PIJAT LAKTASI UNTUK MELANCARKAN ASI PADA IBU POST PARTUM

The care provided by midwives throughout the life cycle, including pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and family planning, is known as comprehensive midwifery. Midwives provide this care to their patients to carry out their duties as midwives. Lactation massage targets several areas, including the breasts, back, shoulders, and neck. The basic idea behind lactation massage is to induce a state of relaxation in the mother, which in turn increases breast milk production by the hormone oxytocin. Since most women do not produce enough breast milk after giving birth, lactation massage aims to stimulate breast milk production. This is due to the fact that a woman's energy levels will be very different after giving birth compared to when she was pregnant, when her milk supply was more stable and the breastfeeding mother felt calmer. This research uses case study methodology, which is a type of descriptive research. By utilizing trackers. There will be a decrease in calcium levels in breast milk when a postpartum mother uses lactation massage to stimulate breast milk production for thirty minutes, twice a day. After giving new mothers a 30-minute lactation massage, researchers found that their breast milk production increased. In short: Women who have recently given birth can benefit from lactation massage by increasing the amount of breast milk they produce.

The Nutritional Status of Breastfeeding Mothers and Breastfeeding Adequacy in Indonesia: A Systematic Review

Background: One of the basic capitals for the formation of quality human beings is the consump­tion of breast milk. The amount of breast milk produced is highly dependent on the mother's diet. This study aimed to identify the relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers and breast milk adequacy in Indonesia. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review using PICO model to formulate the research question. Population= breastfeeding mothers. Intervention= adequate BMI and MUAC. Comparation= poor BMI and MUAC. Outcome= breast milk adequacy. The database used is Google Scholar with keywords “Anthropometry” OR “BMI” OR “Breastfeeding mothers” OR “breast milk adequacy” OR “Indonesia”. There were 10 cross-sectional studies and 2 cohort studies published in 2011-2023 that met the inclusion criteria. Results: There is mostly a relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers as measured by BMI and MUAC with the adequacy of breast milk. Conclusion: The adequacy of breast milk can be influenced by the nutritional status of the mother while breastfeeding. The nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers is no less important than the nutritional status of pregnant women so that risks such as stunting do not occur.

The Effect of Video Calls Held Between Preterm Babies Hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Their Mothers on the Amount of Breast Milk: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of video calls held between preterm babies hospitalized in NICU and their mothers on the amount of breast milk. Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial. This study was conducted in the NICU of Balıkesir Atatürk City Hospital between 15 April-01 October 2022. One hundred preterm infants and their mothers, 50 in video call and 50 in control groups, were included. Online video calls between the preterm infants and their mothers were held by using Zoom application as 10 minutes on every day of the week. The breast milk follow-up form was sent to the mothers over WhatsApp application and the mothers sent the form back to the researcher at the 7th day. As per the standard hospital protocol, mother who control group can visit their infants in NICU face-to-face two days a week and get information about their infants. Results: No statistically significant difference was determined between the video call group and the control group in terms of 7-day breastmilk amount; however, the breast milk of the mothers in the video call group increased more on the 7th day compared to the control group (p<.001). Conclusions: It was found that the amount of breast milk increased more in the mothers in the experimental group at the end of day 7 compared to the control group mothers. Preterm delivery is among the factors that lead to inadequate breast milk expression. NICU nurses can make use of virtual patient visit technology in order to increase the amount of breast milk in mothers.

The relationship between mothers' body composition and anthropometric characteristics of baby and breast milk nutrient content: A cross-sectional study.

The composition and amount of breast milk is affected by factors such as the duration and frequency of breastfeeding, the time between two breastfeeding sessions, the effectiveness of breastfeeding, breastfeeding technique, genetic characteristics of the mother and diet. Breast milk macronutrients are provided by milk synthesized in lactocytes, mother's diet and maternal stores. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the body composition of mothers and the anthropometric characteristics of the baby and the nutritional content of breast milk. The descriptive study was conducted between March and November 2023 in a hospital in a low socioeconomic neighbourhood in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 96 mothers and ibabies. Anthropometric measurements of mothers and babies and the nutrient content of breast milk were evaluated on the first postpartum day, Days 5 and 15. Breast milk macronutrient content was analyzed by Miris milk analyzer and body composition of mothers was analyzed by TANITA BC 730. From the weight and body composition of the mothers in the study group; a positive correlation was found between body fat, muscle and water ratio, and breast milk carnonhydrate and protein (p < 0.05). There was no correlation between the gestational age of the baby and the content of breast milk (p > 0.05). A positive correlation was found between the weight and height of the babies and the macronutrients of breast milk (p < 0.05). As the weight of mothers increases, breast milk protein and carbohydrate levels increase. As breast milk macronutrients increase, babies' weight and height increase.

The Added Effect of Music-Assisted Kangaroo Care Applied to Mothers with Premature Babies in the Intensive Care Unit on the Amount of Breast Milk, the Initiation Time of Breastfeeding, and Anxiety Level.

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of music-assisted kangaroo care, applied to mothers with premature babies in the intensive care unit on the amount of breast milk, the initiation time of breastfeeding, and the level of anxiety. Methods: The study was carried out with mothers whose premature babies were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. The sample size of the study was 99 mothers. Results: 85.5% of the mothers were aged >35 years, 30.1% were high school graduates, 38.6% had equal income and expenses and 77.1% had a cesarean section. The state and trait anxiety levels of the mothers in the music assisted kangaroo care (MAKC), kangaroo care (KC), and control (C) groups decreased after the first day according to the follow-up times. The trait anxiety levels of the mothers in the MAKC group experienced on the first and sixth days were lower than those of the mothers in the KC and C groups, with the statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). It was found that the mothers in the MAKC group started breastfeeding earlier than those in the KC and C groups, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: A significant difference was found between the MAKC and KC groups and the control group in terms of an increase in the amount of milk, a decrease in trait anxiety levels, and early initiation of breastfeeding (p < 0.05).

Pelaksanaan Hypnobreastfeeding sebagai Upaya Menurunkan Tingkat Kecemasan Ibu Menyusui

Breastfeeding problems are not only related to the amount of breast milk produced. Psychological factors play an important role in the breastfeeding process. Breastfeeding mothers often experience anxiety due to a lack of knowledge about caring for themselves and their babies (Walyani, 2015). The Indonesian Ministry of Health report (2016) stated that 83.4% of breastfeeding mothers experienced severe anxiety and 16.6% of moderate anxiety, while multiparous mothers experienced 7% of severe anxiety, 71.5% of moderate anxiety and 21.5% mild anxiety. .5%. The aim of the activity is to provide relaxation with hypnobreastfeeding therapy so that it can reduce anxiety in breastfeeding mothers. Method: activities are carried out by providing motivation and positive affirmation sentences through hypnobreastfeeding, music therapy and aromatherapy. Anxiety assessment uses the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS 42) anxiety scale questionnaire. Results: The average anxiety score of breastfeeding mothers before hypnobreastfeeding was 40.2 or included in the severe stress category and the average anxiety level after hypnobreastfeeding was 28.9 or included in the mild stress category. These results indicate a reduction in stress levels in breastfeeding mothers by 11.3. It is hoped that breastfeeding mothers will maintain their psychological and physical health during the breastfeeding process.

Pelatihan hypnobreasfeeding pada tenaga kesehatan untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI pada ibu menyusui

Breast milk is the best food for babies because it contains nutrients that best suit the needs of babies in the accelerated stage of growth and development, especially in the first 2 years. The service activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of Health Workers, especially Midwives, in implementing hypnobreasfeeding for breastfeeding mothers in their work area. The hope is that the amount of breast milk will increase from the application of hypnobreasfeeding by midwives to mothers who breastfeed exclusively. The approach to community service activities uses socialization methods and hypnobreastfeeding training for 20 health workers, especially midwives. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in the knowledge of Health workers. In the pretest, the officers' knowledge was in the sufficient category of 80 percent and 20 percent good, while in the posttest, it was in the good category of 100 percent. Based on these results, Hypnobreastfeeding training can effectively increase breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers. These results imply that health service providers can utilize the hypnosis techniques learned in training to provide more effective assistance to breastfeeding mothers.

The Impact Of Oxytocin Massage On Breast Milk Production In Post Partum Mother In The Clinic Hj. Dermawati Medan

As of 2018, just 44% of babies worldwide were breastfed within an hour of their delivery, based on the World Healthcare Organization (WHO). By the time they are six months old, under forty percent of children worldwide are exclusively breastfed. The purpose of this study is to find out how oxytocin massage impacts postpartum moms' ability to produce breast milk at the Hj Clinic. Dermawati Medan. This investigation applies an experimental approach without a control group, using a single group pretest and posttest. All postpartum women who visited the clinic between the third and seventh days were used as the study population. Dermawati. Five people were used in the purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out by a paired t test, namely comparing the data from the pre-test (before therapy) with the post-test (after treatment). It emerged that the routine findings from the test were crucial. The Shapiro-Wilk test results for before and after the oxytocin treatment demonstrated that the distribution of the data was normal (p value = 0.119 &gt; 0.05) and that the allocation was taken out (p value = 0.006 &gt; 0.05). if so, it can be said that the data is distributed normally.At the Hj Dermawati Clinic, a p value (0.00 &lt; 0.05) was achieved for the Paired Sample T Test results using the mother's milk volume variable both prior to and following the oxytocin massage test. The results of this research illustrate how postpartum mothers at the Hj Dermawati Clinic produce greater amounts of breast milk as an effect of oxytocin massage. It is recommended that mothers and families take oxytocin therapy education so they can carry out the therapy themselves at home at least once a week

Factors related to breastfeeding length among Filipino migrant women in South Korea

Breastfeeding is vital to infants’ health and development during their first year. The quality and quantity of breastmilk are closely linked to the mother’s nutrition [1]. However, for migrant women who become new mothers, various social, economic, and family factors can pose challenges that negatively affect their dietary and breastfeeding practices. Due to the limited research evidence, this study aimed to investigate the factors associated with breastfeeding duration in migrant women. The study sample was drawn from the Filipino Women’s Diet and Health Study (FiLWHEL). These women migrated to South Korea through marriage. At baseline (2014-2016), 504 women provided survey data, including demographic characteristics such as age, marital status, education, employment, income, and language proficiency. Anthropometric measures such as body mass index (BMI) and lifestyle factors were also recorded. Dietary intake of each food group was assessed using 24-hour recalls. We derived the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) from the ten food groups [2]. Breastfeeding (any) duration was defined as the average length in months per child. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations between participants’ characteristics and breastfeeding duration, with a cut-off of 12 months (&lt;12 months; &gt; = 12 months). Linear regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between each of these factors and breastfeeding duration in months. Out of the initial 504 women, 271 met the eligibility criteria, with the median age of 35 [interquartile range (IQR): 30,40] years, median breastfeeding duration of 4 [IQR: 1, 10] months, mean BMI of 23.8kg/m2, median (IQR) o fruits, vegetables, and legumes of 162.2 [76.9, 265.9] grams/day, and median of MDD-W score of 5 [IQR:4, 6]. Over 50% of the sample held a university degree or higher, but only 47.8% were employed. Most women were married (90%) and earned less than 20 million won (~AU$23,114.58) per year (65%). Over half had a good understanding of the Korean language. The cross-sectional regression analysis found no associations for breastfeeding length, except for the total fruit, vegetable, and legume intake. Women in the highest tertile of this consumption had a two-fold likelihood of breastfeeding for 12 months or longer [adj.OR (95% CI): 2.15 (0.99-4.68)]. While the MDD-W score had a positive association with breastfeeding for at least 12 months, it did not reach statistical significance [adj.OR: 1.11 (0.92-1.34)]. In the linear regression analysis, only vegetable consumption (per gram increase) was positively related to the length of breastfeeding (beta-coefficient: 0.016; SE: 0.006; p = 0.01). This study among Filipino migrant women in Korea suggests that higher consumption of fruit, vegetables, and legumes positively linked to breastfeeding for at least 12 months. Given the study’s small sample size, interpreting these results should be cautious and warrants further validation in other studies.

Enhancement of Sensory Quality, Nutritional and Health Benefits of Complementary Baby Food through 2–6μm mid-Infrared Irradiation

Complementary foods are provided to infants when the amount of breast milk produced by the mother is insufficient. Numerous baby foods are available in the market worldwide but their quality is questionable. Therefore, we used our recently invented 2–6μm mid-infrared generating atomizer (MIRGA) on various brands of complementary baby foods to safely enhance their quality in terms of nutrition and sensory attributes. The effects of mid-IR irradiation on baby food included compound transformation, changes in the protein concentration, changes in the chemical bond, and changes in the nanoparticle morphology. The matrix structure and sensory attributes and other benefits were analyzed and validated with various tests and are presented here.

Growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal microbial diversity and volatile fatty acid, and blood biochemical indices of suckling donkeys fed diets supplemented with multienzymes

BackgroundAs the foal grows, the amount of breast milk produced by the donkey decreases. In such cases, early supplemental feeding is particularly important to meet the growth needs of the foal. Foals have an incompletely developed gastrointestinal tract with a homogenous microbiota and produce insufficient amounts of digestive enzymes, which limit their ability to digest and utilize forage. Improving the utilization of early supplemental feeds, promoting gastrointestinal tract development, and enriching microbial diversity are the hotspots of rapid growth research in dairy foals. Plant-based feeds usually contain non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), including cellulose, xylan, mannan, and glucan, which hinder nutrient digestion and absorption. In addition, proteins and starch (both biomolecules) form a composite system mainly through non-covalent interactions. The proteins wrap around the surface of starch granules and act as a physical obstacle, thereby inhibiting water absorption and expansion of starch and decreasing the enzyme's catalytic effect on starch. Glyanase, β-mannanase, β-glucanase, cellulase, protease, and amylase added to cereal diets can alleviate the adverse effects of NSPs. The current study determined the effects of adding multienzymes (glyanase, β-mannanase, β-glucanase, cellulase, protease, and amylase) to the diet of 2-month-old suckling donkeys on their growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, fecal volatile fatty acid (VFA) and pH, fecal bacterial composition, and blood biochemical indices.ResultsOn day 120 of the trial, fecal samples were collected from the rectum of donkeys for determining bacterial diversity, VFA content, and pH. Moreover, fresh fecal samples were collected from each donkey on days 110 and 115 to determine apparent digestibility. The multienzymes supplementations did not affect growth performance and apparent nutrient digestibility in the donkeys; however, they tended to increase total height gain (P = 0.0544). At the end of the study, the multienzymes supplementations increased (P < 0.05) the Observed species, ACE, Chao1, and Shannon indices by 10.56%, 10.47%, 10.49%, and 5.01%, respectively. The multienzymes supplementations also increased (P < 0.05) the abundance of Firmicutes, Oscillospiraceae, Lachnospiraceae, Christensenellaceae, Christensenellaceae_R-7_group, and Streptococcus in feces, whereas decreased (P = 0.0086) the abundance of Proteobacteria.ConclusionsMultienzymes supplementations added to a basal diet for suckling donkeys can increase fecal microbial diversity and abundance.

Nutrition and diet myths, knowledge and practice during pregnancy and lactation among a sample of Egyptian pregnant women: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundGlobally, the burden of maternal malnutrition remains an enormous public health problem; malnourished pregnant women are at increased risk of having low-birth-weight (LBW) infants. Several reports suggest a possible association between malnutrition among lactating mothers and the production of smaller quantities of breast milk. Many women have incorrect nutrition knowledge during pregnancy due to false beliefs derived from popular practices. Our study was conducted to assess nutritional knowledge, myths, and practices among Egyptian women during pregnancy and lactation.MethodologyA pretested 2-page interview questionnaire was used to collect data from the study participants after written informed consent was obtained from them after clarification of the study’s aim. Obstetrics and gynecology experts collected the data from pregnant females who agreed to participate in private and university hospital antenatal care clinics in Cairo, Egypt.ResultsA total of 468 pregnant females completed the interview questionnaire. The mean knowledge score was 5 ± 3, with a median score of 5 and an IQR of 3–7, and the mean holding myths score was 3 ± 2, with a median score of 2 and an IQR of 2–4. Regarding the correct answers to the knowledge questions, more than 70% of the participants correctly answered that during the first six months of life, breast milk is the only food a baby requires, and less than 20% of them correctly answered that caffeine consumption could provoke premature birth. Regarding the holding myths questions, more than half of the participants held the myth that drinking moghat and helba increases the breast milk supply. We found that the most common source of knowledge during pregnancy and lactation among the participants was family and friends’ advice (60%), followed by others (doctors, previous education in school or university) (45%).ConclusionAmong a sample of Egyptian women, more than half held at least one myth about nutrition and diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so health education at antenatal outpatient clinics should be directed toward those myths to correct them. Older women with sufficient family income showed significantly higher knowledge scores than others.

Scientific applicability in day-to-day practice on Granthokta Sutika Paricharya

Being a mother is most challenging and most rewarding position a woman ever holds, so motherhood is wonderful at the same time its hardest phase for woman. Giving birth to a new life is a beautiful moment a women will cherish forever. But after the delivery, mothers body encounters many physical and psychological changes which may lead to the generalized weakness and backache etc., if proper postnatal care is not taken. Mother needs to recover and heal from the physical and emotional distress experienced during the delivery. So, proper care in postnatal period is essential. Ayurveda classics emphasize on both prenatal and postnatal care of the mother. There is detailed description of postnatal period and care known as Sutika Kala and Paricharaya respectively. After the childbirth when placenta is expelled out then women is termed as Sutika[1] and Paricharya means following the diet, regimen and medicines (Aahara, Vihara and Aushadha) during the Sutika Kala (postnatal period). According to Acharyas, Mithyaachrana during Sutika Kala may result in incurable disease, so extreme care must be taken during this period.[2] The main prospective of the Sutika Paricharya is to retrieve the strength and vitality of the mother’s body same as non-pregnant state along with stabilization of the physiological and psychological health. It also improves the quality and quantity of breast milk of mother. In present time due to changing lifestyles and food habits Sutika Paricharya can be a solution to many problems faced due to Mithyaachrana during the Sutika Kala.

International Guidelines, which are based on scientific data about the advantages of breast milk for infants, moms, families, and nations, advise exclusive breastfeeding for six months. The sensation of having inadequate or too little breast milk, breast swelling, flat or painful nipples, clogged breast milk ducts, and mastitis are issues that nursing moms often face. Breast care and lactation massage are two of the numerous strategies that may be used to boost breast milk supply. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how lactation massage and breast care vary in their ability to support successful breastfeeding in PMB Pekanbaru City. The study design used was two group independent approach design, and the research methodology was quasi experimental (quasi experimental). Mothers who had given birth within two hours and were nursing in the Pekanbaru Midwife Independent Practice Work Area made up the study population. The present study used the independent T test for analysis in order to ascertain the impact of lactation massage and breast care on postpartum moms' success in breastfeeding. The average amount of breast milk provided to moms who undergo lactation massage is 5.47 months, with a standard deviation of 0.837, according to the findings of statistical data processing using the Independent Samples Test. Breastfeeding moms give birth to their children for 4.6 months on average, with a standard deviation of 1,352. Breast milk is delivered to women who do breast care

Is oral consumption of dates (Phoenix dactylifera L. fruit) in the peripartum period effective and safe integrative care to facilitate childbirth and improve perinatal outcomes: a comprehensive revised systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

BackgroundRecent reviews have reported inconclusive results regarding the usefulness of consuming dates (Phoenix dactylifera L. fruit) in the peripartum period. Hence, this updated systematic review with meta-analysis sought to investigate the efficacy and safety of this integrated intervention in facilitating childbirth and improving perinatal outcomes.MethodsEight data sources were searched comprehensively from their inception until April 30, 2023. Parallel-group randomized and non-randomized controlled trials published in any language were included if conducted during peripartum (i.e., third trimester of pregnancy, late pregnancy, labor, or postpartum) to assess standard care plus oral consumption of dates versus standard care alone or combined with other alternative interventions. The Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias (RoB) assessment tools and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) were employed to evaluate the potential RoB and the overall quality of the evidence, respectively. Sufficient data were pooled by a random-effect approach utilizing Stata software.ResultsOf 2,460 records in the initial search, 48 studies reported in 55 publications were included. Data were insufficient for meta-analysis regarding fetal, neonatal, or infant outcomes; nonetheless, most outcomes were not substantially different between dates consumer and standard care groups. However, meta-analyses revealed that dates consumption in late pregnancy significantly shortened the length of gestation and labor, except for the second labor stage; declined the need for labor induction; accelerated spontaneity of delivery; raised cervical dilatation (CD) upon admission, Bishop score, and frequency of spontaneous vaginal delivery. The dates intake in labor also significantly reduced labor duration, except for the third labor stage, and increased CD two hours post-intervention. Moreover, the intervention during postpartum significantly boosted the breast milk quantity and reduced post-delivery hemorrhage. Likewise, dates supplementation in the third trimester of pregnancy significantly increased maternal hemoglobin levels. The overall evidence quality was also unacceptable, and RoB was high in most studies. Furthermore, the intervention’s safety was recorded only in four trials.ConclusionMore well-designed investigations are required to robustly support consuming dates during peripartum as effective and safe integrated care.Trial registrationPROSPERO Registration No: CRD42023399626

Combination of Woolwich massage and hydrogel made from red ginger for breastfeeding mothers to increase baby weight

Background: The amount of breast milk that nursing moms make is still insufficient, affecting the infant's weight. One attempt to increase the baby's weight is administering a combination of Woolwich massage and red ginger hydrogel, which has never been done in prior studies.Purpose: To demonstrate the impact of a Woolwich massage and red ginger hydrogel on infant weight.Method: This experimental study with a pre-post-test control group design.
