“…O aleitamento materno (AM) tem se configurado como a melhor e mais eficiente fonte de nutrição para o lactente, principalmente quando ofertado de forma exclusiva até o sexto mês de vida (1) , como recomenda a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), e complementado até os 2 anos ou mais (2)(3) . O leite materno é eficaz, pois é rico em imunoglobulinas, proteínas e vitamina A, e deve ser oferecido nas primeiras horas de vida, sendo o primeiro passo para se adquirir imunidade (4) . Os estudiosos são unânimes quando ratificam os benefícios do AM que envolvem seus atores principais: o binômio mãe-filho (5) .…”

Introdução: Bancos de leite humano são responsáveis pela promoção do aleitamento materno, coleta, processamento e controle de qualidade do leite distribuído, apresentando ainda função importante no contexto da saúde pública, no âmbito da promoção à saúde infantil, como estratégia de segurança alimentar e nutricional. Objetivo: Identificar os fatores que contribuem para a doação de leite materno, as vantagens e as dificuldades percebidas pelas doadoras, além de conhecer o seu perfil sociodemográfico. Casuística e Métodos: Estudo descritivo, transversal, quantitativo, realizado com 50 doadoras de um hospital da Região Nordeste do Brasil, credenciado na iniciativa Hospital Amigo da Criança, entre janeiro e março de 2014. Foi realizada uma entrevista individual no domicílio da doadora para preenchimento de formulário estruturado, que continha questões de caracterização pessoal, conhecimento sobre banco de leite humano e doação de leite, e motivos e desvantagens para a doação. Resultados: Os fatores que contribuíram para a doação de leite materno foram o fato de a mulher ser primípara (54,0%), ter recebido orientação sobre aleitamento materno (78,0%) e sobre o banco de leite humano (68,0%), e ter recebido apoio para doação (80,0%). Dentre as vantagens apontadas pelas entrevistadas para doação do leite materno, 90% acreditavam que beneficiaria a saúde da criança receptora, enquanto que o fato de machucar as mamas (28%) foi apontado como principal desvantagem para este ato. Quanto ao perfil das doadoras, a idade variou de menos de 19 (26,0%) anos e mais de 35 (8%), 46,0% eram casadas, 56,0% eram donas de casa, 48,0% tinham Ensino Médio e 42,0% tinham renda familiar de até um salário mínimo. Conclusão: Os inúmeros benefícios para a saúde do bebê, o amor e a solidariedade foram fatores contribuintes para a doação do leite materno. A doação é uma experiência positiva, e o apoio familiar é fator facilitador à prática da doação.

“…None of the mothers in our study initiated breastfeeding during the first hour after giving birth. The usefulness of the early initiation of breastfeeding against the risk of neonatal mortality was established in an ecological study covering 67 countries that determined that breastfeeding in the first hour of life is beneficial for all infants (Wendy, 2013). The findings from a study in sub-Saharan Africa indicated that promoting the early initiation of breastfeeding is potentially extremely beneficial: 16% of neonatal deaths could be prevented if all infants were breastfed from the first day, and 22% if breastfeeding began within the first hour after birth .…”

Traditional practices during the first months of neonatal life are common in developing countries, such as Jordan. Many international studies and reports have highlighted the fact that traditional neonatal practices are the cause of high neonatal mortality and morbidity rates in some countries. The aim of the present study was to identify neonatal care practices in Jordan. A descriptive, qualitative research design was used across four Jordanian cities across diverse regions. Forty mothers of neonates were interviewed over a period of 6 months (from January to June 2016). Thematic and content analysis was undertaken following Braun and Clarke's six step analysis. The results indicated that in Jordan, home-based neonatal care comprises non-biomedical practices. Rubbing the neonate's skin with salt, swaddling, prelacteal feeding, and other treatment modalities are common. Further studies are necessary to determine and report on the pros and cons of these practices in regard to neonatal health.

Background: Early or timely initiation of breastfeeding, specifically within 1 hour of birth has benefits for survival and beyond and it is recommended by the World Health Organization. Breastfeeding initiation after the first hour of birth doubles the risk of neonatal mortality. The present study has been conducted to estimate the prevalence and determine the factors affecting early initiation of breastfeeding in rural areas of Dibrugarh, district, Assam.Methods: Community based cross sectional study from May 2017 to April 2018 among mothers having children in the age group 0 to 23 months in the rural areas of Dibrugarh district. The sample size calculated for the study was 360 children.Results: The results were analyzed for 334 children. Prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding was found to be 54.8%. On multivariate regression analysis the occupation and education of mothers, number of antenatal checkup visits, type of delivery and religion were found to be independently associated with early initiation of breastfeeding.Conclusions: This study reveals that the early initiation of breast feeding is lower in rural areas of Dibrugarh district. The findings clearly highlight the importance of imparting health education to family members and mothers right from antenatal period on infant and child feeding practices.
