    Study Notes

    Breastfeeding Overview

    • Breast milk is nutritionally superior to cow's milk for infants
    • Lactation physiology is a complex process involving many hormones
    • Different stages of milk production (colostrum, transitional, mature) exhibit distinct compositions
    • Key differences in the composition of human milk, cow's milk, and various formulas are presented in various tables.
    • Breast milk is a living, biological fluid with antimicrobial properties (immunoglobulins IgA and IgG).
    • Several factors (e.g., hormones, maternal diet) influence breast milk composition.

    Objectives of Study

    • Students should be able to explain the physiology of lactation
    • Differentiate between colostrum, transitional, and mature human milk
    • Analyze the quantitative and qualitative properties of breast milk and cow's milk and commercial formulas
    • List the advantages of breast milk over cow's milk, encompassing economic and societal benefits.

    Milk Types

    • Breast milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, humanized milk, cow's milk-based, soy-based, goat's milk-based, hypoallergenic

    Hormones During Pregnancy

    • Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels rise dramatically during the first trimester, then plateau
    • Placental lactogen, cortisol, progesterone, estradiol and prolactin levels show noticeable increases over time, depending on the stage of pregnancy

    Hormonal Control of Lactation

    • Reproductive hormones (estrogen, progesterone) influence mammary gland development and proliferation during pregnancy
    • Prolactin, oxytocin, and other hormones regulate milk synthesis and ejection during lactation
    • Various hormones influence mammary phases and lactation in different ways; some acting directly on the mammary glands and others indirectly via metabolic coordination.
    • Hormones like cortisol, somatomedin-C, insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), insulin, and thyroid hormones have roles in milk production and infant development.
    • Mothers who have experienced preterm labor may exhibit lower levels of certain milk hormones or immune factors.

    Let-Down Reflex

    • Infant sucking triggers sensory receptors
    • Hypothalamus releases oxytocin, stored in the posterior pituitary
    • Myoepithelial bands contract, ejecting milk
    • Epinephrine and norepinephrine can block the let-down reflex

    • Contains high amounts of immunoglobulins (especially sIgA).
    • Higher concentration of various proteins than later milk stages .

    Colostrum - Nutrient Composition

    • Lower lactose and fat content compared to later milk stages
    • Higher protein and immunoglobulins (especially sIgA), making up 95% of the proteins.

    • Contains higher numbers of macrophages for phagocytosis (cell engulfment).
    • Contains antibodies to E. coli, lysozyme, anti-staphylococcal factor, lactoperoxidase, and bile salt-stimulated lipase
    • Has productive lipid byproducts, human milk oligosaccharides

    Transitional Milk

    • Produced from approximately days 4 to 10 after delivery
    • Fats, lactose, and B vitamins gradually increase
    • Phosphorus levels higher than in either colostrum or mature milk

    Human Mature Milk

    • Secreted beyond day 10 postpartum
    • Bluish, watery appearance with pH 6.8 to 7.4 (avg. 7)
    • Specific gravity 1.026 – 1.036 (avg. 1.031)
    • High levels of fats, lactose, and most B vitamins
    • Lower proteins, immunoglobulins, minerals, and fat-soluble vitamins

    Milk Composition

    • Extensive tables comparing nutrient composition between human mature milk, cow's milk, and various formulas.
    • Includes calories, fat, protein, lactose, ash, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, chloride, iron, and vitamins (A, D, E, K, and water-soluble vitamins)

    Lactose: Advantages

    • Aids Ca+2 and Mg+2 intestinal absorption
    • Promotes intestinal bacteria growth, helping lower pH and inhibit pathogen growth
    • Promotes fermentative stool flora
    • Has a lower sweetness in comparison to sugar

    Oligosaccharides/ Complex Carbohydrates

    • Small amounts of N2-containing complex carbohydrates (N-acetylglucosamine, sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides)
    • Promote Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus growth (beneficial microbes)
    • Inhibit harmful GIT pathogens

    Protein Nitrogen Fraction

    • Protein concentration differs between human and cow's milk
    • Human milk protein is primarily whey (60%) unlike cow's milk, which is more casein-based (82%)

    Composition of Protein Nitrogen

    • Detailed tables showing the concentration of various proteins (α-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, β-lactoglobulin, lysozyme, serum albumin, IgA (sIgA), IgG, IgM) in human milk and cow's milk

    • Lists the concentration of essential amino acids in human milk and cow's milk

    Non-Essential Amino Acids

    • Lists the concentration of nonessential amino acids in human milk and cow's milk

    Fats

    • Major energy source for the infant
    • Crucial for CNS myelination
    • Most variable component of breast milk, impacted by maternal diet (diurnal variation)

    Fatty Acid Profile

    • Summarizes types of fatty acids in human and cow's milk (saturated, unsaturated, and essential fatty acids)
