Les soins peau-à-peau chez les nourrissons à terme et prématurés.

Les soins peau-à-peau (SPP) sont un aspect important des soins au parent et au nourrisson pendant la période néonatale et la première enfance. Ils doivent être entrepris immédiatement après la naissance et faire partie des soins standards dans tous les milieux, y compris à la maison. Selon de solides données probantes, les SPP ont un effet positif sur l'allaitement et l'alimentation par du lait humain, tant chez les nourrissons à terme que prématurés, de même que sur la mortalité, la stabilité cardiorespiratoire et la thermorégulation. Les SPP réduisent la douleur et le stress chez les nourrissons, accroissent l'attachement entre le parent et son nourrisson et ont des effets bénéfiques sur le neurodéveloppement de l'enfant ainsi que sur la santé mentale des parents. Le caractère sécuritaire et la faisabilité des SPP sont établis chez les nourrissons à terme et prématurés, et ces soins sont recommandés dans le cadre d'une pratique exemplaire auprès de tous les nourrissons. Les avantages des SPP sont supérieurs aux risques dans la plupart des situations, et malgré les défis qui y sont associés, les dispensateurs de soins devraient adopter des protocoles et prévoir des adaptations pour s'assurer que les SPP soient une expérience positive et sécuritaire pour le parent, la famille, le nourrisson et l'équipe soignante. Le présent document de principes s'adresse à toutes les familles, telles qu'elles se définissent et se déterminent elles-mêmes, et tiennent compte de l'importance de personnaliser la communication, le langage et la terminologie en matière de santé pour que l'équipe soignante réponde aux besoins particuliers de la famille.

[Comparison of breastfeeding duration in women before and after breast reduction surgery]. / Comparaison de la durée d'allaitement maternel chez les femmes avant et après mammoplastie de réduction.

BACKGROUND: Breast reduction surgery often concern women of childbearing age. However, it can interfere with the ability to breastfeed, whereas the benefits of breastfeeding are well known. Current data in the literature do not provide precise information on the possibilities of breastfeeding after breast reduction surgery. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess long-term breastfeeding ability of women after breast reduction performed in our centre. METHODS: This is a retrospective comparative study including patients treated with breast reduction at Saint-Louis Hospital between 2010 and 2017 and who have had children before or after surgery. Operative details were retrieved from medical records and ability to breastfeed was assessed during a phone interview. Breastfeeding before surgery was compared to breastfeeding after surgery. RESULTS: We analysed 21 births before and 35 births after breast reduction. Breastfeeding initiation was similar in the two groups (90% vs. 83%, P=0.7), but the median duration was significantly shorter after breast reduction compared with before (3 weeks vs. 10 weeks; P<0.01), the rate of breastfed child at 3 months was lower after surgery (11% vs. 43%; P<0.01), the use of infant formula was higher after surgery (100% vs. 74%, P<0.01), and we found a higher rate of discontinuation caused by hypogalactia (69% vs. 11%; P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Breastfeeding is possible but more difficult to sustain over time after breast reduction. Patients need to be made aware of that before surgery, and patients who still want to breastfeed should be encouraged at the maternity.

[The new version of the French teratology information service "CRAT" website]. / La nouvelle version du site internet du Centre de référence sur les agents tératogènes et ses fonctionnalités optimisées.

The Centre de Référence sur les Agents Tératogènes (CRAT) is a unique French national reference center involved in the risk assessment of exogenous agents (mainly drugs, but also medical imaging and addictions) on pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility. To help improve patient care, CRAT makes its expertise available to healthcare professionals via its website (www.lecrat.fr), a free, independent and public online resource regularly updated by its multidisciplinary team. In December 2023, a new version was launched, based on the evolutions desired by the CRAT team and on a satisfaction survey of website's users. A predictive search bar integrated into the home page now enables users to find the specific information they are looking for more quickly. To optimize the access via smartphones, a mobile version is now available.

Successful breastfeeding after breast reduction surgery or mastopexy: A retrospective comparative study.

Breastfeeding has been widely encouraged by health care systems for many years. Breast reduction or mastopexy, are very frequent procedures often performed on young women. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of breast surgery on breastfeeding by comparing the success rate of breastfeeding in operated women versus unoperated women. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the breastfeeding success rate according to the surgical technique or the weight resected. A retrospective comparative study was conducted. Women of childbearing age who underwent breast reduction surgery or mastopexy at Henri-Mondor Hospital were contacted to answer a questionnaire about their pregnancies. Two hundred nine patients answered and two groups of patients were constituted, a preoperative group of 104 women who had a pregnancy before surgery and a postoperative group formed by 61 women who had a pregnancy after surgery. Breastfeeding success rate was 82% in the preoperative group versus 41% in the postoperative group. A statistically significant difference was found on the success rate of breastfeeding, as well as the rate of exclusive breastfeeding, with significantly lower rates in the postoperative group. In contrast, there was no significant difference between the different pedicles used, neither according to the weight of the resected gland. The cause of failure in the postoperative group was in most cases insufficient milk. Breast reduction surgery or mastopexy seems to have negative impact on the ability of operated women to breastfeed. This impact is multifactorial so these results should be interpreted with caution and further studies are needed to improve the management of these patients.

[Evaluation of the satisfaction of healthcare professionals using the CRAT website, and launch of a new version]. / Évaluation de la satisfaction des professionnels de santé utilisateurs du site internet du CRAT et lancement d'une nouvelle version.

In preparation for a new version of the CRAT (Centre de référence sur les agents tératogènes) website, an evaluation of user satisfaction was carried out. An invitation to complete an online questionnaire covering the various dimensions of the website (appearance, content, interactivity, ease of use, technical performance) was sent in April 2022 to healthcare professionals who referred to CRAT for clinical expertise over the previous two years. After sending out 3224 individual e-mail invitations, 758 evaluators completed the questionnaire in full (response rate: 23.5%). The evaluation revealed a high-level of overall satisfaction among site users (98.0% very satisfied or satisfied). Satisfaction with the site's appearance was also high, although comments were made about the site's lack of a modern web design. Health professionals recognized in their responses the reliable, relevant and up-to-date nature of the content of this free, public online resource, independent of the pharmaceutical industry. On the basis of these highly favorable assessments, with content that has been widely acclaimed and areas for improvement that have caught the attention of site users (evolution of its appearance, of the search tool, implementation of a mobile site), a new version of www.lecrat.fr was launched in the fall of 2023.

[Knowledge, attitudes and practices in oral health of breastfeeding women]. / Connaissances, attitudes et pratiques en santé orale des femmes allaitantes.

The benefits of breastfeeding on the health of infants and mothers are no longer in doubt. On the other hand, the advantages in terms of maxillofacial development and the risks of prolonged breastfeeding on oral health are much less discussed. An exploratory qualitative study, carried out within the pediatric dentistry functional unit of the dental care service of the Lille University Hospital Center in 2022, aimed to analyze the knowledge, attitudes and practices in oral health of breastfeeding women. This article will discuss the gaps in prevention as well as the obstacles and levers to improving care.

[Varicella vaccination, pregnancy and breastfeeding: The current situation]. / Vaccination contre la varicelle, grossesse et allaitement : un état des lieux.

The varicella vaccine is recommended for women with no history of varicella who are planning to become pregnant, as well as for post-pregnancy women, to prevent the occurrence of this illness and its severe complications, especially an embryopathy, when it occurs in a pregnant woman (congenital varicella syndrome). This live attenuated vaccine should not be administered during pregnancy, nor in the month preceding it. However, when this occurs inadvertently, the data collected on the outcomes of exposed pregnancies, although few in women seronegative at the time of vaccination, allow to reassure the patients to date, as no congenital varicella syndrome has been reported to date following accidental vaccination in early pregnancy. On the other hand, during breastfeeding, a woman may be vaccinated if there is an expected short- or medium-term benefit (varicella exposure, planned pregnancy…).

[Supporting families in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease in children]. / Accompagner les familles dans la prise en soin du reflux gastro-œsophagien pathologique chez l'enfant.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children is a frequent reason for medical consultation. It is defined as the involuntary passage of gastric contents into the esophagus, with or without regurgitation and vomiting. It can become pathological if it leads to embarrassing symptoms and complications. Often confronted with this pathology, nursery nurses sometimes find themselves at a loss when it comes to treating the symptoms of pathological GERD in a toddler, as well as in supporting the parents. In order to give them some ideas, a review of the literature on the benefits of non-medicinal strategies on regurgitation in full-term infants with pathological GERD was conducted.

[A guide to psychiatric prescribing in pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding]. / Guide de prescription psychiatrique pendant la grossesse, le postpartum et l'allaitement.

Perinatal psychopharmacology is an emerging specialty that is gradually developing alongside perinatal psychiatry. The management of psychiatric disorders during the perinatal period is a challenge for perinatal practitioners due to the multiple changes occurring during this crucial period. This little-known specialty still suffers from inappropriate considerations on the impact of psychotropic treatments on the mother and the infant during pregnancy and postpartum, which can promote a deficiency in perinatal psychic care. However, the risks associated with insufficient management of mental health are major, impacting both the mental and physical health of the mother and the infant. In this paper, we propose a perinatal psychopharmacology prescription guide based on available scientific evidence and international and national recommendations. We thus propose a decision-making process formalized on simple heuristics in order to help the clinician to prescribe psychotropic drugs during the perinatal period.

Unintended Consequences of "Breast Is Best" Messaging on Mothers: An Autoethnography.

Purpose: To describe the breastfeeding experiences of a dietitian and mother so as to expose dominant discourses reinforcing expert-driven imperatives to breastfeed.Methods: Professional experiences and personal challenges related to breastfeeding promotion are described, analyzed, and interpreted using autoethnography. The social ecological model (SEM) is used as a sensitizing concept to guide the organization, presentation, and analysis of experiences.Results: Data were organized into two discussion themes: breastfeeding promotion practices and "failure" to breastfeed. Dominant discourses reinforcing expert-driven imperatives to breastfeed are revealed, including health as a duty, intensive motherhood, and mother blame. Discourses promoting or reinforcing breastfeeding simultaneously judge and denormalize formula-feeding.Conclusions: Contemporary breastfeeding promotion messages and strategies are quiet coercions used to influence infant-feeding decisions and do not support the principles of evidence-based practice, person-centred care, and informed choice.

[Should fluoroquinolones be feared during pregnancy and breastfeeding?] / Faut-il craindre les fluoroquinolones chez une femme enceinte ou qui allaite ?

Fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin) are antibiotics which pharmacological and therapeutic advantages resulted in a large use, now restricted because of resistances emergence and adverse effect risk. For pregnant or breastfeeding women they still are a cause of concern, based on the joint toxicity described in children directly treated, thus limiting their use in these populations. However, the data about exposed pregnancies published over time have not so far confirm these fears and allow, when a fluoroquinolone is clearly indicated, not to deprive pregnant patients of the therapeutic benefit of these important antibiotics and to envisage their use whatever the term of the pregnancy, within the current scope of their prescription. During breastfeeding the use of some of them can be considered.

[Breastfeeding after breast surgery]. / L'allaitement après une chirurgie mammaire.

Young women who have malformative breasts logically ask themselves the question of the functionality of their mammary gland and future breastfeeding. Several surgical techniques are possible and the ones that seem to hinder breastfeeding the most are breast reduction and breast prosthesis. Insufficient lactation is a quantitative milk disorder where the mother is unable to ensure sufficient milk production or transfer. It's clear that the calculation of its rate is today the best indicator to evaluate the lactation function. There are still very few studies using this criterion, but their results confirm an alteration in lactation whether after reduction or augmentation breast surgery. It's important to inform patients of the difficulties they may encounter, a high probability of mixed breastfeeding and a shorter duration. But also on the effects that a pregnancy can have on the aesthetic result: decrease of firmness, ptosis, modification of the volume.

Breastfeeding Rates and Related Factors at 1 Year Postpartum in Women With Gestational Diabetes Initially Recruited for a Diabetes Prevention Program.

OBJECTIVES: Our aim in this study was to evaluate breastfeeding up to 1 year postpartum and factors related to weaning in women with recent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: We assembled a cohort study of women with GDM enrolled in prenatal clinics of the Brazilian National Health System as possible candidates for the Lifestyle Intervention for Diabetes Prevention After Pregnancy (LINDA-Brasil) postpartum trial (N=2,220). Sociodemographics and clinical and nutritional information, including breastfeeding, were obtained by interview or chart review. Follow-up by telephone was done at specific intervals during the first year postpartum. RESULTS: The probability of breastfeeding at 1 year postpartum, estimated from Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, was 53.5%. Cox regression models showed increased risk of weaning for those introducing milk or formula before 6 months (hazard ratio [HR], 2.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.10 to 3.09); reporting problems in breastfeeding (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.22 to 1.82); being Caucasian (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.21 to 1.76); smoking during pregnancy (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.28 to 2.20); and living in 2 southern cities of Brazil (HR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.16 to 2.16; and HR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.20 to 2.58). CONCLUSIONS: About half of the women with GDM ceased breastfeeding before 1 year postpartum, a rate matching that of the general population in Brazil. The main risk factor was not exclusively breastfeeding up to 6 months. Given the possibility of curbing diabetes risk by maintaining longer breastfeeding, further promotion of exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months for these high-risk women is much needed.

[Continued breastfeeding upon return to work: a qualitative study at the Brest University Hospital]. / Poursuite de l'allaitement à la reprise du travail : étude qualitative au CHRU de Brest.

The objective of this qualitative study was to highlight the facilitating measures and difficulties encountered in continuing breastfeeding when returning to work at the Brest Regional University Hospital. The eleven mothers interviewed were able to take advantage of the solidarity in the care services to carry out their project, but simple institutional measures are still possible to facilitate this conciliation.

[Knowledge of breastfeeding among mothers before maternity discharge]. / Niveau de connaissance des mères vis-à-vis de l'allaitement maternel à la sortie de la maternité.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to assess the knowledge of parturients about breastfeeding and to analyze the factors influencing this level of knowledge. METHODS: It was a prospective, descriptive and analytical, cross-sectional study carried out over a period of six months including 500 parturients who gave birth at the maternity unit of the National Center for Maternity and Neonatalogy of Tunis during the period from July to December 2020. Sociodemographic, obstetrical and breastfeeding related data were collected through individual interviews carried out before leaving the postpartum service using a questionnaire written in Tunisian dialectal Arabic. RESULTS: The average age of the mothers was 31.5 years. Housewives accounted for 73.3 % of cases. Forty-four percent of the women surveyed were first-time mothers. The main source of information was relatives (74.8 %). The prevalence of breastfeeding was 93.8 %. Knowledge about breasfeeding was insufficient in 76.4 % of cases. The level of knowledge was insufficient in particular regarding signs of effective breastfeeding, signs of awakening of the newborn, lactogenesis, and diet of breastfeeding women. Unemployment of the parturient age over 30 and primiparity negatively influenced the knowledge of parturients. CONCLUSION: The level of knowledge of parturients was heterogeneous but generally insufficient. Health education programs on MA targeting subjects most at risk of insufficient knowledge should be put in place in order to improve the knowledge base and hopefully improve the breastfeeding rates.

Facteurs imputables aux services de santé limitant la pratique de l´allaitement exclusif dans la région du Centre au Burkina Faso: une étude transversale / Factors attributable to health services limiting the practice of exclusive breastfeeding in the Center Region of Burkina Faso: a cross-study

Introduction: l´organisation mondiale de la santé affirme que l´allaitement revêt une importance fondamentale pour la survie et le développement de l´enfant. Le but de la présente étude a été d´apprécier le niveau de connaissance et les attitudes du personnel soignant dans la promotion de l´allaitement exclusif afin d´identifier les facteurs limitants qui sont imputables aux services de santé. Méthodes: il s´est agi d´une étude transversale réalisée de juillet à novembre 2021 auprès de 74 agents de santé du district sanitaire de Boulmiougou. La collecte de données a été basée sur l´observation directe et l´administration d´un questionnaire. Le niveau de connaissance et les performances ont été évalués par le calcul des moyennes et le score de satisfaction a été fixée à au moins 80%. Résultats: il ressort de cette étude que les sages-femmes et les maïeuticiens représentaient 48,65% et que la majorité 78,37% des personnes interviewées avaient plus de cinq ans d´ancienneté. Pour l´opérationnalité des services, un score de satisfaction global de 21,25% a été retrouvé par rapport à l´existence de directives et de documentations sur l´allaitement. En matière de connaissance, le score de performance le plus élevé (62,06%) a été obtenu par une sage-femme et le plus bas (27,58%) obtenu par une accoucheuse auxiliaire. Conclusion: l´étude a permis de mettre en exergue la situation catastrophique dans la promotion de l´allaitement exclusif d´où il parait urgent de revoir la politique sanitaire en la matière pour redynamiser les activités afin de réduire la mortalité néonatale et infantile.

Introduction: the World Health Organization states that breastfeeding is of fundamental importance for child survival and development. The purpose of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes of health care personnel in the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding in order to identify the limiting factors that are attributable to health services. Methods: this was a cross-sectional study carried out from July to November 2021 among 74 health workers in the Boulmiougou health district. Data collection was based on direct observation and the administration of a questionnaire. The level of knowledge and performance were assessed by calculating averages and the satisfaction score was set at at least 80%. Results: it appears from this study that midwives and midwives represented 48.65% and that the majority 78.37% of those interviewed had more than five years of seniority. For the operationality of the services, an overall satisfaction score of 21.25% was found in relation to the existence of guidelines and documentation on breastfeeding. In terms of knowledge, the highest performance score (62.06%) was obtained by a midwife and the lowest (27.58%) obtained by an auxiliary midwife. Conclusion: the study made it possible to highlight the catastrophic situation in the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding from which it seems urgent to review the health policy in this area to revitalize activities in order to reduce neonatal and infant mortality.

[Impact of mode of delivery on the weight kinetics of the breastfed infant]. / Impact du mode d'accouchement sur la cinétique pondérale du nouveau-né allaité.

In various studies, the introduction of infant formulas during the stay in the maternity ward has been shown to increase the risk of breastfeeding failure and the development of cow's milk protein allergy. How can they be avoided when the infant loses weight in an "abnormal" way? A team from the Polyclinique Majorelle, in Nancy, studied the impact of the mode of delivery on the weight of the newborn in order to improve its accompaniment while respecting the real needs and rhythms of each child.

Birth, breastfeeding, psychological flexibility and self-compassion as predictors of mother-infant emotional availability in a cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to examine relationships between objective childbirth and breastfeeding events, subjective childbirth and breastfeeding experiences, and emotional availability in the mother-infant relationship. Further, it aimed to test two psychological variables, psychological flexibility and self-compassion, as predictors of emotional availability. A convenience sample of 396 mothers of infants (<2 years) from Australia and New Zealand completed an online cross-sectional survey. Objective breastfeeding events (difficulties), negative subjective birth/breastfeeding experiences, poorer psychological flexibility, and lower self-compassion correlated with poorer emotional availability. After controlling for objective birth and breastfeeding variables using multiple linear regressions, better subjective breastfeeding experiences, psychological flexibility, and self-compassion predicted the mutual attunement aspect of emotional availability, whereas better subjective birth experiences and psychological flexibility predicted the affect quality aspect of emotional availability. Mothers' subjective experiences of birth and breastfeeding are important in understanding the early mother-infant relationship. Psychological flexibility and self-compassion are important predictors of emotional availability and may be useful targets for psychological intervention aimed at optimising early mother-infant relationships.

La meta de este estudio fue examinar las relaciones entre las objetivas actividades de dar a luz y amamantar, las experiencias subjetivas de dar a luz y amamantar, así como la disponibilidad emocional en la relación madre-infante. Es más, se propuso examinar dos variable sicológicas, la flexibilidad sicológica y la autocompasión, como factores de predicción de la disponibilidad emocional. Un grupo muestra de conveniencia de 396 madres de infantes (<2 años) de Australia y Nueva Zelandia completaron una encuesta transversal en línea. Las actividades objetivas de amamantar (dificultades), las experiencias negativas subjetivas de nacimiento/amamantar, una más débil flexibilidad sicológica y una más baja autocompasión se correlacionaron con una más débil disponibilidad emocional. Después de controlar las variables objetivas de nacimiento y de amamantar usando regresiones lineales múltiples, mejores experiencias subjetivas de amamantar, la flexibilidad sicológica y la autocompasión predijeron la mutua sintonía del aspecto de disponibilidad emocional, mientras que las mejores experiencias subjetivas del nacimiento y la flexibilidad sicológica predijeron el aspecto de calidad de efecto de la disponibilidad emocional. Las experiencias subjetivas de las madres de nacimiento y de amamantar son importantes para comprender la temprana relación madre-infante. La flexibilidad sicológica y la autocompasión son importantes factores de predicción de la disponibilidad emocional y pudieran ser metas útiles para intervenciones sicológicas enfocadas en optimizar las temprana relaciones madre-infante.

Cette étude s'est donné pour but d'examiner les relations entre l'accouchement objectif et les allaitements, l'accouchement subjectif et les allaitements, et la disponibilité émotionnelle dans la relation mère-nourrisson. De plus le but était de tester deux variables psychologiques, la flexibilité psychologique et l'autocompassion, en tant que prédicteurs de la disponibilité émotionnelle. Un échantillon de convenance de 396 mères de nourrissons (<2ans) d'Australie et de Nouvelle Zélande ont rempli un questionnaire en ligne pour une étude transversale. Des épisodes objectifs d'allaitement (difficultés), des expériences subjectives négatives à l'accouchement /à l'allaitement, une moindre flexibilité psychologique et une autocompassion plus basse corrélait avec une moindre disponibilité émotionnelle. Après avoir procédé au contrôle des variables de la naissance objective et de l'allaitement en utilisant des régressions linéaires multiples, de meilleures expériences subjectives de l'allaitement, une flexibilité psychologique et une autocompassion ont prédit l'aspect d'accordage affectif mutuel de la disponibilité émotionnelle, alors que de meilleures expériences subjectives de la naissance et une flexibilité psychologique prédisait l'aspect de la qualité de l'affect de la disponibilité émotionnelle. Les expériences subjectives de la naissance et de l'allaitement des mères sont importantes pour comprendre la relation précoce mère-nourrisson. La flexibilité psychologique et l'autocompassion sont des prédicteurs importants de la disponibilité émotionnelle et pourraient être des cibles utiles pour une intervention psychologique destinée à optimiser les relations précoces mère-nourrisson.

[To give care while taking the Milky Way]. / Soigner tout en empruntant la voie lactée.

As an individual choice of the mother to feed her newborn and to weave a special bond with him, breastfeeding, whose benefits are multiple, is strongly encouraged by paediatricians and midwives. The return to work at the end of maternity leave is often an obstacle to the continuation of this method of infant feeding. However, adjustments are possible, even for salaried carers who, as one young woman acting as a health executive testifies, wish to combine professional practice with continued breastfeeding in order to remain in line with their choices.
