“…Barr et al [1989] reported that breast-fed infants have a more difficult temperament than those who were formulafed and, therefore, attracted significantly more time and attention than those children. A study done by Wiberg et al [1989] showed that mothers who had had closer contact with their infants presented a higher prevalence and a longer duration of breast-feeding. We suspect this closer contact may foster the transmission of oral biota from mothers to their infants.…”

Our previous study reported that the fidelity of mutans streptococci (MS) transmission from mother to infant was gender– and race–specific within a Birmingham, Ala., population. We hypothesized that fidelity might be a function of postnatal nurturing practices. The purpose of the present study was to investigate those factors that could be correlated with MS transmission among Chinese children whose nurturing histories were known. Forty–eight families with 2– to 3–year–old children were selected from two kindergartens of Beijing, China. A questionnaire concerning the childhood nursing practice was obtained from the parents. Dental caries status was examined, and bacterial samples were collected for all participants twice at 6–month intervals. An average of six isolates of MS was picked at random from selective medium from each individual at each visit. Chromosomal DNA fingerprints were performed for all MS isolates to determine the genomic similarity within each family and among individuals. The results showed that 66% of the children at 2–3 years of age harbored MS, and 46% were caries–active. Of those children, 70% were breast–fed. Among the children whose chromosomal DNA fingerprint genotypes of MS matched that of their mothers, 88% were breast–fed compared with only 12% who were not breast–fed (p = 0.03). We also found that children who were breast–fed for more than 9 months were likely to harbor strains of MS common to their mothers (p = 0.04) and experience more dental caries (dmft = 4.4) at 3 years of age compared with children who were breast–fed less than 9 months (dmft = 1.4, p = 0.04). The data suggest that breast–feeding, especially prolonged breast–feeding, may correlate with the fidelity of transmission and that prolonged breast–feeding may contribute to a higher caries rate.

ABSTRACT. Considerable advances have occurred in recent years in the scientific knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding, the mechanisms underlying these benefits, and in the clinical management of breastfeeding. This policy statement on breastfeeding replaces the 1997 policy statement of the American Academy of Pediatrics and reflects this newer knowledge and the supporting publications. The benefits of breastfeeding for the infant, the mother, and the community are summarized, and recommendations to guide the pediatrician and other health care professionals in assisting mothers in the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding for healthy term infants and high-risk infants are presented. The policy statement delineates various ways in which pediatricians can promote, protect, and support breastfeeding not only in their individual practices but also in the hospital, medical school, community, and nation.

AAP, American Academy of Pediatrics; WIC, Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children; CMV, cytomegalovirus; G6PD, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. INTRODUCTIONE xtensive research using improved epidemiologic methods and modern laboratory techniques documents diverse and compelling advantages for infants, mothers, families, and society from breastfeeding and use of human milk for infant feeding. 1 These advantages include health, nutritional, immunologic, developmental, psychologic, social, economic, and environmental benefits. In 1997, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published the policy statement Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk. 2 Since then, significant advances in science and clinical medicine have occurred. This revision cites substantial new research on the importance of breastfeeding and sets forth principles to guide pediatricians and other health care professionals in assisting women and children in the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding. The ways pediatricians can protect, promote, and support breastfeeding in their individual practices, hospitals, medical schools, and communities are delineated, and the central role of the pediatrician in coordinating breastfeeding management and providing a medical home for the child is emphasized. 3 THE NEED Child Health BenefitsHuman milk is species-specific, and all substitute feeding preparations differ markedly from it, making human milk uniquely superior for infant feeding. 12 Exclusive breastfeeding is the reference or normative model against which all alternative feeding methods must be measured with regard to growth, health, development, and all other short-and long-term outcomes. In addition, human milk-fed premature infants receive significant benefits with respect to host protection and improved developmental outcomes compared with formula-fed premature infants. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] From studies in preterm and term infants, the following outcomes have been documented. Infectious Dise...

“…To collect data about these aspects is the main interest of the present study. Existing empirical evidences show that maternal attachment during pregnancy (for example, Fuller, 1990;Kemp et al, 1990) or immediately after delivery (for example, Cernadas et al, 2003) is associated with the quality of the mother-to-infant interaction and care (namely breastfeeding), which interfere in the child development (for example, Wiberg et al, 1989). Few are the studies that focus on the parent's emotional involvement with the newborn, and almost all are about mothers, so practically no information exists about fathers (Robson & Mandel, 1985).…”

While infant attachment has been largely studied, parental attachment is still relatively unknown, especially when referred to fathers. However, it is mainly recognised that parents' emotional involvement with the newborn contributes to the quality of the interaction and the care they provide. The aim of this study was to study mother-to-infant and father-to-infant initial emotional involvement; namely, differences between mothers and fathers and changes in mother's emotions toward the neonate within the first days after delivery. The Bonding Scale, an extended Portuguese version of the 'New Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale', was administered during the first two days after childbirth to a sample of 315 mothers and 141 fathers (n = 456), at the Júlio Dinis Maternity Hospital (Portugal). Most mothers and fathers show positive emotions and only a few of them showed negative emotions toward the infant. Maternal and paternal emotional involvement toward the newborn tend to be similar; nevertheless, fathers show less fear and better emotional involvement with the neonate, while mothers are sadder and show more emotions not related to bonding. During the first days following delivery, emotions not related to bonding, such as fear, seem to decrease in mothers.
