Hi mbak Wanda, Yang lagi kena campak mbak Hany mamanya Maya, bukan? Ada 2 artikel yang bahas tentang kasus ini. Saya coba posting ya, mbak. Intinya, saat ibu sakit, nggak apa-apa untuk memberi ASI (menyusui/memberi ASI perah) kepada si kecil (kecuali untuk penderita HIV).
Bahkan kalau si ibu menderita penyakit menular atau infeksi virus 'mild' (campak termasuk kategori ini, kan?), si anak juga bahkan sudah terekspos sebelum ibu sadar ia sedang menderita infeksi virus. ASI ibu tidak akan men-transfer penyakitnya ke anak, justru ASInya punya antibodi spesifik, mengalir melalui ASI dan akan mencegah si kecil tertular. Di artikel ke-2, disebutkan bahwa kalau pun ibu terkena campak (measles)dan efek penularannya justru pada saat melahirkan, dicoba untuk mengurangi pengaruh infeksi terhadap bayi dengan mengisolasi ibu dari baby-nya, tapi ia tetap bisa memberikan ASI perahnya sampai masa penularannya hilang dan ia bisa kembali menyusui anaknya dengan normal. Artikel ke-2 nya saya posting di e-mail terpisah ya, mbak supaya nggak terlalu panjang :) take care untuk mbak Hany, Sylvia - Jovan's mum with 28-week-'bump' ------------------------------------------------------- http://www.kellymom.com/health/illness/mom-illness.html#main SHOULD BREASTFEEDING CONTINUE WHEN MOM IS SICK? By Kelly Bonyata, IBCLC Page last modified: 03/22/2005 Written: 02/24/2002 It is very, very rare for a mom to need to stop breastfeeding for any illness. There are only a few very serious illnesses that might require a mom stop breastfeeding for a period of time or permanently. Per Dr. Ruth Lawrence, "HIV and HTLV-1 are the only infectious diseases that are considered absolute contraindications to breastfeeding in developed countries" (Lawrence & Lawrence 2001). During any "ordinary" illness such as a cold, sore throat, flu, tummy bug, fever, mastitis, etc. you should continue to breastfeed. Just remind your doctor you are nursing so that if medications are needed he can prescribe something that is compatible with breastfeeding. Most medications are safe to take while breastfeeding, and for those that are not recommended there is almost always an alternative medication that is safe. If mom has food poisoning, breastfeeding should continue. As long as the symptoms are confined to the gastrointestinal tract (vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps), breastfeeding should continue without interruption as there is no risk to the baby. This is the case with most occurences of food poisoning. If the food poisoning progresses to septicemia, meaning the bacteria has passed into mom's bloodstream (mom would most likely be hospitalized), see this guidance from Dr. Ruth Lawrence: "Maternal infections of the genitourinary or gastrointestinal tract do not pose a risk to infants except in the rare circumstances when septicemia occurs and bacteria might reach the milk. Even in this event, continued breastfeeding while the mother receives appropriate antibiotic therapy that is compatible with breastfeeding is the safest course for the infant. If the infecting organism is especially virulent or contagious (e.g., an invasive group A streptococcal infection causing severe disease in the mother), breastfeeding should continue after a temporary suspension during the first 24 hours of maternal therapy. Prophylactic or empiric therapy for the infant, against the same organism, may be indicated." [source: Lawrence RM & Lawrence RA. Given the Benefits of Breastfeeding, what Contraindications Exist? Pediatric Clinics of North America 2001 (February);48(1): 235-51.] The best thing you can do for your baby when you're sick is to continue to breastfeed. When you have a contagious illness such as a cold, flu, or other mild virus, your baby was exposed to the illness before you even knew you were sick. Your milk will not transmit your illness to baby, but it does have antibodies in it that are specific to your illness (plus anything else you or baby have been exposed to) - they'll help prevent baby from getting sick, or if he does get sick, he'll probably not be as sick as you. Withholding your breastmilk during an illness increases the possibility that baby will get sick, and deprives baby of the comfort and superior nutrition of nursing. You can also take measures to prevent baby from getting sick by doing the usual things to prevent the spread of illness: washing hands often, avoid sneezing/coughing on baby, limiting face-to-face contact, etc . When you're sick, it can help to just tuck baby into bed beside you and nurse lying down whenever baby gets hungry. If baby starts getting sick and not wanting to nurse, then see Baby refuses to nurse when sick. ------------------------------------------------------- --- wanda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: tadi mba hany ( anggota milis juga ), nitip pertanyaan. kebetulan sejak rabu dia kena campak, kondisi sekarang udah kena ke badan semua, tp si kecilnya masih ASI.....kira2 aman gak yah....? <deleted> ____________________________________________________ Sell on Yahoo!
