Breastfeeding and" human milk bank "" 1 "
As-salam wa Rahmatullah wa aleikom baraketu.
Since taking maternity leave, I went back to school. There are a lot of news from the medical point of view, which in letterlamente recent years are turning the vision that had, until recently, of being pregnant.
In recent years, is returning increasingly "the past". Old methods, traditionally used by women in the past are coming back in fashion and are increasingly being reassessed by the medical profession that, for some time, had come to no longer consider pregnancy as a fact perfectly normal and natural, but as a real disease and to see a pregnant woman as a patient to be treated like a woman rather than a natural phase of its existence.
Between the '80s and '90s, even the doctors arrived to advise against breast-feeding after three to six months and some pharmaceutical companies developed drugs based on hormones can halt the production of milk from the mammary glands.
Today (today?? mah ... was something already well known by women at the time of Muhammed sAaws) figures come as the "lactation consultant" and gynecology and ostretiche also recommended to breastfeed until after the year when the mammary glands continue to produce milk.
Breast milk is a food extraordinary.
For Nenon there is better food. In breast milk are all the vitamins, proteins and minerals they need for healthy growth, in addition, breast milk, the baby's immune system develops to the fullest. Breastfeeding satisfies all the necessities: nutritional and psychological (need to maintain contact with his mother, knowing that they were not abandoned feel safe).
Unfortunately, this is not always possible. There are cases in which the woman can not breastfeed (illness, addiction to drugs through the milk would poison the child) or, for various reasons, the process of milk production does not happen or it will stop after a short time (lack of oxytocin in the blood due to stress or depression that inhibit the production by the pituitary or inability to produce enough).
Once, in the absence of breast milk, there was always a sister, an aunt, a friend who could lend a hand ..... there were no problems of birth! In more recent times, has developed several types of formula able to meet the needs of the newborn.
From Islamic point of view, be fed with another child (girl) makes us "Brothers of milk."
binding of breast milk is like blood: you can not marry a sister or a brother of milk, as it is a / we / in Marham. Then, in front of / to our / a brother / sister of milk, we can keep the same type of clothing to the ground before our father or mother or sister in front of a biological or a brother. The children of a brother or sister of milk, should be considered as grandchildren.
In Sahih al Bukahri (niqah of the book) is in fact narrated that Umm Habibah (rA) narrated:
once said
O Messenger of God, married my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan.
thing you enjoy?
Yes! I said. Am I not your only woman and so I'd like my sister who also participated in my luck.
See, this is what did the Prophet - God bless him and grant him eternal salvation - which I am not allowed.
Ma .. Messenger of God, I said to God! Yet among us say you want to marry Durrah daughter of Abu Salamah ...
What? said, is the daughter of Umm Salamah?
Yes! I said.
By God, he said. Neither had been under my protection I would have been allowed! She is the daughter of my brother's milk ... Fu-Tuwaybah nursed us, me and Abu Salamah.
Women, do not ever offer me your daughters or your sisters ...
Although this hadith abbiain reality serves as a reminder of the illeicità marry two sisters or daughter (of previous marriage) of one of their wives, it is clear, however, also illeicità to marry the daughter of his brother (or sister ) milk.
Therefore, the link that is established through breastfeeding is highly regarded in Islam.
view of the above, I was quite surprised (if not shocked at the moment!) To discover the existence of the Movement for the MAMI Breastfeeding Italian.
This movement was born in the wake of a much better known American association that, having been in favor of breastfeeding and strong idea (supported by medical studies about the advance) that even the best formula milk can not be compared with the healthy breast milk, has created the world in various states of "BANKS OF BREAST MILK."
In short, women who have a production "extra" breast milk can donate (in the true sense of the word) their milk that is frozen in these banks by the method of lowering temperatures (to maintain unaltered flavor and nutrients) and can be used by mothers who request it within three months the donation.
Some hospitals, at this moment, immediately after-parties provide the doses of infant formula (which, remember, is cow's milk and enriched with micro-filtered) for infants who are not breastfed, but they believe in the near future, thanks to these milk banks, you can feed their young with breast milk donated.
O_O uhm ...... This would mean that if a mother can not nurse her own little, little boy (or girl) will end up with a dozen or more brothers or sisters of milk unknown "??????
What really left me puzzled .... I could not find material about and then, I just have to ask Mufti Moosa clarification on ....
Dear sisters, I hope not to have bored in explaining why the fatwa on breast milk, but I thought that the problem of not breastfeeding may involve some of us, and therefore, better be ready to make an informed choice.
Wa Allahu Alam.
aleikom Wa salam.
Amatullah.
