“…gen, aber auch aus falsch interpretierten wissenschaftlichen Beobachtungen über die Magenentleerung des Säuglings, wurde von den Kinderärzten Anfang des letzten Jahrhunderts ein Stillschema mit 5 Mahlzeiten und festen Stillzeiten entwickelt, das eine nächtliche Ruhepause von 8 Stunden vorsah [2]. Nach der Entbindung wurden die Säuglinge von den Müttern getrennt, die sie frühestens nach 24 Stunden erstmals an die Brust nehmen durften.…”

Zusammenfassung · Abstract 75.2 %-78.1 %) of the children were ever breastfed. The rate of ever-breastfed children was significantly lower in mothers from socially disadvantaged population groups, children of mothers who had smoked during pregnancy or in situations with problems after birth. Children with migration background were more frequently ever-breastfed than children without migration background. The average duration of breastfeeding was -across all age-groups -6.9 months (95 % CI: 6.8-7.0); the duration of full breastfeeding was 4.6 months (95 % CI: 4.5-4.7) on average. 22.4 % (95 % CI: 21.4 %-23.5 %) of

“…Though many lactation education programs now recommend responsive feeding as best practice for successful breastfeeding [ 36 ], alternate recommendations also exist. For example, starting in the 18th century, European male pediatricians recommended that infants be fed on a strictly regulated schedule [ 37 ], a practice which is still promoted today, both informally by parenting blogs and in certain health care settings. Waiting for crying and feeding on a set schedule are both problematic, because they neglect the ability of infants to communicate their hunger, creating a mismatch between infant hunger and feeding time.…”

Mother–Infant Physical Contact Predicts Responsive Feeding among U.S. Breastfeeding Mothers

Responsive feeding—initiating feeding in response to early hunger cues—supports the physiology of lactation and the development of infant feeding abilities, yet there is a dearth of research examining what predicts responsive feeding. In non-Western proximal care cultures, there is an association between responsive feeding and mother–infant physical contact, but this has not been investigated within Western populations. In two studies, we tested whether mother–infant physical contact predicted feeding in response to early hunger cues versus feeding on a schedule or after signs of distress among U.S. breastfeeding mothers. With an online questionnaire in Study 1 (n = 626), physical contact with infants (via co-sleeping and babywearing) predicted increased likelihood of self-reported responsive feeding. Mothers who reported responsive feeding were more likely to exclusively breastfeed for the first six months, breastfeed more frequently throughout the day, and had a longer planned breastfeeding duration than mothers who reported feeding on a schedule or after signs of infant distress. In Study 2 (n = 96), a three-day feeding log showed that mother–infant physical contact predicted feeding in response to early hunger cues but mother–infant proximity (without physical contact) did not. In sum, our results demonstrate that physical contact with infants may shape breastfeeding behavior among U.S. mothers, highlighting a connection between social interaction and infant nutrition that warrants further investigation.

“…This programme promised benefits for both the infant and the mother and was already realised during the hospital stay by accommodation of mother and child in the same room (rooming-in). This diametrically opposed change quickly entered into the paediatric hand-and textbooks, as the nutritional physiology models could not be countered [75]. Also in the popular West German breastfeeding handbooks of the 1960/1970s, the strong emphasis on breastfeeding as a condition for the healthy development of infants was softened in favour of artificial feeding-already from the third or fourth week after birth.…”

Breastfeeding is considered to be the key variable for infant health. Consequently, UNICEF and the World Health Organization promote the beginning of breastfeeding within the first hour after birth and recommend to exclusively breastfeed the infant during the first six months. The origins of these modern breastfeeding campaigns can be traced back to the beginning of the twentieth century. Whereas high infant mortality rates traditionally were considered to be a matter of fate and the declining birth rates towards the end of the nineteenth century raised fears about the nation's future and led to the emergence of an increasing infant welfare movement in imperial Germany. As low breastfeeding rates were identified as a key factor behind the high infant mortality rates, the main objective of the infant care movement was to increase breastfeeding. The paper examines how the context of infant care and infant mortality was constructed and how breastfeeding campaigns in the context of infant mortality, breastfeeding rates and socio-political changes developed during the twentieth century. Thus the paper covers the period from the beginnings of social paediatrics at the beginning of the 20th century, the breastfeeding campaigns embedded into Nazi ideology during the Third Reich, until the declining breastfeeding ratios and the "feeding on demand"-movement in the 1970s as well as the ideological differences between West and East Germany during the Cold War.
