“…25 The literature describes that breastfed infants have a lower risk of infection, notably gastroenteritis and respiratory tract infection, and sudden death. 26 For mothers, breastfeeding also has benefits, such as facilitating uterine involution, 27 lowering the risk of breast cancer, 28 and easier postpartum weight loss. 29 Several studies showed the protective effect of breast milk against OB.…”

Background: Early feeding practices have a critical role in the future not only in health but also in modulating eating habits. This study aimed to assess breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices and the nutritional status of Portuguese toddlers aged 0–36 months. Methods: EPACI Portugal 2012 is a cross-sectional study of a national representative sample. Trained interviewers collected data about early feeding practices and anthropometrics. Body mass index was classified according to World Health Organization criteria. Frequencies and survival analysis were used to characterize variables. Results: More than 90% of children were initiated breastfeeding, around 20% were exclusively breastfed for six months, and about 20% were breastfed at 12 months while complementary feeding was taking place. Exclusive breastfeeding was determined by maternal prepregnancy body mass index (HR 1.01; 95% CI 1.00, 1.03, P=.03) and low birth weight (HR 1.61; IC 95% 1.21, 2.15, P=.001) of the infants. About 90% were initiated complementary feeding between four and six months, and almost 10% were introduced to cow's milk before 12 months. In the second year of life, 83.2% and 61.6% of toddlers have already consumed nectars and sweet desserts, respectively. About one-third of Portuguese toddlers showed a body mass index z-score >1, and 6.6% were overweight/obese (z-score >2). No association was found between the duration of breastfeeding or timing of complementary feeding and the body mass index z-score in children. Conclusions: Despite the low prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding at six months, Portuguese infants effectively comply with dietary recommendations during the first year of life. The transition to the family diet must be carefully made. There is a high prevalence of Portuguese toddlers at least at overweight risk. The duration of breastfeeding or timing of complementary feeding was not associated with the expression of overweight/obesity.

“…Emzirmenin postpartum dönemdeki kilo değişimine etkisini değerlendiren araştırmalar incelendiğinde; annelerin bebeklerini tam emzirme, karma besleme veya sadece mama ile besleme davranış biçimlerinin, çalışma sonuçlarını etkilediği görülmüştür [59][60][61][62][63][64][65] . Postpartum 3. ayda 14330 kadın ve 6. ayda 4922 kadının incelendiği bir çalışmada, 3. ayda besleme yöntemlerine göre kilo tutulumu farklılık göstermezken, 6. ayda anlamlı fark bulunmuştur.…”

“…Çalışmada bebeğini tam emzirme ile besleyen annelerin diğer annelerden daha fazla enerji tükettikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır 60 . Bebeklerini sadece anne sütü ile besleyen kadınların, karma ya da sadece mama ile besleyen kadınlara oranla, 3. ve 6. ayda daha fazla kilo kaybettiği saptanmıştır 61 , tam emzirme ile besleyen kadınların karma besleyenlere göre doğum sonrası kilo kaybının daha hızlı olduğu bulunmuştur 62 . Bir çalışma kapsamında 6. aya kadar tam emziren ve 6.aydan sonra kısmi emzirmeye devam eden annelerin, emzirmeyle birlikte 3 yıla kadar kilo kontrolünü sağladığı bulunmuştur 63 .…”

Gebelik ve doğum sonrası dönem, kadınlarda kilo alımının arttığı bir dönemdir. Bu dönemde alınan kilo, kadında aşırı kilolu olma veya obezite gelişimine yol açabilmekte, anne ve bebek sağlığı üzerinde uzun vadeli olumsuz sonuçlara neden olabilmektedir. Doğum sonu süreçte, lohusa eski vücut ağırlığına dönmesine yardımcı mekanizmaları kullanma konusunda, ebeler ve diğer sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından desteklenmelidir. Bu yardımcı mekanizmalardan birisi de emzirme olarak kabul edilmektedir. Postpartum sürecin getirmiş olduğu doğal bir fonksiyon olan emzirme, lohusanın önceki vücut ağırlığına dönmesi ve obezitenin önlenmesinde önemli bir aktivite olarak görülmektedir. Kilo kontrolünde emzirmenin; egzersiz ve kalori alımının kısıtlanması gibi yöntemlerle desteklenmesi, süresinin uzatılması kilo kontrolündeki başarıyı arttırmaktadır. Bu nedenle anne ve bebek sağlığına getirdiği diğer olumlu katkıların yanı sıra kadınlarda obezite oluşumunun önlenmesi için emzirmenin başlatılması ve sürdürülmesi ebeler tarafından desteklenmelidir.

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the important indicators in achieving nutritional problems in children. Unfortunately, only 1 in 2 babies are exclusively breastfed in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to examine the factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding in the country. Design and Methods: Data were obtained from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), by using a cross-sectional design involving a total of 2,217 mothers. The independent variables include weaning food, knowledge, labor difficulties, postpartum visits, number of children, marital status, sex of children, and low birth weight (LBW), while the dependent variable include exclusive breastfeeding. Subsequently, chi-square test and logistic regression were used to examine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the related factors. Results: The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia was 36.5%. Bivariate analysis showed that the variables associated with exclusive breastfeeding were weaning feeding, knowledge, low birth weight, and difficulty in labor with p-values of 0.005, 0.000, 0.040, and 0.005, respectively. The most dominant variable for exclusive breastfeeding behavior is knowledge with a value of OR = 1.85. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between knowledge of mothers, weaning food, and low birth weight with exclusive breastfeeding behavior. Meanwhile, the main determinant among the variables is mother's knowledge. Therefore, health workers and community service cadres need to provide counseling about health, assistance, and motivation to mothers, thereby they will be able to properly provide exclusive breastfeeding.
