Background:Adherence to the Ten Steps of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative has been shown to have a protective role for the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding.Research Aims:(1) To determine the breastfeeding rate during the first 6 months of life in children of mothers diagnosed with COVID-19 infection at the time of birth; and (2) to assess the possible influence of being born in a center with Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative accreditation.Methods:This was a two-group comparative longitudinal observational study of infants born to mothers with COVID-19 at the time of birth, between March 13–May 31, 2020 (the first wave of the pandemic) in Spain. Fourteen Spanish hospitals participated, five (35.7%) were Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative accredited. Type of feeding was assessed prospectively at discharge, 1, 3, and 6 months of age. A total of 248 newborns were included in the study.Results:A total of 117 (47.3%) newborns were born in Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) accredited centers. These centers applied skin-to-skin contact with greater probability (OR = 1.9; 95% CI [1.18, 3.29]) and separated the newborns from their mothers less frequently (OR = 0.46; 95% CI [0.26, 0.81]) than non-accredited centers. No differences were observed in relation to the presence of a companion at the time of birth. At discharge, 49.1% (n = 57) of newborns born in BFHI-accredited centers received exclusive breastfeeding versus 35.3% (n = 46) in non-accredited centers (p = .03). No differences were observed in breastfeeding rates throughout follow-up.Conclusions:The exclusive breastfeeding rate at discharge in children of mothers with COVID-19 infection at birth was higher in Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative accredited centers, which most frequently applied skin-to-skin contact at birth as well as rooming-in.

There are multiple misconceptions concerning the breastfeeding mother’s diet and its adverse impact on breast milk composition and the breastfed child’s health, which might lead to breastfeeding cessation. Alt...

Ma kezdődik a Szoptatás Világhete

A Szoptatás Világhetét 1992 óta ünnepeljük minden év augusztus 1–7. között a World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (Fellépés a Szoptatásért Világszövetség, WABA) kezdeményezésére. A Szoptatás Világhetének kezdőnapja az Innocenti Nyilatkozat évfordulóját jelzi.

Az évről évre visszatérő kampány célja, hogy felhívja a figyelmet a szoptatás támogatásának fontosságára. A WABA évente meghatározza a világhét témáját, amely a szoptatásnak és a szoptatás támogatásnak különböző aspektusaira hívja fel a figyelmet. 2016 óta a téma mindig szoros kapcsolatban van az ENSZ által megfogalmazott fenntartható fejlődési célokkal is.

Az idei világhét témája: „A szoptatás védelme közös felelősségünk”

A szoptatás minden gyermek számára létfontosságú a lehető legjobb életkezdéshez. Az anyatej a csecsemő első oltása, a legjobb táplálékforrás, támogatja az agy, az immunrendszer és valamennyi szervrendszer fejlődését. A szoptatás elősegíti az anya és a csecsemő közötti kötődést, továbbá jótékony hatással van mind az anya, mind a gyermek egészségére nemcsak rövid, hanem hosszú távon is.

Folytatás a SzoptatásInfó oldalon.
