These results National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) in Botswana, Nigeria, Nigeria. So the press release issued by Breastfeeding Mother Association of Indonesia in Jakarta, Thursday (10/12/2009), signed Mia Susanto, Chief Nursing Mother Association of Indonesia (Aimi).

In the press release stated, Nigeria NACA research results are released by Professor John Idoko, Director of NACA Nigeria, on 26 November. Scientific writing theme is "Universal Access and Human Rights, Closing the Gap Wide in Preventing Mother To Child Transmission (PMTCT)".

Mia Susanto responded positively to the Nigerian NACA research. Before the announcement of the results of this research, international parties are still hesitant to recommend that HIV positive mothers to breastfeed their babies. "With this research, the fear that infants born to HIV positive mothers will be infected through mother's milk becomes minimalized. For HIV positive mothers are taking antiretroviral drugs," he explained.

Furthermore, he says, from the beginning Aimi always recommend that mothers can breastfeed their babies exclusively, even in sickness. Consideration, in addition to all the good baby from mother's milk, the baby also received antibodies from the mother to the disease.

Newborn baby is very vulnerable to infection or infectious diseases in the surrounding environment. The best way to protect babies from infection and various diseases is to give milk.

"Why is that? Because breast milk is the best nutrition hygiene, which has the most complete nutrition, and in particular contain antibodies produced by the body of his mother. Antibodies is not owned by any milk substitute, which can protect babies from infection around it," said Mia.

Mia confirmed, breastfeeding can not be compared or replaced by formula milk. Because the formula milk is not sterile products. "Not to mention for the presentation that needs a place and water, which may not be sterilized first. Therefore, formula milk feeding will increase the danger of infectious diseases and mal-nutrition," he said.

This increased prevalence of infection suspected to easily track, ie at the time during pregnancy, childbirth, or during breastfeeding. People with HIV / AIDS who did not receive antiretroviral therapy 15-45 percent of children at risk of contracting HIV / AIDS.

Deep sleep Prevent Child Obesity

Surprising facts found are: lack of sleep in childhood tends to cause obesity in adulthood. Research conducted by the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, published in the journal Pediatrics recently. The research involved more than a thousand people being monitored from birth until the age of 32 years.

Of course, lack of sleep in childhood is not the only cause of obesity. There is also a genetic factor (if both parents are obese, 80% will likely result in obese children, if one parent is obese, likely 40% child obesity), lack of movement and exercise, as well as food consumption is not wise. However, lack of sleep in childhood proved the most dominant causes people are obese in the future.

How can it happen? Apparently, children who sleep less tend to burn throughout the day. As a result he was reluctant to do active activities, so the calories that enter the body does not burn completely, and backfilled as fat.
Lack of sleep also causes ghrelin production in the body to be higher, while the production of leptin was lower. Ghrelin is a hormone that triggers increased appetite, while the other hand, leptin is a hormone inhibiting the desire to eat. If the content of ghrelin in the child's body height, he tends to feel hungry continues. In addition, leptin children who sleep deprivation is low, so there is no desire to limit hormone overeating.

Robert John Hancox, senior researcher in the research team then reminded the parents to begin to regulate sleep patterns of children with a good night. For important to realize, errors child's sleep pattern will bring consequences for life. For that reason, experts recommend that babies sleep during 10,5-18 hours / day, children 1-3 years 12-14 hours / day, children 3-5 years 11-13 hours / day, children 5-12 years old 10-11 hours / day, while teenagers are advised 8,5-9,5 hours of sleep a night.
