Background: Human milk bank plays an essential role by providing human milk to infants who would otherwise not be able to receive human milk. The aims and Objectives is to study the morbidity and mortality outcome  profile of babies fed with PDHM (pasteurized donor human milk) comparing data between Pre Human Milk Breast bank (2015) and Post Human Milk Breast bank (2016, 2017 and 2018).Methods: Milk bank collect, screen, store, process, and distribute human milk. Retrospective observational study was done in Department of Neonatology, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Women and Children Hospital, Chennai. Data obtained retrospectively comparing data Pre HMB (2015) and Post HMB (2016, 2017 and 2018).Results: In this study authors collected the data comparing Pre human milk bank (Pre HMB) and Post human milk bank (Post HMB).  After starting human milk bank, around 1799 babies were benefitted and 14.45 lakh ml milk was collected from 16000 donor mothers in last 3 years. Bacterial contamination rate of PDHM has reduced to 4.39% (2018) compared to 7.73% (2016) with P Value 0.0042 (statistically significant). CONS and Staphylococcus aureus were the most common Organisms isolated. There was reduction in morbidity profile like sepsis rate, NEC/ Feed intolerance and ROP profile. Mortality profile also reduced to (7.73-9.31%). Duration of hospital and Duration to attain full feeds were improved all GA group babies.Conclusions: In this study, after starting human milk bank there was reduction in mortality, morbidity outcome, sepsis. Duration to attain full feeds  and duration of hospital stay reduced. We concluded that establishment of breast milk bank will be more useful and beneficial for all GA group babies for better outcome.

RESUMOObjetivo: conhecer a taxa de adesão ao aleitamento materno exclusivo e as dificuldades que levam ao desmame precoce. Método: estudo quantitativo, observacional, com delineamento de correlação, envolvendo 102 mães de recém-nascidos internados no alojamento conjunto do SUS e convênio, no período de junho a julho de 2017. Os dados foram produzidos pelo monitoramento do aleitamento materno por 180 dias em três etapas distintas (30º; 90º e 180º dia) por meio de entrevistas com perguntas formalizadas pelo checklist efetuado por contato telefônico. Em seguida, os dados foram transcritos na íntegra e analisados por estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: a taxa de adesão ao aleitamento materno nos seis primeiros meses de vida foi de 23,53%, considerada razoável segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). As dificuldades mais apontadas foram leite insuficiente (32,93%) e introdução da suplementação (24,39%). Conclusão: a taxa de adesão ao aleitamento materno encontrada, classificada como “razoável” pela OMS, ainda está abaixo do preconizado. As principais dificuldades referidas pelas mães ao amamentar fornecem informações para que a equipe de saúde promova ações de promoção e incentivo à prática do aleitamento materno.

Method: a quantitative, observational study with a correlation design involving 102 mothers of newborns hospitalized in the joint accommodation of the UHS and the agreement, from June to July 2017. Data was produced by monitoring breastfeeding for 180 days in three distinct stages (30º, 90º and 180º day) through interviews with questions formalized by the checklist made by telephone contact. The data was then transcribed in full and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: the rate of adherence to breastfeeding in the first six months of life was 23.53%, considered reasonable according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The most frequent difficulties were insufficient milk (32.93%) and introduction of supplementation (24.39%). Conclusion: the rate of adherence to breastfeeding found, classified as "reasonable" by the WHO, is still lower than recommended. The main difficulties reported by breastfeeding mothers provide information for the health team to promote breastfeeding promotion and encouragement.

Breast-feeding is the best method of feeding infants. In some cases, formula milk can be a suitable alternative, so this study aimed to compare the safety and nutritional adequacy of commonly available formula milks in the Iraqi market. An observational study for the commonly available formula milks was conducted in the largest supermarkets of Baghdad, Iraq, during January-March 2015. The macronutrient and micronutrient contents as presented in the label of each type of formula milk was compared with the standard requirement of formula milk according to the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) guidelines. Dielac formula milk is the commonest formula milk in the Iraqi market, with the lowest price when compared with other formula milks. All infant formula milks (Similac, Guigoz, and S-26 Gold) except Dielac have the mandatory contents within the specified ranges, according to the ESPGHAN guidelines. Dielac lacks more than 1 of the major mandatory contents besides lacking all optional contents in its formula. Guigoz formula milk lacks the optional ingredients arachidonic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and nucleotides. Similac milk was supplemented with a higher-than-specified level of nucleotides, and its l-carnitine contents were not declared. Only S26 Gold formula milk contained all mandatory and optional ingredients within the specified range, according to the ESPGHAN guidelines. In conclusion, no formula milk can resemble breast milk; however, S26 Gold formula milk is the most acceptable formula, and Dielac formula milk is the worst. Therefore, it is recommended that Dielac be withdrawn from the Iraqi market.

Feeding Behaviours

BACKGROUND The complementary feeding period is a time of unparalleled dietary change for every human, during which the diet changes from one that is 100% milk to a diet that resembles that of the wider family, in less than a year. Despite this major dietary shift, we know relatively little about food and nutrient intake in infants worldwide, and virtually nothing about the impact of baby food ‘pouches’ and ‘Baby-Led Weaning’ (BLW); infant feeding approaches that are becoming increasingly popular. Pouches are squeezable containers with a plastic spout that have great appeal for parents, as evidenced by their extraordinary market share worldwide. Baby-Led Weaning is an alternative approach to introducing solids that promotes the infant self-feeding whole foods rather than being fed purées, and is popular and widely advocated on social media. The nutritional and health impacts of these novel methods of infant feeding have not yet been determined. OBJECTIVE The aim of the First Foods New Zealand study is to determine the iron status, growth, food and nutrient intakes, breast milk intake, eating and feeding behaviours, dental health, oral motor skills, and choking risk, of New Zealand infants in general, and of those using pouches or BLW compared to those who are not. METHODS Dietary intake (two 24-hour recalls supplemented with food photographs), iron status (haemoglobin, plasma ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor), weight status (body mass index), food pouch use and extent of BLW (questionnaire), breast milk intake (deuterium oxide ‘dose-to-mother’ technique), eating and feeding behaviours (questionnaires and video recording of an evening meal), dental health (photographs of upper and lower teeth for counting of caries and developmental defects of enamel), oral motor skills (questionnaires), and choking risk (questionnaire) will be assessed in 625 infants aged 7.0-9.9 months. Propensity score matching will be used to address bias caused by differences in demographics between groups so that the results more closely represent a potential causal effect. RESULTS This observational study has full ethical approval from the Health and Disability Ethics Committees New Zealand (19/STH/151) and was funded in May 2019 by the Health Research Council (HRC) of New Zealand (grant 19/172). Data collection commenced in July 2020 and first results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2022. CONCLUSIONS This large study will provide much needed data on the implications for nutritional intake and health of the use of baby food pouches, and BLW, in infancy.
