Abstract:RESUMO Objetivou-se investigar as repercussões do Aleitamento Materno (AM) exclusivo até o sexto mês de vida de crianças com baixo peso ao nascer. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado em USF de João Pessoa. A partir dos discursos, foram construídas duas categorias, intituladas: A importância do AM no crescimento e desenvolvimento das crianças com baixo peso ao nascer; O papel da Atenção Básica na promoção do AM e no apoio às mães. Evidenciou-se a importância do aleitamento m… Show more
“…In the case of low-weight infants, it is necessary to wake them to feed by freely offering breast milk and using artifices to assist their nutrition. These artifices are used, for example, in the case of premature infants, who are not strong enough to suck the breast milk, In this case, the breast milk can be given with a spoon or baby bottle 1,6,7 . In those situations in which there is breast engorgement, the nursing mother can discard the excess milk manually in order to facilitate the nipple attachment for the infant.…”

“…Considering that there is a high staff turn-over in these positions, it is indispensable that these professionals be constantly qualified. As for the lack of qualification among CHWs on breastfeeding practices, it is necessary to implement health education strategies on a permanent basis to provide reflections on and analysis of the daily problems faced by these professionals, thus enabling the development of actions which can effectively contribute to the breastfeeding promotion 5,6,21,25 .…”

“…Moreover, breast milk is considered a complete food for the baby as it is natural, cheap and safe, thus contributing to the prevention of infections, allergies and non-nutritive sucking habits in the first years of life 2,3 as well as allowing the correct development of orofacial structures 4 . Breastfeeding can also provide immunological protection 5 and favour weight gain 6,7 . For being considered a complete food for children up to six months of life, breast milk should exclusively used 3 .…”

Purpose: to identify the knowledge of community health workers on practices and promotion of breastfeeding. Methods: this is a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to investigate a sample of 148 health workers quantitatively and qualitatively. Data collection was performed by applying a semi-structured questionnaire with open and closed questions. The following variables were analysed: sociodemographic data, capacity to provide breastfeeding guidance, participation in training and courses, and knowledge of the breastfeeding benefits for mother and baby. Statistical analysis was performed with chi-square test, exact Fisher's test and G-test at significance level of 5%. Open questions were analysed according to the qualitative research technique.Results: approximately, 45.95% of the health workers were not trained to provide nursing mothers with practical guidance on breastfeeding, and 63.30% never attended courses on breastfeeding. The majority of health workers mentioned breastfeeding benefits only for the baby, namely: nutrition, immunology, development, health, dentition, and bones. There was a statistically significant association between the capacity to provide breastfeeding guidance and participation in training (p<0.001). Conclusion: the health workers had not participated in training courses to follow up nursing mothers, in addition to having a limited knowledge on practices and promotion of breastfeeding and paying late postnatal home visits.

“…Apesar de ter aumentado a prevalência nos últimos anos, o aleitamento materno (AM) ainda está longe de alcançar o tempo recomendado (1) . Nesse sentido, garantir o AME desde a primeira hora de vida extrauterina é a forma mais segura, eficaz e completa de alcançar crescimento e desenvolvimento adequados para a criança (2) . Anualmente, a prática de amamentação exclusiva contribui para a prevenção de mais de seis milhões de mortes de crianças com menos de um ano de idade, garantindo a saúde da criança em curto e longo prazo (3) .…”
RESUMOObjetivo: Analisar a relação entre o peso ao nascer (PN) e o tempo de aleitamento materno (AM) com o atual estado nutricional de crianças de dois a seis anos de idade. Métodos: Estudo observacional, quantitativo e do tipo transversal, realizado com crianças, independentemente do sexo, com idades entre dois a seis anos, matriculadas em sete escolas de educação infantil da rede municipal de um município do interior do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), no período de junho a agosto de 2014. Participaram 353 crianças, aferindo-se peso e altura, após os pais terem respondido a um questionário de Peso ao Nascer (PN) e tempo de aleitamento materno. Resultados: A média de aleitamento materno exclusivo foi de 3,47 ± 2,81 meses. A maioria das crianças (50,7%, n=179) encontrou-se em risco de sobrepeso ou sobrepeso para a idade, conforme o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). O PN apresentou correlação positiva com a altura atual (r=0,164, p=0,002) e com o peso atual (r=0,180, p=0,001). O PN foi significativamente maior entre os meninos (p=0,003), e o tempo de AM associado à alimentação complementar foi significativamente maior entre as meninas (p=0,024). Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que o peso ao nascer influencia o ganho de peso nos seis primeiros anos de vida, com maior destaque para os meninos; e o tempo de amamentação associado à alimentação complementar foi maior entre as meninas.

Objetivo: Estimar o tempo de aleitamento materno entre crianças atendidas na rede pública de saúde e verificar diferenças segundo características maternas e da atenção pré-natal (número de consultas e orientações profissionais). Métodos: Pesquisa transversal realizada em 16 unidades básicas de Saúde da Família com 204 crianças nascidas em 2009, em um município do Nordeste brasileiro. A coleta de dados ocorreu de forma retrospectiva em 2011, por aplicação de questionário às mães das crianças. Utilizou-se a análise de sobrevida para estimar a duração mediana de aleitamento materno exclusivo e total. O tempo total de amamentação foi testado por meio do teste de Wilcoxon considerando localização do domicílio, idade materna, situação conjugal materna, paridade, número de consultas no pré-natal e orientações profissionais sobre amamentação durante o pré-natal. Resultados: O tempo mediano de aleitamento materno exclusivo e total foi de cinco e nove meses, respectivamente. A amamentação foi menos prolongada entre as mães mais novas, primíparas, residentes na zona urbana e que realizaram menos de seis consultas de pré-natal. As mães que receberam orientações sobre a importância de amamentar até os dois anos de idade ou mais e sobre os prejuízos do uso de chupeta ou bico apresentaram maiores medianas de tempo de aleitamento materno total. Conclusão: As estimativas destacam tempos de aleitamento materno exclusivo e total aquém do esperado, sendo a duração influenciada por características maternas e pela adequação do pré-natal no número de consultas e nas orientações sobre amamentação.DOI: 10.12957/demetra.2019.43189
