“…The practice of using fl uids during the postpartum period discontinued EBF and resulted in a low prevalence of EBF by the end of the fi rst month of 37.8% (Abuidhail et al, 2014). In this study the most common complementary feeding was herbal fl uids and the most common herbs that had been used were yansoon, which is scientifi cally known as aniseed (Pimpinella anisum) and babonij, known scientifi cally as chamomilla (Chamomilla recutita) (Yearwood, 2007).…”

“…Infantile colic was the major problem that postpartum mothers were trying to treat using these herbal fl uids. Scientifi cally, the hot water extracts of the aniseed seeds have been introduced to children above 1 year old and adults as a herbal medicine because they have diuretic, laxative, expectorant, and antispasmodic actions, and because of their ability to ease intestinal colic and fl atulence (Yearwood, 2007). Similarly, chamomilla has been used for its pharmacological actions that are anti-infl ammatory, spasmolytic, vulnerary antimicrobial, mildly sedative, antispasmodic, and antiseptic properties (Yearwood, 2007).…”

Postpartum Jordanian women value colostrum and breastfeed it to their infants. However, they generally start introducing complementary feeding to their infants during the postpartum period, which would discontinue exclusive breastfeeding practices and alter the nutritional status of the infants later in their life. Therefore, nurses and midwives should emphasize, through their antenatal and postnatal care, the recommended practices of exclusive breastfeeding up to the sixth month and complementary feeding.

“…In her study of child healthcare among Caribbean women in the United States, Yearwood () points out that the quality of a family's past biomedical encounters may also have a bearing on the child or family's pathways to care. In multicultural contexts, differences in interpretation and narrative practices can result in communication difficulties within clinical encounters (Crushell et al .…”

In Montreal, Quebec, 31% of the population is born outside Canada. Yet, only 9% of patient consultations for symptoms associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are from immigrants at the Paediatric Gastroenterology Clinic at Sainte-Justine's University Hospital Centre. This discrepancy inspired a multidisciplinary exploratory study (anthropological and paediatric) to examine the sociological, interpretative and pragmatic aspects of immigrant and non-immigrant patients and family life with FGIDs. This paper examines the discrepancy between immigrant and non-immigrant paediatric patients with FGIDs and presents the different pathways to care utilised by families. Semi-structured interviews were carried out between November 2008 and June 2009, with children and their parents. In total, 38 families were recruited: with 27 families (including a child experiencing abdominal pain, his/her siblings, mother and/or father as well as any other significant individual living in the family home) from the community and 11 from the paediatric gastroenterology clinic. A comparative analysis between the immigrant and non-immigrant groups focused on perceptions, meanings and actions taken to relieve/alleviate symptoms. Immigrant and non-immigrant families alternate and combine different therapeutic environments: home, alternative healing therapies and medical paths to care. Our analysis suggests that culture (as a set of values, beliefs and ways of being), as well as social interactions within family life and the clinic, shape pathways to care. The analysis highlights the centrality of receptiveness--and more widely the social dimensions--of all medical encounters. Treatment disparities between immigrant and non-immigrant families in pathways to care help us to understand these patients' social world and the intricate relationships between values and social milieux, between culture, practices of symptom management and rationales guiding diverse therapeutic actions.

“…Consequentemente, repercute nas mulheres da família, as quais acabam desempenhando ações e decisões de natureza doméstica, como as relativas ao cuidado direto da criança, à lactação, à lavoura e ao artesanato, ou seja, trabalhos de índole feminina (Gomes, 2006). Tal tipo de apoio familiar e social também foi encontrado num estudo com mulheres do Caribe (Yearwood, 2007), ao referir as mães que recebiam suporte da família extensa, baseados em suas crenças e práticas culturais quando uma criança adoecia.…”

“…Situação similar à descrita por Yearwood (2007) acontece na cultura Kabano, onde, geralmente, o apoio recebido da rede familiar envolve a outras mulheres do contexto como as irmãs, avós, e até as crianças mais velhas (Yearwood, 2007).…”
