Producción de leche materna y características en donantes que acuden al banco de leche del Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso julio 2017-julio 2018

Abstract

Background: breast milk is the cardinal food for the newborn, as well as for its development and growth. There are three types of breast milk, with different physical, chemical and nutritional characteristics: colostrum, transitional milk and mature milk. Different studies show that there has been controversy between certain external factors such as; the age and nutritional status of the mother influence the composition and caloric content of breast milk. General Objective: To determine the production and caloric concentration of breast milk through the crematocrit method, from the donors in the milk bank of the Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso January-March 2018. Method and materials: a retrospective descriptive study was carried out, the general method on which we worked is the observation, in a sample of 152 donor women, taken by the convenience method. The donated milk was analyzed by the laboratory personnel using the crematocrito method, the same one that is routinely performed in the Milk Bank. Results: 152 clinical histories of mothers who donated breast milk to the Milk Bank of the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital between January and March 2018 were analyzed. It was determined that the majority of this population is located in an age range between 15-20 years, which 46.1% of donors credited de facto union as their marital status. The average body mass index (BMI) was 27.32 kg / m2 (overweight). Regarding the analysis of the energy-caloric concentration of breast milk, colostrum presents the highest value (686.52kcal / L), being 10.70% higher than that of transition milk and 14.46% higher than that of breast milk mature The highest amount of cream was obtained with donors who presented obesity type I (3.11mm).
