“…The same disagreement occurred with the variable maternal occupation, frequently associated with early weaning, given that this practice can be related to women's return to their work activities. (21) The result described in the present study may be explained by the moment of the postpartum period in which women were assisted (around 20 days after childbirth) and the length of paid maternity leave (between four and six months) in Brazil. (8) Regarding level of education, most postpartum women who were performing exclusive breastfeeding studied up to eight years, that is, finished their education at elementary school.…”

“…Studies reported that early weaning is more common among younger women (< 20 years) than among older women (>30 years). (20,21) This divergence may be explained by the higher number of women undergoing exclusive breastfeeding who had already had a breastfeeding experience.…”

“…This result is compatible with studies which report a higher level of education as a precursor of greater access to information on breastfeeding and motivation to carry it out, which resulted in a longer breastfeeding period. (13,21) In addition to women's characteristics, previous experience has been considered one of the factors that contribute to prolonged breastfeeding, (25) and may be more influential than maternal age. Previous experience proved significantly related to the maintenance of breastfeeding in the present investigation, reinforcing the findings of other studies.…”

“…Previous experience proved significantly related to the maintenance of breastfeeding in the present investigation, reinforcing the findings of other studies. (21,26) Having breastfed other children helps women face the first days of adaptation with the newborn more easily, which favors a long-lasting breastfeeding. (20,21) Regarding women's physical aspects, the present study showed that most women had protruding nipples, a characteristic that was associated with the breastfeeding practice.…”

Resumo Objetivo Analisar a associação entre o tipo de aleitamento e as dificuldades relacionadas à essa prática entre mulheres e crianças assistidas em um ambulatório especializado em amamentação. Métodos Estudo transversal retrospectivo realizado por meio da análise de prontuários de crianças e mulheres atendidas entre 2004 e 2016 em um ambulatório especializado em aleitamento materno. Foram excluídos os registros referentes às mulheres com gestação múltipla e àqueles não realizados em formulário padrão, totalizando 1.608 prontuários. Utilizaram-se os testes Qui-Quadrado e Kruskal-Wallis para comparar o tipo de aleitamento materno com variáveis categóricas; e com os dias de vida e idade materna, respectivamente. O teste Mann-Whitney utilizou-se para comparar a frequência do aleitamento materno exclusivo. Resultados O aleitamento materno exclusivo foi praticado por 72,6% das mulheres atendidas, nos primeiros 30 dias após o parto. Houve associação significativa entre esta prática e as dificuldades: percepção materna quanto à quantidade de leite produzida, de mamas cheias antes das mamadas, de vazamento de leite e extração manual do leite com facilidade; posicionamento materno e da criança, preensão, sucção e deglutição da criança adequados; além das variáveis: maior escolaridade, situação conjugal estável; ter tido experiência prévia com aleitamento materno, ter mamilos protrusos, ter realizado contato precoce pele a pele, ter filhos com menor média de dias de idade e que faziam uso de chupeta. Conclusão O aleitamento materno exclusivo foi o mais prevalente nos primeiros 30 dias pós-parto e diversas variáveis maternas e neonatais estiveram associadas à essa prática no primeiro atendimento em ambulatório especializado.

Background:Care of pregnant lady during antenatal period is the key to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity during pregnancy and child birth and futher improving the growth and development of the newborn. Optimal weight gain in the initial 6 months is very essential. Therefore, study aims to assess antenatal, intranatal and postnatal factors affecting the growth of newborn child. Methods:A Community based cross sectional study was conducted twice – at delivery and second after 6 months. A total of 220 ladies delivered at QMH, King Georges Medical University, Lucknow between August-2016 to September-2017 were included. WHO Standards were used to calculate the deviation from normal growth. Data was entered in SPSS-23 and assessment was made for factors affecting the growth of newborn. Results:At the time of birth the weight, length and head circumference of newborn was measured. Normal weight, length and H.C of ±2 SD was seen in 91%, 88%, 94% males respectively and 87.8%, 97.8 and 73.3% females. Repeat measurements at 6 month age of newborn showed normal weight, length and H.C in 62%, 58% and 87% males respectively and 87.8%, 74.4% and 96.7% females. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of factors revealed that growth of newborn upto 6 months was significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding (OR 0.161; 95% CI 0.053-0.492; p=0.001), Illness in past 6 months (OR 6.820; 95%CI 2.376-19.579; p<0.001) low birth weight (OR 0.101; 95% CI 0.015-0.665; p=0.017). Conclusions:Although adherence to the proper schedule of antenatal, intranatal and postnatal visits and care varies between individuals and over time, the factors can be addressed with periodic counselling and motivation of pregnant ladies and their families.

Sex‐biased parental investment and female wealth accumulation in ancientCalifornia

ObjectivesThe mortuary record at Middle Period site Kalawwasa Rummeytak (CA‐SCL‐134) (2600‐1225 cal BP) in California's southern Santa Clara Valley shows pronounced wealth inequality; Olivella shell bead wealth, as well as other grave goods, are concentrated in the burials of several older adult females. The concentration of wealth among women, along with regional strontium isotopic evidence of male‐biased residential shifts in early adulthood, suggests a matrilineal kinship system that practiced matrilocal post‐marital residence patterns. We suggest local resource enhancement effects incentivized keeping women in their natal communities and investing more in female offspring.Materials and MethodsWith the consent of, and in collaboration with, the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area, this paper employs isotopic analysis (δ15N and δ13C, 86Sr/87Sr) to examine duration of exclusive breastfeeding, weaning age (complete cessation of breastmilk consumption), early childhood diet, and lifetime residential mobility of individuals interred at Kalawwasa Rummeytak to test the assumption that the site inhabitants favored matrilocality and that female offspring received greater levels of investment in groups with female wealth/status attainment. First molars, third molars, and bone was sampled from 22 individuals.ResultsThe average weaning age for females at Kalawwasa Rummeytak is 36.3 months ± 9.7 (1 SD), or just over 3 years. The average weaning age for males is 31.2 ± 7.9 months (1 SD), or about 2.6 years. Infants at the site were provisioned with supplemental foods dominated by C3 plants and terrestrial herbivores, as well as anadromous fish. After weaning, individuals consumed a diet dominated by acorns, C3 plants, and terrestrial herbivores, with periodic inclusion of anadromous fish. 30% of the sampled population of females exhibit local first molar 87Sr/86Sr values, suggesting that Kalawwasa Rummeytak is their natal community. None of the males interred at the site are locals.DiscussionDespite the small sample size often unavoidable in archaeological contexts, we find possible female‐biased parental investment strategies. Cessation of breastfeeding (weaning) was, on average, 5 months earlier for males compared to females. There are no differences between females and males in the consumption of supplemental or post‐weaning foods. Strontium data suggest a flexible postmarital residence system that favored matrilocality. This may have incentivized greater investment in female offspring.
