{"title":"The Experience of Human Milk Donation-A Review","authors":"P. A. Quitadamo","doi":"10.19080/AJPN.2020.08.555804","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.19080/AJPN.2020.08.555804","url":null,"abstract":"The provision of donor human milk is recommended by the World Health Organization as the best option when a mother’s own milk is unavailable, because can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality among vulnerable infants. For preterm babies, human milk banks (HMBs) offer a lifesaving alternative to ensure timely access to human milk. Why does a mother donate her own milk? This is a question that some authors have asked themselves because from the motivation of a spontaneous gesture can start the understanding and activation of the mechanisms necessary to improve donation promotion strategies. This is the objective, for example, of a descriptive study [1] which aims to identify reasons, beliefs and feelings related to the donation based on the reports of women donors. The most frequent response from HMBANA donor mothers (Human Milk Association of North America) lies in altruistic reasons [2]. In a study conducted in Brazil [3], the leader country with the largest network of milk banks in the world, the most common reasons behind milk donation are the encouragement from health personnel with more than 60% of the 737 women interviewed, followed by the needs of children receiving milk from the bank with 25.3%. Therefore, the staff plays a fundamental role in motivating mothers to donate milk. This is probably the result of the fact that the recruitment of new donors, the increase in the volume and frequency of donations has become a priority in many Brazilian milk banks. For this, a prenatal care is carried out which, in addition to regular promotion and information on breastfeeding, combines regular preparation on the donation of the surplus milk as indicated by the World Health Organization and United Nations Children’s Fund. On the contrary, in a Turkish study [4] that aims to assess the knowledge and point of view of mothers with respect to milk banks, through a questionnaire addressed to 440 mothers, 41% had been informed of this reality through the media for about 90%, while a minimum share received this information from healthcare professionals. It is emphasized that the media is the main source of breastfeeding promotion and that in recent decades media interest in milk sharing has grown considerably. The important fact of the work regarding the mothers’ point of view is that 70% showed to be in favor of the bank and of the possibility to donate. A similar perception is reported by a group of Australian mothers of a small pilot study [5] that wants to explore their knowledge and attitudes regarding breast milk donation and banking, in a land that is surprisingly far behind the rest of the world on this aspect: in the South of the country there are no milk banks. The women interviewed showed to be highly sensitive to the topic and available to the possibility of donating, indicating as a real need the fact to activate a promotion that should start from health professionals who represent the first and most authoritative source of information","PeriodicalId":93160,"journal":{"name":"Academic journal of pediatric and neonatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46072195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this issue often fails to be properly recognized, and promptly identifying maltreatment remains a challenge. In our study, we observe the clinical factors associated with child maltreatment at a tertiary care children’s hospital. Methods: We recruited 60 patients from January 2011 to May 2017 who were suspected victims of child abuse or neglect and were admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Patient characteristics, including age, gender, chronic comorbid conditions, immunization schedules, severity of disease, and length of PICU stay, and one-year outcome were recorded and analyzed. Results: Of the 60 patients enrolled in this study, the median age when the suspected maltreatment event occurred was 9 months old. Our study revealed a higher incidence of underlying disease, new onset seizures, and missed vaccinations in the abused group. The length of hospital stay is 17.5 days and 5 days in the abused group and the neglected group, respectively (P<0.001). The abused group tend to have poor one-year outcome significantly Conclusion: Abusive events not only result in harm to children but also because longer hospital stays that become financial burdens in health care. By better understanding the importance of early intervention against abuse, we can take action to save these children and prevent tragedies","PeriodicalId":93160,"journal":{"name":"Academic journal of pediatric and neonatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45677384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Etiology constitutes multitude of benign and malignant causes. Here we present a case of term neonate born to a primigravida mother by vaginal delivery with mother complaining of altered breast milk color on first couple of days of lactation. Mother was apprehensive to feed her milk to the baby. Local breast examination of mother was normal and breast ultrasound did not reveal any benign or malignant lesions. Breast feeding was continued after proper counselling of mother and the family members about the benign nature of her breast discharge. Mother’s milk production increased by day 2 and 3 and altered color of breast milk decreased gradually and cleared completely by day 4. After ruling out other benign and malignant causes, Rusty pipe syndrome was kept as the diagnosis. Rusty pipe syndrome is a common but under reported benign condition causing bloody or rusty colored breast discharge in Primi lactating mothers in the initial few days after delivery. Careful local breast examination and ultrasound imaging is required to rule out other causes; if the bloody discharge persists for more than a week, further investigation is warranted. A good lactational counselling and continued breastfeeding is required to alleviate the anxiety in the lactating mothers.","PeriodicalId":93160,"journal":{"name":"Academic journal of pediatric and neonatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49140493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specific impairments of mentalizing in both developmental and acquired disorders suggest that this ability depends on a dedicated and circumscribed brain system. Functional imaging studies implicate medial prefrontal cortex and posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) as components of this system. Mentalizing capacities are acquired in first attachment relationships, they are the basis of empathy (i.e the consciousness and sharing of other’s mental states). The lack of mentalization is the consequence of the failure of parental reflective capacities and of dysfunctions of attachment and family relationships.
