Recent News: Dutch researchers find Covid-19 antibodies in human milk

'We think when drinking the milk, the antibodies attach themselves to the surface of our mucous membranes,' Hans van Goudoever, head of the Emma children's hospital at the UMC, said. 'Then they attack the virus particles before they force their way into the body.' The UMC has now started a campaign to find 1,000 women who are willing to donate 100ml of breast milk for the research project. 'Women who may have had coronavirus without noticing it may also have made antibodies which can be found in milk,'

Here you'll find references and research supporting the information in the advert.

"Nature has been researching your milk for hundreds of millions of years"

"Your milk contains ingredients that kill cancerous cells"

"Your milk contains stem cells. These are cells that create and repair the body, and are being researched worldwide to cure conditions like Alzheimers and diabetes."

"Your body identifies bacteria and viruses found in your baby's body and environment. You then produce antibodies specifically tailored for those infections, and deliver them to your baby through your milk. The more milk she drinks, the more antibodies she receives."

"Your milk appears to switch on a gene in your baby's body, which produces a hormone called Leptin. This hormone tells your baby when his tummy is full, protecting him against over eating."

"Your milk contains Oxytocin, a hormone that induces relaxation, and feelings of well-being in your child and in you."

The story behind grow my brain

The idea for grow my brain came to midwife Jo Maynard one night when she was lying in bed and couldn't get to sleep.

Jo started thinking about how best she could support the families that she meets every day as part of her job as Lead Midwife for Infant Feeding at Medway Maritime Hospital.

She shared her idea with another midwife called Trude, who in her spare time is a very talented illustrator. Together they created the beautiful illustrations and words that are at the heart of the grow my brain campaign.

Grow my brain is supported by the Medway NHS Foundation Trust, Medway Community Healthcare and the council. It was launched on Valentine's Day 2019.

The science behind grow my brain

The first 1,000 days of your baby's life (the time between when you get pregnant and your baby's second birthday) are really important for the human brain.

Your baby's brain is developing really quickly, the quickest that it will grow during their lifetime.

Advances in science mean that we know a baby's brain develops better if they feel safe and secure. This is true when a baby is still inside their mother's tummy and once they are born.

Simple actions like singing to your baby, stroking or talking to your bump, helps your little one to feel loved and safe.

Scientific research has revealed that when unborn babies and young children feel stressed they release a hormone called cortisol, which prevents healthy brain development.

UNICEF have reported that the right side of a baby's brain develops best when they enjoy a strong bond with their parents or carers. This brain development is really important as it's the right side of the brain that is responsible for our emotions and how well we communicate.

So the development of your baby's brain can affect what sort of adult they will grow up to be, from how well they are able to manage their feelings to whether they can form positive relationships.
