ObjectiveTo know and deepen in the evaluation, and experience of gypsy women with breastfeeding.MethodQualitative study with an interpretative phenomenological approach, through a focus group with the participation of six mothers of gypsy ethnicity, users of the Fuente de San Luis Health Center in the city of Valencia.ResultsThe barriers described by these mothers regarding breastfeeding refer to a lack of family support, an association of breastfeeding to sacrifice and to the dependence of the baby to the breast. From the accounts of these mothers it is perceived, a disinterest in breastfeeding and a lack of confidence in their own bilogy, which together with a low participation in maternal education activities, have meant the barriers that have mostly limited and largely hindered breastfeeding in this group of mothers.ConclusionsIt would be desirable to implement improvement actions that would pay more attention to promote, protect and support breastfeeding in this group. 相似文献
This study assessed whether immediate postpartum insertion of levonorgestrel contraceptive implants is associated with a difference in infant growth from birth to 6 months, onset of lactogenesis, or breastfeeding continuation at 3 and 6 months postpartum compared to delayed insertion at 6 to 8 weeks postpartum.
Study design
We conducted a randomized trial of women in Uganda who desired contraceptive implants postpartum. We randomly assigned participants to receive either immediate (within 5 days of delivery) or delayed (6 to 8 weeks postpartum) insertion of a two-rod levonorgestrel contraceptive implant system. This is a prespecified secondary analysis evaluating breastfeeding outcomes. The primary outcome of this secondary analysis was change in infant weight; infants were weighed and measured at birth and 6 months. We used a validated questionnaire to assess onset of lactogenesis daily in person while participants were in the hospital, and then daily by phone after they left the hospital, until lactogenesis was documented. We used interviewer-administered questionnaires to assess breastfeeding continuation and concerns at 3 months and 6 months postpartum.
Results
Among the 96 women randomized to the immediate group and the 87 women to the delayed group, the mean change in infant weight from birth to 6 months was similar between groups: 4632?g in the immediate group and 4407?g in the delayed group (p=.26). Among the 97 women who had not experienced lactogenesis prior to randomization, the median time to onset of lactogenesis did not differ significantly between the immediate and delayed groups (65?h versus 63?h; p=.84). Similar proportions of women in the immediate and delayed groups reported exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months (74% versus 71%; p=.74) and 6 months (48% versus 52%; p=.58).
Conclusion
We found no association between the timing of postpartum initiation of levonorgestrel contraceptive implants and change in infant growth from birth to 6 months, onset of lactogenesis, or breastfeeding continuation at 3 or 6 months postpartum.
Implications
This study provides evidence that immediate postpartum initiation of contraception implants does not have a deleterious effect on infant growth or initiation or continuation of breastfeeding. 相似文献
Objective: Our aim was to study the association between early-life factors and the development of endometriosis.
Methods: This case–control study included 440 women with surgically confirmed endometriosis (cases) and 880 women without endometriosis (controls). Information on early-life factors was ascertained retrospectively by in-person interviews with participants and their mothers. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between endometriosis and maternal and paternal characteristics and foetal and infant exposures were estimated using unconditional logistic regression, adjusting for frequency matching and confounding variables.
Results: We observed that women who were not breastfed as infants had twice the risk of endometriosis compared with women who were breastfed (adjusted OR 2.0; 95% CI 1.6, 4.5). Our data suggested an increased endometriosis risk with neonatal vaginal bleeding (adjusted OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.2, 4.3) and paternal smoking (adjusted OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.1, 4.9). Although the CIs included the null hypothesis value, caesarean section (adjusted OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.0, 3.5) and prematurity (adjusted OR 1.4; 95% CI 0.8, 3.7) were probably associated with the incidence of endometriosis.
Conclusions: Some early-life factors including breastfeeding, neonatal vaginal bleeding and paternal smoking were associated with subsequent, surgically confirmed endometriosis in this cohort of Chinese women. 相似文献
IntroductionThe main challenge of Parkinson's disease in women of childbearing age is managing symptoms and drugs during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The increase in the age at which women are having children makes it likely that these pregnancies will become more common in future.ObjectivesThis study aims to define the clinical characteristics of women of childbearing age with Parkinson's disease and the factors affecting their lives, and to establish a series of guidelines for managing pregnancy in these patients.ResultsThis consensus document was developed through an exhaustive literature search and a discussion of the available evidence by a group of movement disorder experts from the Spanish Society of Neurology.ConclusionsParkinson's disease affects all aspects of sexual and reproductive health in women of childbearing age. Pregnancy should be well planned to minimise teratogenic risk. A multidisciplinary approach should be adopted in the management of these patients in order to take all relevant considerations into account. 相似文献
Purpose: To compare discharge breastmilk feeding rates among asymptomatic term newborns receiving 48-hour versus >48-hour antibiotics in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and a cohort of well-baby nursery (WBN) newborns.Materials and methods: This retrospective review included asymptomatic term neonates admitted to the NICU due to maternal chorioamnionitis and a comparison group of WBN neonates between January 2012 and December 2015. Demographic, birth, feeding, and lactation consultant visit data were analyzed in univariate and multivariate models.Results: Among 272 NICU neonates, 237 (87%) received 48-hour antibiotics versus 35 (13%) who received >48-hour (h) antibiotics; a cohort of 428 WBN neonates was studied for comparison. Exclusive breastmilk feeding was seen in 14% of NICU versus 35% of WBN neonates (p?.01). Among NICU newborns, 48?h versus >48?h antibiotics was not associated with altered discharge breastmilk feeding (14 versus 14%; p?=?.89). On multivariate logistic regression analysis among NICU subjects, older maternal age (p?.01), lower parity (p?=?.02), first-feed breastmilk (p?.01), and more lactation consultant visits (p?=?.012) were associated with increased discharge breastmilk feeding.Conclusions: NICU admission for presumed early-onset sepsis due to maternal chorioamnionitis was associated with reduced discharge breastmilk feeding in asymptomatic term neonates, but prolonged antibiotic exposure was not. We speculate that demographic factors, such as maternal age and parity, may aid in focusing lactation consultant efforts to potentially improve NICU exclusive discharge breastmilk feeding rates. 相似文献
BackgroundBreastfeeding women often use herbal products to increase their milk supply. The aim of this study was to summarize the literature about the role of healthcare providers in advising breastfeeding women about herbal product use.MethodsPubmed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases were searched for articles written in English using the Keywords: “breastfeeding” or “lactation” and “herbal medicine*“, “botanical*“, “dietary supplement*“, “natural product*“, “traditional medicine*” or “complementary medicine*“.ResultsTwenty-two articles were included in this review. A lack of inter-professional communication and guidelines, a lack of provider confidence and knowledge about the evidence for the efficacy and safety of herbal products were identified as causing a ‘gap’ between current practice and expectations of breastfeeding women seeking advice about their use herbal products.ConclusionsStrategic and collaborative efforts between key stakeholders are required to ensure the needs of women who are considering herbal product use while breastfeeding are met. 相似文献
BackgroundAccording to the INPES 2014 health barometer, the prevalence of smoking in pregnant women in France is the highest in Europe : 17.8% of expectant mothers who smoke continue to do so during pregnancy. Several epidemiological studies have confirmed multiple risks for tobacco-exposed infants (low birth weight; digestive, respiratory, neurological, and psychological disorders; obesity; type 1 diabetes).PurposeThis study compared a cohort of infants exposed to tobacco in utero (T + ) with those unexposed (T−). Birth weight, diet, presence of colic (ROME III criteria) and regurgitations (Vandenplas scale) were specifically analyzed.MethodsThis observational, cross-sectional, and multicenter survey was conducted in France by pediatricians and general practitioners from September 2016 to February 2017. Infants with a chronic pathology and those with parents under 18 years of age were excluded. The data were collected by the physician and by the mother through a self-administered questionnaire.ResultsA total of 452 physicians recruited 759 T+ and 741 T- infants in the study. The mean birth weight of T+ infants was significantly lower (3.1 ± 0.5 kg [WHO z-score -0.476 ± 1.081]) than that of T− infants (3.3 ± 0.5 kg [0.033 ± 0.965]; P < 0.001). At the time of leaving the maternity facility, 47.7% of T+ infants were breastfed by their mother compared with 70.1% of T− infants. The median reported duration of breastfeeding was 1 month vs. 2 months for T+ and T− infants, respectively. Colic was significantly more common in T+ than in T− infants: 25.6% vs. 12.3% according to the ROME III criteria, and 45.7% vs. 29.7% according to the doctor's opinion (P < 0.001 for both). In the T+ group, cases of regurgitation (63.6% vs. 56.5%; P = 0.005), respiratory disorder (6.3% vs. 2.4%, P < 0.001), and bronchiolitis (6.5% vs. 3.0%; P = 0.001) were also more frequent.ConclusionThis study confirms that maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with health risks; exposed infants had significantly more digestive/respiratory symptoms and lower birth weight than unexposed infants. Preventive and educational actions need to be further strengthened in the face of this public health problem. 相似文献
