It covers the training of health care professionals as well as counseling in wartime. Conclusion: It is a testimony of important work done on different levels of the Ukrainian population as well as among the aid agencies present and the health system to protect and support breastfeeding for infants and mothers' health in a war situation.

Their composition varies widely among women, and prior research has identified numerous factors contributing to this variation. However, the relationship between maternal psychological health and HMO levels is currently unknown. Thus, our objective was to identify whether maternal stress, anxiety, or depressive symptoms are associated with HMOs. Methods: Data originated from 926 lactating individuals from the UC San Diego Human Milk Biorepository. Nineteen prevalent HMOs were assayed using high-performance liquid chromatography. Participants self-reported measures of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (n = 495), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory S-Scale (n = 486), and/or Perceived Stress Scale (n = 493) within 60 days of their milk collection; their results were categorized using standard screening cutoffs. HMOs were assessed individually and grouped by principal component analysis (PCA), and associations with maternal psychological symptoms were analyzed using multivariable linear regression adjusted for covariates. Results: After Bonferroni correction (p < 0.002), the following HMOs significantly varied with maternal psychological distress in multivariate analysis: lacto-N-fucopentaose III (LNFP III) and lacto-N-hexaose (LNH) among Secretors with depressive symptoms and difucosyllactose (DFLac), LNFP III, and disialyl-LNH (DSLNH) among Secretors with stress. In PCA, depressive symptoms and stress were associated with one principal component among Secretors. No HMOs varied with anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: Several HMOs varied with maternal depressive symptoms and stress, suggesting a relationship between maternal psychological health and breast milk composition. Additional studies are needed to determine the impact of this variation on infant health.","PeriodicalId":9142,"journal":{"name":"Breastfeeding Medicine","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed 1,858 pasteurized human samples from 317 mothers at a single center. Infrared transmission spectrophotometry (Miris, Human Milk Analyser [HMA], Uppsala, Sweden) and the creamatocrit method were used to evaluate the quantity of energy and fat in pasteurized HM samples. Results: The average age of donor mothers was 29.7 ± 5.1 years, and the median duration of lactation was 22 days (interquartile range [IQ]: 7.7-59.2). Full-term births were observed in 196 (95.1%) of the women. The values of energy (difference: +8.96 kcal/dL, 95% CI: 8.52-9.44 kcal/dL; p < 0.001) and fat (difference: +0.40 g/dL, 95% CI: 0.35-0.45 g/dL; p < 0.001) in HM samples obtained by Miris were higher than those by the creamatocrit method. The energy calculated and the fat measured by Miris in the HM samples correlated moderately and directly with the obtained by creamatocrit (fat, r = 0.585; p < 0.001 and energy, r = 0.591; p < 0.01). The linear regression, adjusted for maternal age and lactation time, showed that the energy values calculated by creamatocrit were directly associated with those of Miris (energy kcal/dL = 38.43 + [0.516 × kcal/dL of creamatocrit]). Conclusion: The energy and fat quantity of pasteurized HM samples obtained by the creamatocrit and infrared methods were significantly correlated. However, the values calculated by the creamatocrit method were significantly lower than those by the infrared analyzer.","PeriodicalId":9142,"journal":{"name":"Breastfeeding Medicine","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Breastfeeding provides reliable nutrition and protection against infectious diseases, without the need for clean water, feeding implements, electricity, or external supplies. Key Information: Protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding should be an integral part of all emergency preparedness plans. Breastfeeding specialists should be part of plan development. Emergency protocols should include breastfeeding specialists among emergency relief personnel, provide culturally sensitive environments for breastfeeding, and prioritize caregivers of infants in food/water distribution. Emergency relief personnel should be aware that dehydration and missed feedings can impact milk production, but stress alone does not. Emergency support should focus on keeping mothers and infants together and providing private and/or protected spaces for mothers to breastfeed or express milk. Emergency support should also focus on rapidly identifying mothers with breastfeeding difficulties and breastfeeding mothers and infants who are separated, so their needs can be prioritized. Breastfeeding support should be available to all women experiencing difficulties, including those needing reassurance. Nonbreastfed infants should be identified as a priority group requiring support. Relactation, wet-nursing, and donor milk should be considered for nonbreastfed infants. No donations of commercial milk formula (CMF), feeding bottles or teats, or breast pumps should be accepted in emergencies. The distribution of CMF must be highly controlled, provided only when infants cannot be breastfed and accompanied by a comprehensive package of support. Recommendations: Protecting, promoting, and supporting breastfeeding should be included in all emergency preparedness planning and in training of personnel.","PeriodicalId":9142,"journal":{"name":"Breastfeeding Medicine","volume":"25 1","pages":"666-682"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
