Feeding Twins with Human Milk and Factors Associated with Its Duration: A Qualitative and Quantitative Study in Southern Italy

Abstract: Background: Over the past year, there has been a rise in twin births. The current scientific consensus recommended breast-feed milk for all newborns for at least 6 months. They stated that it is possible to meet the nutritional needs of two or more newborns with only one mother’s milk. More information would be desirable about the factors that influence or lead to the initiation and interruption of breastfeeding. The quality of the evidence available from multiple studies has been inconclusive and therefore le… Show more

“…The participants defined breastfeeding in tandem as a kind of teamwork that facilitated the achievement of their physical and emotional goals, in contrast to previously reported findings about breastfeeding twins, where mothers express concerns about insufficient milk production and stress generated by breastfeeding two children, factors that can lead to their abandonment of breastfeeding (Quitadamo et al, 2021). Our finding is important; it implies that health professionals must improve their understanding of the advantages of tandem breastfeeding for its proper promotion, moving away from the prejudices and myths that undermine it.…”

“…В этом исследовании, выполненном в Австралии, отмечено, что в течение первого часа после рождения инициация грудного вскармливания имела место лишь у 21,1% поздних недоношенных в сравнении с 41,5% ранних доношенных. Обоснована значимость психологической поддержки матери со стороны материнских работников и членов семьи для успешного продолжительного грудного вскармливания поздних недоношенных [31,32].…”

“…Фактор многоплодия находился в достоверной обратной связи с грудным вскармливанием. Как известно, в последние десятилетия частота многоплодия существенно выросла, это связано с широким распространением вспомогательных репродуктивных технологий, причем среди детей от многоплодной беременности преобладают недоношенные [32,33]. Так, в когортном исследовании, выполненном в Италии, 87% близнецов были недоношенными, причем почти 40% имели гестационный возраст 35-36 нед.…”
