[Skin to skin contact after cesarean delivery.Theme update and actuation proposal].

Skin to skin contact (SSC) between mother and child immediately after birth is now considered to be an indicator of good clinical practice as it offers multiple benefits for both: it reduces stress levels of the mother, it facilitates affective bonding, breastfeeding and the newborns adaptation to extra-uterine life. However, in the vast majority of hospitals, mother and child are separated until complete recovery following a caesarean section, which can be several hours. In this article the advantages of SSC after a caesarean section, were analyzed, as well as the main difficulties in order to carry it out, which include maternal or neonatal instability and the reticence of the professionals themselves.

Fatty Acid Composition and Eicosanoid Levels (LTE and PGE) of Human Milk from Normal Weight and Overweight Mothers.

Maternal obesity is known to affect human milk composition. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are vital nutrients to the nervous system development and precursors of eicosanoids related to obesity (prostaglandin E-PGE-and leukotriene E-LTE). The aim of the present research was to study the lipid profiles, with particular emphasis to LCPUFAs, and the concentrations of eicosanoids PGE and LTE, involved in adipose tissue development, in human milk from overweight mothers compared with normal weight mothers.
