this specific field of interest. The current review can be useful in the management of the mother–neonate dyad during the SARS-CoV-2 future waves.
