Sodium content was analysed from 360 breast milk samples of 45 mothers who delivered at term and from 206 samples of 22 mothers who delivered preterm in the first 4 weeks postpartum. The sodium content was consistently higher in the milk from mothers of preterm infants. In both groups, the sodium content of the breast milk decreased rapidly for the first 3 days, and then more slowly. After the ...

OBJECTIVES To assess potential infant exposure to bupropion and its active metabolites in breast milk such as would occur during treatment to prevent post-partum relapse to tobacco use, and to compare the concentrations of bupropion in urine and saliva with plasma and breast milk. DESIGN AND SETTING Cohort study, outpatient clinical research centre. SUBJECTS Ten healthy post-partum voluntee...

BACKGROUND There is seemingly consistent and compelling evidence that there is no association between breastfeeding and breast cancer. An assumption follows that milk borne viruses cannot be associated with human breast cancer. We challenge this evidence because past breastfeeding studies did not determine "exposure" of newborn infants to colostrum and breast milk. METHODS We conducted a pros...

Breast milk is the recommended nutrition for infants. For preterm infants, when mother's milk is not available, pasteurized donor milk is recommended (1). Non-Hispanic black mothers are at increased risk for having a preterm birth and for not breastfeeding (2,3); however, it is not known whether demographic disparities exist in the use of breast milk in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Da...

OBJECTIVE To determine vitamin A (retinol) and fat concentrations in breast milk during early lactation. METHODS Healthy lactating women (n 88) aged between 18 and 35 years were randomly selected for the study from urban, semi-urban, rural and estate (plantation) sectors of Galle District. Their anthropometry was recorded; breast milk samples were collected from the right breast one hour afte...

Background Peanut allergy is known to be one of the most severe food allergies. The aim of our breast milk study was to investigate the transfer of the most potent peanut allergen Ara h 2 into human breast milk in a German cohort. Therefore, the time courses of appearance after ingestion, the potential risk of sensitization to peanuts via breast milk in Germany and, if possible, the way Ara h 2...

The iron content of breast milk is often characterized as low. In fact, the amount of iron provided by breast milk appears to be adequate to prevent iron deficiency anemia for at least the first 6 months of life. However, if the same amount of iron is given in any food other than breast milk, this amount is inadequate and iron deficiency anemia does occur. Thus, iron in breast milk seems to be ...

Diagnostic ultrasound imaging of the breast has been limited principally to the abnormal, non-lactating breast. Due to the rapid improvement of imaging technology, high-resolution ultrasound images can now be obtained of the lactating breast. Ultrasound scanning techniques, however, require modifications to accommodate the breast changes that occur in lactation. Furthermore, the function of the...

BACKGROUND Human milk contains immune molecules involved in the protection of newborns against infections. We analyzed the concentration of Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 (DMBT1), a protein with functions in innate immunity, in breast milk. METHODS DMBT1 was detected in breast milk by Western blotting and its concentration was quantified by ELISA in 95 breast milk samples collected from ...
