Summary
In Indonesia, informal donor human milk sharing occurs due to a lack of regulations and milk banks. This leads to negative impacts and contradictory feelings among mothers, highlighting the need for clear guidelines.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Sociology
- Maternal and Child Health
Background:
- Donor human milk (DHM) is a recommended alternative when direct breastfeeding isn't possible.
- Limited understanding exists regarding accessing and donating expressed breast milk in Indonesian communities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify community experiences with donor human milk in Indonesia.
- To explore the societal context of accessing and donating expressed breast milk.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative media content analysis of 20 articles from six Indonesian online news portals.
- Keywords included "donor human milk," "expressed breastmilk," and "wet nursing" in Bahasa Indonesia.
Main Results:
- Five themes emerged: reasons for DHM use, regulatory aspects (national/religious), expert recommendations, negative impacts of lacking regulations, and maternal ambivalence.
- Informal milk sharing is prevalent due to the absence of milk banks and clear access/donation information.
Conclusions:
- The lack of formal structures for DHM access and donation leads to informal sharing and concerns among health professionals and scholars.
- Developing clear guidelines with religious and healthcare experts is crucial for safe and accountable DHM practices in Indonesia.

01:22Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...
01:30Development of Human Microbiota
The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from the skin...
01:28Development of the Oral Microbiota
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
