  • What financial support would different municipalities provide?
  • What would be the future charity campaigns of Foundation “Iskam Bebe”, Association “Zachatie” and “New Life” fertility center?

BREASTFEEDING: WHY IS IT GOOD FOR BOTH YOU AND YOUR CHILD?

Why is it good for both you and your child?

Dear friends, breastfeeding is a very relevant topic, which we write about in order to show you how it is good not only for your baby but also for you.

  1. Strengthens immunity. Babies are born extremely vulnerable to infections. That is why colostrum (the first milk produced by the mammary glands) is the richest in antibodies that protect against infections and allergies. Unlike the numerous formulas for babies, breast milk changes its constitution to match the needs of the baby. Colostrum (the first breast milk produced), for example, is richer in protein and contains fewer sugars than the breastmilk which you start producing 3-4 days after birth. This breast milk in turn contains more sugars and calories, and is higher in quantity, which corresponds to the baby’s increasing calorie needs.
  2. Prevents chronic diseases. There is a link between breastfeeding and the likelihood of developing diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and Crohn’s disease later in life.
  3. Healthy weight for both of you! Babies suck as much breastmilk as they need. This creates the habit of not overeating. The mother loses up to 500 extra calories a day while breastfeeding.
  4. Faster recovery. During breastfeeding, the hormone oxytocin is released, which reduces bleeding after delivery and helps the uterus return to its normal size faster. Oxytocin, also called the “hormone of love”, helps build a strong bond between mother and baby.

Breastfeeding gives your baby the ultimate superfood and gets you on the fastest route to recovery after pregnancy. Enjoy it together with your baby!

Promotional price for CASA until the end of 2017

Computer Assisted Spermogram (CASA)  semen analysis – 80 lev , until the end of 2017 at New Life clinic.

WHAT IS IT?

CASA is an automated system for sperm analysis which makes use of software for the evaluation of sperm concentration, motility and morphology. The main advantage of CASA is that it eliminates the subjectivity associated with the human factor in manual semen analysis, thereby allowing for better standardization of the procedure. Furthermore, the software counts the spermatozoa more accurately, can calculate and record their exact speed and movement trajectory as well as the dimensions of their heads, midpieces and tails for more accurate morphology evaluation. Using computer assisted sperm analysis also allows better visualization of the results, which aids patient understanding.

IS IT MORE SUITABLE FOR ME THAN REGULAR SEMEN ANALYSIS?

Regular semen analysis is recommended in two cases.

It is recommended for patients whose previous semen analysis reported very low sperm concentration or motility. In such cases manual analysis gives more accurate result.

The second case refers to patients for whom this is the 1st semen analysis. In this case manual semen analysis is quite sufficient and it is always good to start with a regular semen analysis.

In all other cases patients receive more and more accurate and visual information from a CASA.
