The components in mother’s milk changes every 24 hours to respond to the needs of infants. A new research showing how breast milk may help babies newborn to sleep.
Breast milk contains various elements, such as nucleotides, which performs a very important role in regulating the babies to sleep on a regular basis. The findings, published recently in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience, states that breast milk composition changed in certain times throughout the day.
The scientists found three nucleotides in breast milk (adenosine, guanosine and uridene) that plays driving or resting the central nervous system, making the baby calm and sleeping.
Breast milk collected from 30 women who lived in Extremadura, was declared on 24-hour period, with six to eight samples per day. Concentrate, concentrate the highest nucleotide found in samples at night (8 pm to 8 am). “It made us realize that breastfeeding effect on babies sleep”, Cristina L. Sánchez, chief author of the article and a researcher at the Laboratory at the University of Extremadura Chrononutrition.
While breast milk produced during the day has a special component that can stimulate the baby’s activity, in contrast component of breast milk at night helps your baby to sleep and rest.
To ensure proper nutrition, the baby should be fed at the same time when milk was removed. For mothers who do not work outside the home, surely this is not a problem because usually the baby nursing directly. But for working mothers who took his mother’s milk during the day, then it should be given breast milk during the day also (the following day or on subsequent days)
Because breast milk is milked in the day contains the components that are useful to make an active baby (help him learn new skills). While breast milk is removed at night usually are taken directly by the baby because the mother was at home working, or if the mother’s milk mother’s milk at night, the allotment is to be given to babies at night, too, since breast milk night contains components to make babies sleep rested.
Therefore, it is important for a mother to include the date with hours when they take breast milk to help the mother remember mother’s milk is breast milk taken in the daytime or breast milk taken at night.

Although the content of breast milk changes in the overall development of the child, there are basically three types of milk. It is colostrum, foremilk and hindmilk.
- Colostrum is the milk is yellowish in the first days after the baby is born and begins to produce breastfeeding earlier than usual. Colostrum is rich in nutrients and antibodies, and is the ideal food for a newborn. Even if you choose the formula instead of breast milk, you can feed your baby, at least a few days after birth, so he or she may be protected by antibodies and provided nutritional benefits of colostrum available.
- Foremilk is the milk which is first drawn during a feeding. It is generally thin and lower in fat content, satisfying the baby’s thirst and liquid needs.
- Hindmilk is the milk which follows foremilk during a feeding. Is richer in fat and calories. The high fat and calorie content of breast milk is important for your baby’s health and growth. Make sure your baby drain one breast before switching to the other leave to ensure you get all the advantages of both foremilk and hind milk.

Yellow
Yellow color can be indicated as fases normal for a baby, when babies get Mother’s Milk is full, without any mixture of milk formula, the yellow color of the resulting fases more bright and brilliant, yellow dominated. Which means babies get Mother’s Milk full of foremilk and hindmilk.
Foremilk Which Is the milk is first drawn During a feeding. Generally it is thin and lower in fat content, satisfying the baby’s Thirst and liquid needs.

Organs, a brain, immune system and detoxification mechanism of children is immature and still developing. The combination of these conditions with the large percentage of food consumption per kilogram of their weight, making children more susceptible to toxins that exist, compared with adults.
Toddlers are a lot of organic foods have pesticide residue stated less th
an 1 / 6 in their urine, compared with children consuming non-organic food.
Elizabeth Gillette’s paper in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives are used as reference by many parties, shows how the combination of exposure to pesticides (although slightly) in the environment, household and food lead to slowing growth in children. Gillette comparing children in two villages which are isolated in Mexico, where one village routinely uses pesticide and the other does not.
All other factors equal-genetic factors, diet, lifestyle, climate, culture, etc.. The study found significant differences between the two groups of children in two villages in terms of mental and motor skills (children exposed to pesticides have a low skill level, with high aggressive behavior).
In many Western countries, children and adults alike are exposed to pesticides. A Study on Mother’s Milk in 1995 found that infants exposed to pesticides in Australia at levels above the maximum limit. In Canada, found a direct correlation between pesticide contaminations in breast milk those increase the risk of otitis in infants.

Mother’s Milk is very important for infant nutrition for the first year. Although busy with her job, she must continue to give milk to their babies by providing dairy milk. Dairy milk is squeezed from the breast milk, stored and given to infants when mother worked and separated from their infants. Do not worry about the quality of breast milk given or not still have the same quality. Most importantly Mother must know how to store and presentation.
Things that should be the Mother of note in providing dairy milk to her baby:
- Breast milk stored at room temperature can stand 4-6 hours. For breast milk stored in the refrigerator can last about 2-3 days. If you travel long enough, the Mother can take advantage of the freezer so that milk can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 months.
- If you find any signs such as a different odor (sour), seemed clotted and darker color, indicating that breast milk is damaged. Segara throw away and replace it with breast milk is still good. If it was accidentally given the effects that arise can baby diarrhea.
- When finished flushing and storing it in a plastic sugar, mark the date of milking. So Mother knew where the mother’s milk should be used first.
- Do not heat the milk over the fire that could make dead heat absorption of the enzyme. Simply put the milk into a bowl of warm water (± 82 degrees celcius) so temperatures approaching body temperature Mother breastfeeding.
- Suggested to provide dairy milk with a spoon, not bottle. This is to avoid nipple confusion baby. Nipple confusion is a condition in which infants feel confused because before he was through breast feeding and suddenly have to breastfeed with a bottle of milk.

Having optimal brain function, especially in terms of memory, is a dream for every parent to their child. More than 40 years ago, research has found a link between brain function and various nutrients in food. This relationship has been happening since the fetus is in mother’s womb. One of the important nutrients is choline.
In the body, choline is important as the main composition of the membrane of normal cells as well as maintains the integrity of cell membranes in biological processes, such as flow / stimulus information, intracellular communication, and bioenergy. Moreover, choline can also help the normal function of the brain through the establishment of neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is the form of choline compounds which play an important role in brain function.
Acetylcholine is a chemical compound which acts on the process of storage and recall of memory, attention, or concentration of a person. The more acetylcholine is synthesized, the more that is released into the nerve so that the better memory and attention processes
Brain development in children has been started since the fetus is in the womb. Therefore, adequate choline intake must be considered in pregnant women or nursing mothers. This was due in at the moment is a critical time to get the baby’s brain development is the best memory.
To ensure availability of adequate choline in the newborn, nature has arranged a number of ways including through the placenta and breast milk (breast milk). During pregnancy, the amount of choline in the mother’s body reserves decreased due to be distributed to the fetus through the placenta.
The number of choline in the placenta to reach 14 times higher than the amount of choline in the blood. The purpose of choline accumulation in the placenta is to ensure the availability of choline to the fetus.
During breastfeeding, choline from the mother will also be released into breast milk. The number of choline in breast milk can reach 100 times the amount of choline in maternal blood. Therefore, breast-fed babies will get the amount of choline are sufficient for the development of brain cells function as memory centers. This is in line with the goal of exclusive breastfeeding program announced by the government with the aim to arouse the nation so that more mothers want to breastfeed their babies.
Adequate choline intake on each person differs according to age. On average as much as 550 milligrams of adult male / day, women 425 mg / day, whereas in infants and children are fewer in number again. If choline intake is very excessive (> 3.5 g / day) would be symptoms of low blood pressure, nausea, and diarrhea. Conversely, choline deficiency on the circumstances, there will be disturbances in liver function.
Although choline can be synthesized by the body itself, in certain circumstances the body can also experience choline deficiency. To prevent the occurrence of choline deficiency in pregnant women, nursing mothers, as well as healthy adults, should be given additional food or supplements containing choline high as egg yolks, milk, beans, chicken and beef liver, pork, beef, shrimp, soybean and wheat kernel. Moreover, choline can also be found in potatoes, peas, cauliflower, oats, sesame seeds and flaxseeds and green leafy vegetables.

Nutrients have an important role to encourage the process of developing a child’s brain grows. Good nutrition is like fuel for the brain. The development of brain circuits rely heavily on the quality of nutrition and stimulation given to infants in the womb to the age since the first three years, or so called golden period of growth (the golden age period).
Rapid growth in human brain cells taken place since the age of the baby until the age of three years. And reached perfection at the age of five years. This makes the fulfillment of nutritional factors as a vital factor in sufficient nutrients for brain development.
Until the age of one year, 60% of energy from breast milk and foods consumed by infants used for brain growth. Therefore, infants and toddlers need lots of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
In addition babies and toddlers need vitamin B1, B6, folic acid, iodine, iron, zinc, AA, DHA, sphyngomyelin (complex lipid content of fat in the brain), sialic acid, and amino acids like tyrosine and tryptophan.
Breast milk contains all these nutrients.
With balanced nutrition, it will add to growth and development of cells and branches on the baby’s brain. And the more the number of branching of brain cells, then the better is also a function of synapses (nerve cell edge) between brain cells. And finally the child is also more intelligent.
