It is the standard of breast milk for premature babies

INDOPOS.CO.ID – Breast milk (ASI) is able to meet all the nutritional needs of infants from first birth up to 1.5 years of age. However, for babies born prematurely, badfeeding should be more intensive.

This was stated in a book written by Dr. Dr. Rinawati Rohsiswatmo titled "ASI for Premature Babies" in the Menteng area of ​​central Jakarta on Wednesday (28/11).

"Although it's an era of digitization where all information can easily be searched, the birth rate of premature babies remains high," the author explained. According to a report by Born too Soon on the World Report on Preterm Birth published by the United Nations, Indonesia ranks fifth in the world with the highest number of premature babies in the world.

The number of premature infants in Indonesia reached 675,700 in 2010. A premature baby is a baby born before the age of 9 months and smaller than a baby in general.

Thus, premature babies have a number of growth disorders if they are not properly monitored. Babies born prematurely between 23 and 28 weeks, in particular, have the highest risk of complications such as recurrent paralysis, ADHD, vision problems, hearing, digestion and anxiety disorders.

In addition, premature babies have a higher risk of infection and are more susceptible to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). "The treatment of premature babies is very different from that of a baby term, especially related to nutritional problems.Pre-born babies have a higher potential in case of growth failure," he said. -he declares. He said choosing the right sources of nutrition and proper care for premature babies is very important. Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for babies, especially premature babies.

With proper badfeeding in premature infants, it can meet the nutritional needs of premature babies. Nearly 100% of the needs of babies up to the age of 6 months.

He said in his book that there is a maximum badfeeding technique. For example, contact skin to skin and care of the kangoroo mother (KMC).

From the research, he continued, sucking is the most complex and difficult movement for babies. Good technique is the basic capital for the baby's movement.

Here (babies born prematurely), there is an emergency condition of the protein. Because in the uterus, the baby consumes a high protein intake, which gives rise to a brutal nutritional intake.

"Breast milk for premature babies has a history of the mother's nature, the average weight is premature from 1.5 kg to 2 kg.The nutritional needs of boys with premature babies are different.The maternal milk of the mother so is always good for premature babies, "he says again.

He hopes that the book's launch will serve as a guide for mothers who have had a baby and are planning a pregnancy, as it is important to give the baby their ASI. Especially for mothers who give birth to premature babies for the success of exclusive badfeeding for 6 months.

The beautiful artist Cynthia Lamusu presents that she gave birth to premature twins at the age of 33 weeks. At that time, he explained, the doctor had revealed the possibility of a sudden birth.

"Finally, we have prepared the ASI donors, but these have to be those that have been detected.It turns out that the child entered the NICU at that time.Then the milk goes out and is immediately given to the child.Because the most important is bad milk.Pre-natal babies are special, "he said. (IBL)
