“…In Côté‐Arsenault et al. 's study, only healthy term infants were evaluated and two lactation consultant assessed swallow counts, but there were clinically important discrepancies. One of the limitation of that study was evaluation of the recordings was not well due to infant position and sound quality.…”

“…While intra-oral vacuum is important to milk removal, excessive intra-oral vacuum has been associated with nipple pain. More than 60 years ago Gunther reported a sucking intra-oral vacuum up to −200 mmHg in a 2 day-old infant that was associated with nipple pain and damage [ 144 ]. Recently, McClellan et al [ 145 ] reported that infants of mothers with persistent nipple pain exerted stronger mean baseline (pain: −91 mmHg; no pain −51 mmHg) and peak intra-oral vacuums (pain: −214 mmHg; no pain: −153 mmHg).…”

Researchers have recently called for human lactation research to be conceptualized as a biological framework where maternal and infant factors impacting human milk, in terms of composition, volume and energy content are studied along with relationships to infant growth, development and health. This approach allows for the development of evidence-based interventions that are more likely to support breastfeeding and lactation in pursuit of global breastfeeding goals. Here we summarize the seminal findings of our research programme using a biological systems approach traversing breast anatomy, milk secretion, physiology of milk removal with respect to breastfeeding and expression, milk composition and infant intake, and infant gastric emptying, culminating in the exploration of relationships with infant growth, development of body composition, and health. This approach has allowed the translation of the findings with respect to education, and clinical practice. It also sets a foundation for improved study design for future investigations in human lactation.

BackgroundObservation method of assessing breastmilk intake (BI) by observing medical indices has less interference in breastfeeding than test-weighing method, but for the calculation certain influential predictor variables had not been recognized and needed to be further studied. MethodInfants between 1 and 12 months were enrolled in a hospital of Shenzhen city in northern China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a sample of mother-infant dyads. A breastfeeding session of each participating mother subject was observed in the clinic. 150 mother-infant dyads were adopted for data analysis. BI was measured by test-weighing method. Sucking time (ST), Information of maternal and infant health, maternal breast, and infant feeding practice were collected. ResultsThere was a relationship between sucking time and breastmilk intake per breastfeeding session (r=0.57, p<0.05). In the 4 multilevel models (r>0.6, p<0.05) established to estimate breastmilk intake the best fit multilevel model was to estimate breastmilk intake per kg (infant weight) for 1-4-month infants (R2=0.53, p<0.05). Sucking time as the key variable and other factors including infant birth weight/ birth weight, breast side, maternal BMI, maternal vocation significantly had effect on breastmilk intake and those factors that remained significant varied according to different age groups. ConclusionsSucking time had a significant association with breastmilk intake in a breastfeeding session. Establishing multilevel models based on sucking time to estimate breastmilk intake per infant weight for specific age group of infants greatly improved the effectiveness. But the accuracy of the estimation needed to be improved for further application in telemedicine.
