Currently still a little baby who can get exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. Some babies are given formula milk are actually made from cow's milk. Though there are many who do not have breast milk in infant formula.
The first thing a mother needs to know is the content of human milk and cow's milk is different. In cow milk protein content is 3.4 percent higher, while only 0.9 percent of human milk. Levels of lactose in human milk is greater of 7 percent while in cow milk of 4.8 percent.
"That is why breast milk and infant formula for the brain to the muscles," said dr Igan Pratiwi as Chairman of the Task Force ASI IDAI (Pediatric Association of Indonesia) in the seminar on Enhancing Exclusive Breastfeeding For Infants in Support of the MDGs at the Manhattan Hotel, Jakarta, Tuesday (29 / 3 / 2011).
The doctor who was familiarly called Tiwi is said lactose is very important in the process of myelin formation of the brain. Myelin serves to deliver the stimuli received by the infant. When the suckling stimulus received by the child as his mother's smell and hear and feel the breath of the mother.
While in the womb of cow's milk is the most high protein that helps build muscle because cows do need strong muscles, such as for moving or plowing fields.
Tiwi dr said that the high lactose in newborn babies can sometimes cause diarrhea. But this condition is a normal thing or physiological so that mothers do not have to stop breastfeeding.
"If the diarrhea is caused by physiological, then the weight will not go down. So long as his weight is not reduced, the mother does not need to discontinue breast-feeding and infant normally can defecate as much as 10-15 times a day, "he said as quoted by detikHealth.
In addition, AA and DHA are contained in breast milk are also equipped with a lipase enzyme that can be digested by the body. While the formula is there AA and DHA but no enzyme. This is because a new lipase was formed when the baby is 6-9 months old.
Another benefit of breastfeeding is not obtained from the colostrum content of formula milk is coming out in early infant feeding. Colostrum comes out when the baby feeds containing 1-3 million leukocytes (white blood cells) in 1 ml of milk.
"So if there's a clear-clear bit that comes out of the breast should not be underestimated, because it contains leukocytes that can kill beneficial bacteria in the body of the baby," said doctors who practice in hospitals Buda Jakarta.
He also said the success of breastfeeding mothers to continue breastfeeding the baby is determined by the support from husbands, families, health workers, community and work environment.
"Breastfeeding is an equilibrium process that involves three people: mother, baby and father. Therefore the role of fathers is very meaningful in terms of the success of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months or up to 2 years, "said Dr. Utami Roesli SpA, MBA, IBCLC.
Therefore, Dr. Utami said that a father also had the power (strength) to nourish their children and participate in the process of breastfeeding (breastfeeding father).
