A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

  • To inform health professionals and the public about environmental risks in breastfeeding.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research.
  • Analysis of studies on drug, pesticide, and environmental contaminant transfer into breast milk.
  • Synthesis of findings on the impact of these contaminants on infant health.

Main Results:

  • Human milk can contain various drugs, pesticides, and environmental pollutants.
  • Infant exposure to these contaminants via breastfeeding is a significant concern.
  • Recent research underscores the prevalence and potential harm of these contaminants.

Conclusions:

  • While breastfeeding is beneficial, the presence of contaminants necessitates awareness.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand and mitigate risks.
  • Health professionals should counsel mothers on potential exposures and risks.
