Maternal nutrition in CMPA of the breastfed infant: education, prevention and compensation of nutritional deficiencies.

This thesis focuses on elimination diets in breastfeeding mothers in cases of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in their infants. The theoretical part characterizes CMPA and its manifestations in children, explores the relationship between maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation, and its impact on the infant's health. It also addresses the principles of elimination diets, emphasizing the importance of strict adherence by the mother when CMPA is suspected in the infant. Furthermore, it discusses the reintroduction of cow's milk protein (CMP) into the maternal diet through elimination-exposure testing using the milk ladder method, which gradually reintroduces CMP according to established guidelines. The theoretical section also outlines the potential socioeconomic impact of elimination diets on mothers. In the practical part, an analysis was conducted to identify the most common errors in elimination diets, particularly insufficient elimination of CMP and the use of inappropriate substitutes, such as milk from other mammals, which may also trigger allergic reactions. Cases of overly restrictive diets without proper medical diagnosis were identified, posing a risk of nutritional deficiencies in mothers. The research included monitoring the health status of breastfed infants and their mothers...
