Perfil da prática da amamentação em grupo de mães adolescentes

Abstract

Objectives: To describe the breastfeeding experience among teenage mothers, to identify past breastfeeding experience, and to identify events / situations perceived as obstacles to their current breastfeeding. Methods: An exploratory study was conducted with 80 adolescent mothers in a low-risk maternity setting in Ribeirão Preto-SP. A structured data collection tool was administered three times (at hospital discharge, during consultation between 10-15 days postpartum, and by telephone one month after discharge). Descriptive statistics were used in the analyses of the resulting data. Results: Among those adolescents with previous breastfeeding experience, 38.5% breastfed longer than six months. There was a gradual reduction of breastfeeding in the population of teenage mothers in this study. Problems were identified that led to decreased breastfeeding, including: nipple trauma, and inadequate suckling at the breast by the infant, but at discharge the mothers were able to demonstrate understanding of how to properly breastfeed. Conclusions: The teenage mother needs support and attention, specific to her role as an adolescent breastfeeding mother, without preconceived ideas of her being unable to care for a child due to her age.

Desenvolvimento motor e cognitivo de bebês de mães adolescentes e adultas: estudo longitudinal

“…The average age of adolescent mothers in this study was 17.5 years, characterizing as mothers who became pregnant not so early, so the risk factors are somewhat mitigated. Similar results were found by Camarotti et al 18 . Higher parental educational level has been positively associated with appropriate motor and cognitive 19,20 performance of children of different ages 19 .…”

“…Previous studies have also reported the vulnerable socio-economic situation of families of adolescent mothers 18 ; and the lower the family income, the greater the vulnerability of the child development process 6 . However, in this study, the socioeconomic status did not impact the development of babies of adolescent mothers, since over time, babies of adolescent and adult mothers had similar motor and cognitive development.…”

Application and Validation of Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale – Short Form (BSES - SF) in Adolescent Mothers

“…This is a worrisome finding since authors showed that the interruption of exclusive breastfeeding through the introduction of cow's milk is most significant among low-income families [24]. There was predominance of primiparae mothers, which is also reasong for worrying bacause they are inexperient, with more doubts and difficulties in relation to breastfeeding, and may also suffer more easily negative influences on the act of breastfeeding [25]. On the other hand, if the adolescent is confident about breastfeeding and is well guided and assisted, especially at the beginning of this process, she will develop the necessary confidence to continue breastfeeding her baby.…”
