“…Saúde Pública, Rio de Janeiro, 27(5):953-965, mai, 2011 nizadas, com uma equipe adequadamente capacitada para o manejo do aleitamento materno e com o apoio do Banco de Leite Humano, como ótima estratégia para a promoção de maior duração do aleitamento materno nos recém-nascidos de baixo peso 3,6,7,8,9,10 . Entretanto, apesar da própria estratégia assinalar a importância da referência dos recém-nascidos de baixo peso às unidades básicas de saúde (UBS) após a alta hospitalar, esta ainda não prevê formas de integração entre ambos os serviços.…”

Visou-se a identificar os fatores associados à interrupção do aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME) de lactentes nascidos com baixo peso assistidos na Atenção Básica. Estudo transversal com 170 lactentes assistidos em unidades básicas de saúde (UBS) da periferia do Município de São Paulo, Brasil. Incluíram-se nascidos com peso ≤ 2.500g (inclusive gemelares), Apgar (5') ≥ 7 e acompanhados até o terceiro mês. Excluíram-se bebê/mãe com alterações que impedissem o AME e óbitos. Coletaram-se os dados utilizando-se formulários preenchidos nas consultas e prontuários. As razões de prevalência foram obtidas por regressão de Poisson. Identificou-se associado à interrupção do AME no terceiro mês: idade materna < 18 anos; vínculo empregatício informal (como fator de proteção); ingestão de álcool na gestação; < 6 consultas no pré-natal; gestação múltipla; peso ao nascer ≤ 2.000g; dificuldade na primeira mamada; queixa sobre a amamentação no primeiro mês; uso de chupeta no primeiro e segundo meses. O conhecimento desses fatores beneficia o planejamento de ações e políticas locais visando ao aumento da amamentação exclusiva dos lactentes nascidos com baixo peso.

“…[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] However, the definitions of the kangaroo method or kangaroo care that these authors have used are not uniform and vary depending on the institution described. The majority refer merely to the use of skin-to-skin contact at some point during the baby's hospital stay.…”

Objective: To evaluate the results of the kangaroo mother method in Brazil.Methods: A prospective cohort study comparing 16 units that have or do not have the second phase of the kangaroo mother method: eight were national centers of excellence for the kangaroo mother method (study group) and eight Conclusions:The evidence suggests that the humanization strategy adopted by the Brazilian Ministry of Health is a safe alternative to conventional treatment and a good strategy for promoting breastfeeding.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2008;84(5):428-435: Kangaroo mother care, low birth weight, humanization.

“…1 Since then it has been implanted in many countries [2][3][4][5] and can be employed as an alternative to technology or as a facilitator of mother-child bonding. 1 Although it is applied in a variety of manners, skin-to-skin contact is universal and is used as a synonymous to the method.…”

“…The majority of studies have focused on KMCP as a method of neonatal management, 2,4,6,9,11 with little attention being paid to the method as a technique for intervening in the development of the preterm infants. 10,12,13 Bearing in mind the variety of applications for KMCP in different countries, its recent systematization in Brazil (1999) The final sample comprised 70 children, 90% born at the HGIS and the remainder transferred at 1 day of age.…”

Objective: To describe the profile of premature newborns participating in the Kangaroo Mother Care Program and the data from, and to verify possible correlations between these descriptive data.Methods: A descriptive study of 70 children, 5-34 months old, born between April 1999 and 2002, with gestation age of 32.5 weeks, birth weight 1,560 g, participating in the Kangaroo Mother Care Program (modified for Brazil) for at least 3 days. They were discharged from Kangaroo Mother Care weighing around 3,000 g and followed-up to 1 year.Results: Birth weight, gestational age and Apgar scores were determinants of better clinical, nutritional and motor outcomes as well as for enrollment on the Kangaroo Mother Care Program. During the second phase of the program 8.6% of the children were readmitted due to apnea. Exclusive breastfeeding started at a mean postconceptual age of 35.3 weeks and mean age postpartum of 18.6 days. By hospital discharge, children were at a mean age of 29 days, mean weight of 1,734 g and 85.7% were on exclusive breastfeeding. Predominant breastfeeding up to 6 months of age was observed in 60.3%. We initially identified motor disorders in 42.8% decreasing to 14.3% in the final review of records, including cerebral palsy (6.9%) and retarded motor development (6.9%).Conclusions: Enrollment on the Kangaroo Mother Care Program, in common with data on breastfeeding and clinical outcomes were determined by gestational age and birth weight and were influenced by clinical conditions of each preterm infant. Kangaroo Mother Care proved itself a good breastfeeding instrument, but its role as an intervention for motor development must be better investigated.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2006;82(1):33-9: Kangaroo Mother Care, preterm newborn, prematurity, child development.

Kangaroo mother care in very low birth weight infants

Abstract: KMC managed babies had better weight gain, earlier hospital discharge and, more impressively, higher exclusive breast-feeding rates. KMC is an excellent adjunct to the routine preterm care in a nursery.
