With breast milk of mother to the baby the unique food components capable to provide to the child full-fledged growth and development arrive. It contains all necessary proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral substances and vitamins. But together with them also the infection can be transmitted. If there is such danger, the local pediatrician suggests to make the analysis on sterility. Such analysis is carried out in the SES bacteriological laboratories.
Instruction
1. In what cases categorically it is impossible to refuse bacteriological inspection of breast milk? The reasons can be only two: - mom had purulent mastitis; - at the newborn the first two months of life the diarrhea which is characterized by a loose stool with big amount of slime and blood does not prekrashchayushchatsya. Chair of dark green color. Against the background of diarrhea at the child a low increase in weight.
2. How it is necessary to pick breast milk for the analysis? 1. Milk is picked from each breast in a separate clean container. It can be or containers for analyses which can be bought in pharmacy, or the sterilized glass jars. Each can needs to be signed. 2. Before decantation of a hand and an areola wash with soap thoroughly, wipe a clean towel. It is in addition possible to process an areola alcohol.3. The first portion of milk (5-10 ml) for analyses is not taken. 4. It is necessary to collect from each breast 10 ml of milk.5. It is necessary to bring to laboratory material not later, than in two hours after decantation. Microbiological crops of breast milk take about seven days.
3. What results can be? As a part of breast milk there can be epidermal staphylococcus and enterokokk. They not only do not do harm, but also perform protective function, being representatives of normal microflora of mucous membranes and integuments. And if in milk pathogenic microbes are found, it is necessary to take measures. Treat dangerous microbes - mushrooms of the sort Candida, klebsiyella, gemoliziruyushchy colibacilli and golden staphylococcus. Presence of these microbes at milk at once does not speak about a disease of mother as they could get to milk from the external environment. Admissible norm - no more than 250 colonies of bacteria on 1 ml of milk (250, WHICH). If the quantity of bacteria are less, then there is no health hazard of the child. Premature babies or children with the weakened immunity risk.
4. Even if the quantity of bacteria considerably exceeds admissible norm, you should not panic. It can be result of the wrong collecting analyses. They get to the decanted milk from mother's skin. If nevertheless the external way of penetration of bacteria is excluded, it is necessary to find out – what infection generated microbes. Most often it is mastitis, but the reason can be also in the tonsillitis transferred mother.
5. Whether to continue breastfeeding at detection of pathogenic microbes? The World Health Organization informs that all pathogenic microbes, getting into an organism of the nursing mother, stimulate production of special protective proteins – antibodies. They get into breast milk and create protection for babies. Scientists found out that in breast milk there are antiviral and antibacterial factors which resist to the majority of infections. Thanks to its protective properties, pathogenic microbes, getting with milk into intestines of the kid, as a rule, there do not take root. It managed to be found out, having investigated kcal of babies and breast milk which they consumed. It became clear that there are no microorganisms which are present at mother's milk in Calais the child. It follows from this that the infection of mother is not transmitted to the baby. An exception – purulent mastitis. Existence in milk of pathogenic bacteria does not demand special treatment. Pediatricians, as a rule, appoint antiseptics of plant origin, bacteriophages and medicines for strengthening of the immune system of mother and the child. Antibiotics are appointed only in particularly complex cases. Sometimes it is possible to defeat an infection a diet of the nursing mother. The main thing that there was a positive spirit directed to long breastfeeding.
