1 January, 2022 LactApp Comments 0 Comment

Lactation restoration techniques: refusal of the breast by the infant at some point during the breastfeeding journey is a situation that can occur with some frequency. In this context, the mother is likely to interpret this situation as an infant-induced attempt at weaning. When this happens before the age of one year, it is very uncommon that this stems from an infant’s own willingness to stop breastfeeding, but usually, there are rather other underlying causes. Lactation restoration techniques Some of…

Microbiota in subacute mastitis

20 December, 2021 Developer Comments 0 Comment

In acute mastitis, we talk about macrobiota. Subacute mastitis is associated with bacterial overgrowth of coagulase-negative staphylococci, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, and streptococci of the viridans and mitis groups, such as Streptococcus mitis or Streptococcus salivarius2,3. Even so, the aetiology and diagnosis of subacute mastitis are controversial. Some authors point to underdiagnosis of this type of mastitis, which could lead to early weaning due to pain or long-lasting discomfort. Therefore, more studies providing evidence on the aetiology of subacute mastitis…

16 December, 2021 Developer Comments 0 Comment

A scientific study assessing the ability of human milk from Covid-19 vaccinated mothers to neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been published this month.

The breast pump can be a great ally in the breastfeeding journey of a woman, it can help to overcome certain circumstances or specific complications, helps to maintain deferred breastfeeding (exclusive pumping) in the case of mother-infant separation, when the mother goes back to work or is useful for other reasons.

Breast cancer diagnosis during breastfeeding

12 March, 2021 LactApp Comments 0 Comment

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. It is estimated that one in 10 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. The age range in which it appears is wide, yet 25% of these cancers develop before the age of 50, so it usually appears during the childbearing years1. In addition, evidence shows that there is a transient increase in the risk of breast cancer in the mother in the first three to four…

Calories during Breastfeeding

5 March, 2021 LactApp Comments 0 Comment

The breastfeeding mother’s diet is a recurring theme. As a Dietitian-Nutritionist, the most important thing I would say to a breastfeeding woman would be: eat healthily. But do it for yourself, not because of being breastfeeding. And do it because you are now a mother and your children are watching you (the availability of food in the home and the power of setting an example is important). But at the same time, there is another recurring question among mothers: “can…
