RELATIONSHIP OF ADDITIONAL NUTRITIONAL CONSUMPTION OF GREEN BEANS (VIGNA RADIATA) WITH BREAST MILK PRODUCTION.

Background: The protein needed by breastfeeding mothers can be supplied from nuts, including green beans. Green beans contain active compounds, namely polyphenols and flavonoids which function to increase the hormone prolactin. When the prolactin hormone increases, milk secretion will be maximized so that the quantity of breast milk will increase and the nutritional content contained in green beans will increase the nutritional content in breast milk (Suskesty, 2017)Purpose of the study: to determine the relationship between the frequency of breastfeeding and the provision of additional nutritional consumption of vigna radiate with milk production in post-partum mothers on the 15th day in Klaten district.Methods: This type of research is pre-experimental design with post test only design with control group design. The population in this study were all mothers who had babies aged 1-3 months and resided in the working area of Puskesmas Klaten from January to September 2020. This study is a mother who has a baby aged 1 - 3 months and breastfeeding exclusively in the working area of Puskesmas Klaten with a sample size of 40 respondents consisting of 20 respondents in the treatment group (consumption of green beans) and 20 respondents in the control group (not consuming green beans). . The data analysis technique is the Spearman Correlation and Independent T-Test.Results: There was a correlation between the frequency of breastfeeding and milk production on the 15th day of postpartum mothers with a P value: .000. There is a difference in the average milk production in the 15th day postpartum mothers who are given additional Vigna Radiata (green beans) food and not given Vigna Radiata with P value: .000Conclusion: The frequency and consumption of additional Vigna radiata (green beans) nutrition can increase breast milk production

Effects of Foot Reflexology on Lactation in Postnatal Mothers at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Karad

Introduction: Patients’ mothers who are admitted to the maternity ward, as well as the nurses who work in the maternity department, may have learning needs or nursing care priority needs. On the other hand, the majority of studies have concentrated their attention on the mother’s knowledge in a variety of domains, and the majority of the research has been carried out in hospitals. Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of foot reflexology in promoting lactation in postnatal women. The goals of this study are to determine whether or not foot reflexology stimulates lactation in the experimental group.

The Effect of Maternal Eating Habits and Diet Modulation on Infantile Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Signs and Symptoms: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: According to the instructions of Iranian traditional medicine (ITM), modification of breast milk through nursing mothers, is the first step in the treatment of infant disorders. In fact, maternal lifestyle, especially diet and eating habits, can change the quality and quantity of breast milk. The modern medical literature emphasizes that exclusive breastfeeding is the optimal nutrition for infants with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Objectives: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of maternal eating principles and diet based on ITM on infantile GERD symptoms. Methods: Exclusive-breastfeeding, under 5 - month infants with clinical diagnosis of GERD and their nursing mothers, were selected for this 6-weeks parallel randomized, controlled trial. All participants were randomly assigned to the intervention and the control group. The mothers of infants in the intervention group received ITM-based dietary principles, and feeding-positioning modifications were trained to the mothers of all infants of both groups, because of observation of ethical issues (not deprived of standard treatment). Age-Specific Questionnaire for Infants (GSQ-I) was used to assess the frequency and intensity of the GERD symptoms. Measuring the difference between the mean Composite Symptom Score (CSS) in week 0, 4, and 6, between the intervention group and the control group, was the main outcome of this study. Results: Both the intervention and control groups had statistically significant differences in the mean CSS of week 4 and 6 compared with baseline (P < 0.05). Also, there was a significant reduction of the mean CSS values in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Maternal eating principles and diet based on Iranian Traditional Medicine appears to affect the reduction of infantile GERD signs and symptoms.

The length of time that the cord is removed will allow infection which is the cause of death. WHO recommends treatment based on aseptic principles, but there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine use of topical antimicrobials for treatment. The incidence of tetanus neonatorum due to umbilical cord infection continues to increase and is at risk of causing death. Several studies have shown that breast milk is an alternative material for cord care because it is sterile, contains antiinflammatory and anti-infective properties. This study aims to determine the effect of the topical amount of breast milk on the duration of release. The research design used a quasi-experiment with a cohort approach. The sample in this study was 43 babies who were selected using consecutivesampling. Samples were divided into 3 treatment groups, namely newborns who met the inclusion criteria were given 5 drops, 7 drops, and 10 drops of breast milk to observe the duration of wound healing. Data collection using the observation sheet. The results showed the fastest wound healing time was given 5 drops of breast milk for 164,931 hours (164 hours 56 minutes), 10 drops for 170,173hours (170 hours 10 minutes), and 7 drops for 171,807 hours (171 hours 48 minutes). The results of the analysis using one-way ANOVA showed that the treatment of topical breastfeeding had no significant effect on the length of healing of cord wounds (F-count 0.393 with p-value 0.678). Topical breastfeeding responds differently to the healing of the baby's cord wound. Keywords: breast milk, length of umbilical cord release

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF SUTIKA PARICHARYA AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN MODERN ERA IN SAFE MOTHERHOOD

Mortality and morbidity of mother are most challenging problems of our country. In our day to day life, we see many mothers complaining of increase in their physical problems like back-ache, anemia, joint pains and many other infections after puerperium. Frequent post-partum morbidity and its association with adverse perinatal outcome suggest the need for post-partum care in developing countries for both mother and baby. Lady after delivery of placenta is called as Sutika (puerperal woman). Sutikakala (duration of puerperium) is the period following childbirth during which all body tissues revert back approximately to a pre-pregnant state. Duration of this period varies according to different Ayurvedic classics. It is well known that certain psycho-somatic changes take place during Sutikakala such as loss of weight, loss of body fluid, lacerated genital tract, constipation, mental stress etc. Most of these changes lead to ati-aptarparpana (emaciation) of mother during Sutikakala. This status causes Vata-vriddhi which is responsible for different types of health problems such as puerperal sepsis, Stanyadushti (vitiated breast milk), anaemia, prolapse of uterus etc. According to Kashyapa Samhita, treatment of Sutika is as difficult as cleaning of unclean, tattered and old cloth. In olden days, ladies used to follow strict guidelines during early postpartum days i.e. in Sutikakala, which helped them for early recovery from stress and strain caused during delivery. It also improves the quality and quantity of breast milk and it also avoids various neonatal infections. Mothers who breast feed their babies are at low risk for breast cancer. In modern era due to changing lifestyle and Mithya aahaar-vihaar (abnormal dietetics and mode of Life), pregnant lady is usually prone to Vataprakopa. Many modern Sutika feel ancient guidelines during early puerperal days as age old and time consuming to follow. Hence, guided Sutika paricharya with logical use of classical referenced medicine would be the proper solution to avoid psycho-somatic disorders in order to promote early recovery of mother.

CARROT JUICE FOR POST PARTUM MOTHER: AN INTRODUCTION TO VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION

The amount of breast milk is likely to affect the success of breastfeeding. Therefore, a study concerning the method to increase the milk volume is always encouraged, one of which is a method using carrot juice as the intervention to introduce the consumption of vegetables among nursing mothers. This was a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach. The four respondents that did not like vegetables and had little production of breast milk were found when the preliminary survey was conducted and they agreed to be involved as respondent by giving some answers questioned. The results showed that they did not like to consume vegetables because they did not use to consume them since young. Despite the fact that they knew the benefits of vegetables to health, they said that they did not know vegetables were good for the production of breast milk. However, they could consume the carrot juice as the initiation of vegetable consumption.

Early Initiation of Breastfeeding can prevent infant mortality, especially in developing countries. IMD practices can prevent 22% of newborn mortality. One of the reasons mothers do not give IMD is the absence of breast milk and the amount of breast milk that is considered lacking, so the mother gives formula milk. Mothers don't take care of joining because they don't breathe spontaneously and hypothermia. The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of early breastfeeding initiation and care to join with the production of breast milk at post partum at the Anutapura General Hospital in Palu. The method is analytic with a cross sectional approach. The population and samples in this study were post partum at Anutapura Palu Hospital at the time of the study, which amounted to 96 people, with a purposive sampling technique. The analysis used in this study used fisher exact statistical tests. The results showed that of 96 IMD respondents as many as 75 respondents (78.1%), and not IMD as many as 21 respondents (21.9). Mothers who did join care were 76 respondents (79.2%), and mothers who did not take care of as many as 20 respondents (20.8). "Fisher's exact test" test results p value: 0,000 (p value ≤ 0.05). Adequate ASI production was 77 respondents (80.2%), and inadequate ASI production was 19 respondents (19.8). Fisher's exact test results p value: 0,000 (p value ≤ 0,05). The conclusion is that there is a relationship between early breastfeeding initiation and admission to joining breast milk production at post partum. Suggestions are expected for midwives at Anutapura Hospital in Palu City to further improve counseling about the importance of Early Breastfeeding Initiation and the importance of nursing care for mothers and babies.

OXYTOCIN DOSE ANALYSIS OF BREASTMILK PRODUCTION THROUGH INDUCTION LABOR

Breast milk is the only first food that can be consumed by newborns until the age reaches six months. therefore it is very important to know by the mother who is pregnant and will give birth about the importance of breast milk. Oxytocin drugs have similar functions to the natural hormone oxytocin produced by the body. This drug serves to trigger or strengthen the contraction of the uterine muscle. Therefore, oxytocin can be used to stimulate (induce) labor and stop bleeding after childbirth. In addition, this drug can also help stimulate the release of breast milk in breastfeeding mothers. Oxytocin should be avoided by pregnant women who can not give birth normally, for example because it has a narrow pelvis, suffering from placenta previa, or having a too strong uterine contractions. Oxytocin is also prohibited for pregnant women with cephalopelvic disproportion, impaired fetal conditions, uterine damage, or a history of caesarean section. In this study we see whether there is effect of different doses of oxytocin on the quantity of breastmilk produced. oxytocin doses were administered with 3 doses of 5 UI, 10 UI and 15 UI. the dose of oxytocin is administered once per incidence of labor. maternal results obtained by oxytocin induction of 5 UI and 10 UI obtained breastmilk averaging 10 ml in the first 24 hours after delivery. and a mother with oxytocin induction 15 UI received an average breastmilk of 10 ml at 24 hours after delivery.
