Cards

Term
effect of antiretroviral drugs on MTCT of AIDS
Definition
reduced by 1/2 to 2/3 
Term
Nevirapine
Definition

an affordable AIDS drug

safe for use with bf

 

Term
AZT
Definition
AIDS drug that is mostly used in the West due to it's cost
Term
delivery method that reduces MTCT of AIDS
Definition
C-section
Term

HSV-1

breastfeeding implication

Definition
mother can breastfeed as long as no active lesions are on the breast near baby's mouth
Term

chickenpox

breastfeeding implications

Definition

-if mother contracts virus around time of delivery or within 48 hours after birth bf should be delayed until lesions crust over

-if mother and baby both have lesions they can be together

Term
varicella
Definition
the virus that causes chickenpox
Term

Cytomegalovirus

breastfeeding implications

Definition

does transfer to the milk but

breastfeeding should continue

 

Term

rubella virus

breastfeeding implications

Definition

can be passed into milk

breastfeeding should continue

baby will develop antibodies from exposure

Term

HBV

breastfeeding implications

Definition

Hepititis B virus

baby may breastfeed but needs to receive vaccine HBIG within 12 hours after birth

Term

HCV

breastfeeding implication

Definition

Hepatitis C

mothers should continue to breastfeed unless HCV is acquired after delivery (because no neutralizing antibodies are present)

Term

HTLV-1

definition and breastfeeding implications

Definition

-Human Lymphotrophic Virus

-linked with T-cell leukemia and lymphoma

-breastfeeding is not advised

-it may be possible to breastfeed for a short time (up to 6 months) as there is some passively acquired antibodies in the baby until 9 months

 

Term

West Nile Virus

breastfeeding implications

Definition
no reason not to breastfeed
Term
2 viruses that usually mean breastfeeding is discouraged
Definition

HIV

HTLV-1

Term

Type 1 diabetes

breastfeeding implications

Definition

allowed to breastfeed

may have lower prolactin concentrations leading to 1 day delay of lactogenisis II

Term

hypothyroidism

breastfeeding implications

Definition

-mother with well managed thyroid hormone levels can breastfeed

-not well managed = low milk supply

-levels should be rechecked and adjusted frequently

Term
PCOS- symptoms
Definition

-polycystic ovarian syndromes

-high levels of testosterone produce excess body hair, unusual breast development (maybe hypoplasia), obesity

Term

PCOS

breastfeeding implications

Definition
Difficulty producing enough milk. Can be due to lack of glandular tissue or disruption in the production of lactation hormones
Term
Theca lutein cysts
Definition

-manifest during pregnancy

-ovaries enlarged by multiple cysts that produce testosterone

-lactogenisis will not begin until testosterone levels drop, usually several weeks postpartum at which point breastfeeding is possible

Term

cystic fibrosis

definition and symptoms

Definition

-dysfunction of the exocrine (excreting) glands

-causes thick sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other parts of the body

Term

cysitic fibrosis

breastfeeding implications

Definition

-mother should be encouraged to bf

-because mom's with cf are chronic carriers of bacteria they pass antibodies to baby

- Mom will need close nutritional monitoring and extra calories

Term

Tuberculosis

breastfeeding implications

Definition
if mother has been treated and is no longer contagious should breastfeed
Term

GBS

definition and breastfeeding implications

Definition

-group B streptococcus

-leading cause of infant sepsis

-given IV antibiotics mom can bf

Term

MRSA

definition and symptoms

Definition

-Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

-bacterial infection, strain of S.aureus

-can enter a cut and cause infection in skin, can also cause infection in more serious ways (heart, lungs, blood, bones)

-often is hospital acquired

Term

MRSA 

breastfeeding implications

Definition
if there are lesions on the breast, mastitis, or abscess (or drainage) bf should be suspended for 24hours while mom undergoes treatment
Term

helps prevent MRSA

 

Definition
immediate skin-to-skin contact
Term
2 auto immune conditions
Definition

lupus 

rheumatoid arthritis

Term

Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus

breastfeeding implications

Definition

symptoms usually get better during pregnacy but flair up again postpartum

otherwise breastfeeding should be encouraged though women with lupus sometimes have low milk supply
