CONSULTANT
Who collects the most comprehensive bf stats in the US? - ANS-CDC
What does prolactin do? - ANS-Cause milk to be made
What does oxytocin do? - ANS-Cause contractions which move the milk
What causes oxytocin to be released - ANS-Frequent feeding and milk removal
Lactogensis III requires what to succeed - ANS-Frequent milk removal and nipple
stimulation
The fat content of milk suckled by the baby is determined by - ANS-The speed in which
the Baby removes the milk
What is the most effective at increasing gastrin and cck - ANS-Feeding with species
specific milk
Studies on childhood obesity demonstrate that - ANS-Breastfed babies are less likely to
be obese
When undernourished moms were supplemented with extra energy in their diet they -
ANS-Responded to their infant appropriately
Harmful bacteria have difficulty growing in breastfed baby's gut because the
composition of milk - ANS-Fosters the growth of good bacteria that crowd out other
organisms.
Alveolar cells are the - ANS-Milk making cells
Myoepithelial cells are the - ANS-Smooth muscle cells that move the milk
The two pathways that control lactation are - ANS-Prolactin and oxytocin
Prolactin is dependent upon - ANS-Nipple stimulation
Associated with obesity in formula fed infants - ANS-Hyperinsulemia
GI hormone that causes fullness - ANS-Cholecystokinin
Myoepithelial cells - ANS-Muscle cells around the alveolus
The last part of feeding - ANS-Hindmilk
, Period when baby is not at breast - ANS-Interbout period
Nothing other than human milk - ANS-Exclusive bf
Paracellular pathway - ANS-Elevated prolactin levels close this
oxytocin releasing mechanism - ANS-Baby hand massage
Produced by hormones of pregnancy - ANS-Colostrum
Conducts systematic reviews - ANS-Cochrane collaboration
Cellular lock for a chemical key - ANS-Receptor site
Anabolism - ANS-Storing energy for growth
Carb found only in mammal milk - ANS-Lactose
Cholecystokinin helps babies feel a sense of - ANS-Satiety
Glands that secrete lactation hormones - ANS-Pituitary
A cluster of milk making cells - ANS-Alveoli
Stage that begins with the delivery of the placenta - ANS-Lactogenesis II
Newborn milk - ANS-Colostrum
Hormone responsible for milk ejection - ANS-Oxytocin
Breastmilk is low in this nutrient but it's almost all bioavailabile - ANS-Iron
Nerves that empty the breast - ANS-Thoracic
The number one reason that mothers stop breastfeeding is concern about low - ANS-
Milk supply
Hormone that increases with frequent nipple stimulation - ANS-Prolactin
Hormone secreted by the placenta - ANS-Progesterone
Promotes the release of gastrin - ANS-Touch
Smoking moms may wean early because - ANS-prolactin levels are low
