Resumen

GONZALEZ MARINO, Mario Arturo. Breast feeding and the mother. Medicas UIS [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.1, pp.55-62. ISSN 0121-0319.

The benefits of breastfeeding in the newborn are known and universally accepted but as the mother does not have this same level of information despite being a widely researched topic in the scientific community. This review assesses publications that deal specifically on the effects that breastfeeding has on the mother, her pharmacologic association, contraindications, and pathology. Methods: the Medline database was searched by Pubmed with the MeSH key words "mothers and breast feeding" with limits of meta-analysis publications. I also hand-searched relevant journals and Cochrane database. The publications were chosen because of their relationship with the issue Results: The search included articles related to physiology, drug interactions on breast feeding, hormonal regulations, contraindications, mother’s benefits and diseases of this period. Conclusion: breastfeeding produce benefits in the mother, babies, health systems and at large on society. To get a successful lactation a hormonal regulation should be developed specially during pregnancy. Breastfeeding has mother’s benefits such as a return to prepregnancy weight and lower risk on maternal type 2 diabetes, ovary and breast cancers. Breastfeeding special relationships with medications and diseases proper of this period are reviewed. (MÉD.UIS. 2012;25(1):55-62).
