Abstract:Objective: to measure the effect of an infant stimulation therapy (auditory, tactile, visual and vestibular) on the adaptation to postnatal life of the mother-child dyad. Method: an experimental and blind study composed of 120 dyads of first-time mothers and full-term newborns, who practiced breastfeeding. The follow-up was conducted during the first five weeks of life and the evaluation was carried at two different times. Results: the adaptive capacity was measured in two modes. The physiological adaptive m… Show more
“…Design. This article shows a secondary analysis from a larger study on the effect of infant stimulation on adaptation to birth, ( 14 ) a single-blinded randomized controlled trial study with two groups -experimental group (EG) and control group (CG)- and random allocation. The EG mothers were trained in ATVV therapy following the adapted Rice’s protocol(9) and received the standard care.…”

“…For the last follow-up, participants’ distribution was CG=53 and EG=54. To see the participant flow diagram, refer to the article entitled "Effect of infant stimulation on birth adjustment: a randomized trial.”( 14 )…”
Objective. The study aimed to measure the effect of auditory, tactile, visual, and vestibular (ATVV) stimulation therapy on sucking effectiveness (SE), infant-feeding mode, weight, height, and head circumference (HC) of full-term infants.
Methods. A single-blinded randomized trial with a sample of 107 mother-child dyads. Inclusion criteria were healthy first-time mothers and full-term infants with no known pathological conditions, weighing between 2500 and 4000 grams, and recommendation of exclusive or predominant breastfeeding. The mothers in the experimental group (EG) received training in ATVV stimulation therapy and provided it from birth (first 24 hours of life) until the end of the follow-ups at week 5. The control group (CG) received only standard care that included education on warning signs and basic guidance on breastfeeding. SE, infant-feeding mode, and neonatal growth were measured at weeks 2 and 5.
Results. In contrast to CG infants, the EG infants drank 2.02 cc more human milk in one minute of effective breastfeeding (p=0.002) at week 2 and 5.51 cc more at week 5 (p<0.0001). They showed greater adherence to breastfeeding at week 5 (p=0.025) and gained more weight: 8.35 grams/day (p=0.009) and 4.19 grams/day (p=0.008). HC did not differ between groups, and height difference was statistically significant at week 5 (p=0.025).
Conclusion. ATVV stimulation therapy has a positive effect on neonatal health as it promotes effective sucking and exclusive breastfeeding, reduces weight loss, and improves neonatal growth.

“…In the judges' opinion, the content was clear enough to help them learn how to deal with the baby's illness during the pandemic and understand the importance of affective care for their newborn child. Thus, knowledge of early attention to child development was transmitted and could be assimilated by mothers, both particularly important for the exercise of parenting (Yue et al, 2017;Zhong, He, Gao, Wang & Luo, 2020) and for the formation of the emotional bond between mother and child (Gualdrón & Villalobos, 2019).…”

“…The psychophysiological process of breastfeeding is directly associated with stress, with impacts on the production of neurohormones such as oxytocin (Mendes & Lazzari, 2020). Oxytocin is responsible for the breast milk production (Russo & Nucci, 2020) and the formation of the emotional bond between mother and baby (Esselmont, Moreau, Aglipay & Pound, 2018), which is important for the child's development (Gualdrón & Villalobos, 2019).…”
With the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of coping strategies to face the stress generated by the worldwide crisis of the new coronavirus became mandatory. Based on this, the purpose of this article is to analyze multimedia resources on video format for the digital platform Instagram as health education strategies to help puerperal women and their support networks during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a descriptive methodological study based on the evaluation of content validity criterion by 21 postnatal judges, with an average age of 29.38 years. Most of them lived in the southeastern region of Brazil (n = 20) and had higher education (52.38%), followed by high school (38.09%). Content Validity Coefficients (CVC) ≥ 0.80 were adopted to validate language clarity, relevance, pertinence, and presentation of the videos. All CVC of the from the Series “Breastfeeding” were satisfactory between ≥ 0.85 and 1. With the exception of the 4th video (CVC ≥ 0.73) the videos from the Series “Neonatal Care” obtained CVC between ≥0,86 and 1. These results indicate that the target population considered the videos relevant, adequate, easy to understand and aesthetically pleasing. Accordingly, multimedia resources in video format can be considered a valid tool for the educational health proposal. Thus, the videos could help women during the postpartum period and their families to cope with the stress from the COVID-19 pandemic.
