    BENEFITS
    FOR MOTHER

    Breast milk is the gold standard of infant nutrition since it not only covers the baby’s nutritional needs but also protects it from infections and diseases. The importance of breast milk in the development of intestinal flora, the modulation of the inmune system and the prevention of infections in newborns is a well documented fact.

    Frequency of mothers suffering breast pain is higher during the first month of breastfeeding. Antibiotic consumption during pregnancy
    or delivery is an important risk factor for mastitis development.

    Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716 might be used as an efficient strategy to prevent development of lactational mastitis in women through reduction of the Staphylococcus load in breast milk.

    Less episodes of mastitis lead to a lesser use of antibiotics during breastfeeding and therefore a smaller risk of microbiota imbalance.

    L. fermentum CECT5716 (LC40) could be an efficient treatment for breast pain during lactation associated with high level of Staphylococcus in breastmilk.
