[The early breast feeding of newborn infants]
Abstract:
Breast feeding was started at the age of 2 hours after birth, immediately after mother and baby were transported to the clinic for healthy term newborns. Our aim was to investigate the influence of the early start of breast feeding on the development of the newborns and on their mothers, as well as to compare the results with those, obtained when breast feeding had begun on the 6-th hour after birth. The results from our work show that the earlier the beginning of breast feeding, the earlier and the more effective the consolidation of the process. The physiological loss of weight with these babies shows a smaller percentage. The level of blood sugar varies in the normal limits. So far as mothers are concerned, the early beginning of breast feeding has a good impact on their after-birth period and helps the earlier initiation of the secretion of breast milk.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
The Mammary Glands
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...
