Short and Long Term Effects of Breast Feeding on Child Health (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (478))

Proceedings of the 9th International Conference of the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation (ISRHML), October 2-6, 1999, Bavaria, Germany. The quality of infant feeding is of major importance for child health development and well being, and breast feeding is the natural form of supplying food to the infant and is considered to be ideally adapted to the needs of both mother and child. This contributed volume therefore, brings together the research on the physiological foundations and on the biological effects of breast feeding, both short and long term. This book contains the work of scientists from over thirty countries, many of whom are leading researchers in their fields, and details papers presented by the invited speakers of the conference and short summaries of presentations of original research results. Booknews Usually the first observable effect is that the baby stops crying, but the scientists here explore benefits in physical health that extend well into adulthood. The 67 papers and abstracts from an October 1999 conference in Bavaria consider such aspects as beer and breastfeeding, opsonophagocytosis versus lectinophagocytosis in human milk macrophages, breastfeeding and HIV-1 infection, the polyunsaturated fatty acid supply with human milk, the energy intake and growth of breast-fed infants in two regions of Mexico, zinc intakes and plasma concentrations in infancy, breastfeeding and asthma in children, breast-feeding patterns and influencing factors in Lithuania, using a soft laser to treat sore nipples, and news about human milk banking in Germany.
