Mammalian lactation patterns and milk composition have evolved over millions of years to support the survival,

growth, and development of mammalian offspring

• Largest brain of all mammals

• Because the brain is large, the head is large

• If the human fetus were to remain in utero and reach the maturity of other mammals, the head would be too large for normal delivery

• Thus, the human is the most “immature” of all mammals at the time of term birth

• Grow the human body slowly

• Lowest protein of all mammalian milk

• Grow the human brain rapidly in a highly specific manner

• High lactose and triglycerides for energy • Uniquely concentrated fats that facilitate optimal structural development and myelinization

• Protect, develop and program many body systems through synergistic functions: immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, gut-colonizing, and epigenetic mechanisms Kapellou et al., 2006

Helping Mothers Establish and Maintain an Abundant Milk Supply is a Major NICU Priority

Maintenance

•  Profound hormonal, anatomical and milk composition changes

•  Mammary gland transitions from “preparing to make milk” (secretory differentiation) to “synthesizing and secreting milk (secretory activation, lactogenesis II)

•  “One-time event that is either achieved or not achieved

•  Interference impacts the “initiation of lactation”, not “the milk supply”

Coming to Volume: Mechanisms and Best Practices

FIL

•  Period between the onset of lactogenesis II and achieving a threshold milk volume that is sufficient to maintain lactation

•  Autocrine control of lactation begins

•  Milk must be removed effectively and efficiently in order to be replaced

•  Problems that interfere with milk removal can have a long-lasting impact on lactation performance

Pumping Begins

Prolactin concentration increases 2-3 times over Baseline (more rapid milk

synthesis)

If available milk is not removed, the feedback inhibitor of lactation (FIL) works at the level of the individual breast to down- regulate milk synthesis

Reproduction and Fertility 1998;3: 104-112

Evidence to Practice: Coming to Volume is a critical period, so it should be approached

proactively and interventions during this time should be given funding priority

Every mother is seen every day during this period to ensure milk expression is progressing optimally

Last Trimester in Utero

• High concentrations of growth factors target the GIT epithelial cells

• Weight of intestinal mucosa per kg of body weight increases 146%

• Fetus swallows up to 750 mL/d

Colostrum is the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine nutrition in mammals

• In composition and bioactivity, colostrum is more like amniotic fluid than it is like mature milk:

• ≥ 13 identified growth factors target GIT • Growth factors function synergistically, in that the combined effect is greater than that of individual factors • Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is > 1000 times higher in colostrum than maternal serum • EGF is absorbed intact from the GIT, and may affect growth of distal organs • EGF receptors in infant GIT and lungs • 68 cytokines in human colostrum, changing over first few days after delivery

• Explains importance of colostrum

• Differentiates colostrum from mature milk

• Explains gradual closing of tight junctions in mammary epithelium

• Emphasizes never to discard colostrum

• Illustrates correct storing and labeling of colostrum

From Evidence to Practice From Evidence to Practice

• Special 11 mL container for colostrum

• Families number pumpings from 1-60

• Bedside nurse quickly identifies the order in which colostrum should be fed to the infant

• Colostrum is fed from first feed through 130 to 150 mL/kg/d

Rodriguez, Meier, Greer, Zeller, 2009; Rodriguez et al, 2010; Rodriguez et al, 2011; Seigel et al., 2013; Lee et al, 2015

Oropharyngeal Administration of Colostrum

• Cytokines in colostrum may be absorbed via the OFALT system and provide systemic protection

• Oligosaccharides may interfere with adherence of pathogens to mucous membranes in the oral cavity and oropharynx and protect from VAP

• BOTH mechanisms would be additive to intestinal effects of colostrum

Several lines of evidence suggest that health and neurodevelopmental outcomes for premature infants have their origins in the immature gut

•  Colonization with commensal bacteria

•  Down-regulation of inflammation and oxidative stress

•  Programming immunomodulatory and metabolic pathways

Any  Formula  (<  100%  HM-­‐PCT)  During  Days  1-­‐14  Post-­‐Birth  Increases  the  Risk  of  NEC  

•  The Risk of NEC was modeled using a propensity score to control for variables that impact NEC (e.g., days NPO, antibiotic use, TPN, etc.)

•  Various HM variables were added to the statistical model AFTER controlling for the risk of NEC. Formula by day of life 14 increases risk of NEC (OR =3.0, p = 0.03)

•  Each additional 1 ml/kg/d of HM during days 1-14 decreases NICU costs by $560.
