Bioquímica do parto: fator de relevância na amamentação

Abstract

This study was based on the Public Policies of the Ministry of Health that advocate the humanization of hospital care, prenatal care, childbirth and birth. We did a bibliographic research in order to highlight the main substances involved in childbirth, which affect the mother and the newborn born. It was evidenced that the endogenous drugs of childbirth or resulting from administration to the mother, positively or negatively affect breastfeeding. O general condition of the mother and newborn may be altered. This change takes place transitory, but significant at this very important time: the establishment of breastfeeding. Almost all mothers have nipple trauma, possibly due to the oral dysfunctions of the newborn caused by these substances. O speech therapist is the professional qualified to identify and intervene, in a effective in detecting and correcting these dysfunctions.
