“…130 A Krakow prospective birth cohort study revealed that breastfeeding alone positively associates with an increase in IQ of toddlers by 1 year of age and this effect persists through the preschool period. 131 A causal relationship of breastfeeding duration and receptive language and verbal and nonverbal intelligence in school age children (3 and 7 years of age) was established in a U.S. cohort representing 1312 mothers and children. 132 Eight-year-old children who were breastfed for 6 months or more performed better in a general intellectual assessment test.…”

Abundant evidence exists linking maternal and paternal environments from pericopconception through the postnatal period to later risk to offspring diseases. This concept was first articulated by the late Sir David Barker and as such coined the Barker Hypothesis. The term was then mutated to Fetal Origins of Adult Disease and finally broadened to developmental origins of adult health and disease (DOHaD) in recognition that the perinatal environment can shape both health and disease in resulting offspring. Developmental exposure to various factors, including stress, obesity, caloric-rich diets and environmental chemicals can lead to detrimental offspring health outcomes. However, less attention has been paid to date on measures that parents can take to promote the long-term health of their offspring. In essence, have we neglected to consider the ‘H’ in DOHaD? It is the ‘H’ component that should be of primary concern to expecting mothers and fathers and those seeking to have children. While it may not be possible to eliminate exposure to all pernicious factors, prevention/remediation strategies may tip the scale to health rather than disease. By understanding disruptive DOHaD mechanisms, it may also illuminate behavioral modifications that parents can adapt before fertilization and throughout the neonatal period to promote the lifelong health of their male and female offspring. Three possibilities will be explored in the current review: parental exercise, probiotic supplementation and breastfeeding in the case of mothers. The ‘H’ paradigm should be the focus going forward as a healthy start can indeed last a lifetime.

“…2 One of good nutrition for an optimal fulfillment is exclusive breastfeeding provided to infants from 0 to 6 months. 5 According to Lind et al, 6 breastfeeding heightens interaction between mother and infant. Breastfeeding improves the mother-and child interaction which is important for cognitive and socio-emotional development of the infants.…”

Impaired emotional development is a problem faced by children and this can negatively impact on function, development and readiness of their school. Exclusive breastfeeding can meet brain development needs that affect child development. This study aimed to determine correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and emotional development of children aged 48-60 months. This study used historical cohort.The subjects of this study were 7-12-month old infants living in area of Borobudur Primary Health, Central Java Province, Indonesia in 2011-2012. Independent variable of exclusive breastfeeding was when infants received only breast milk without any supplementary food or drink including water since birth until the age of 6 months. Data were obtained from medical records of children. The emotional development was assessed directly by using questionnaires on emotional and mental problems. Data analysis used cox regression. This study found that provision of exclusive breast feeding was evidently correlated with the child's emotional development. Infants who did not receive exclusive breastfeeding had 2.96 higher risk of having abnormal emotional development than infants who received exclusive breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding greatly influences emotional development of the children. Keywords: Children aged 48-60 months, emotional development, exclusive breastfeeding Abstrak Gangguan perkembangan emosional adalah masalah yang dihadapi anak-anak dan hal ini dapat berdampak negatif terhadap fungsi, perkembangan dan kesiapan sekolah mereka. Pemberian ASI eksklusif mampu memenuhi kebutuhan perkembangan otak yang memengaruhi perkembangan anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pemberian ASI eksklusif dan perkembangan emosional anak usia 48-60 bulan. Penelitian ini menggunakan kohort historis. Subyek penelitian adalah bayi berusia 7-12 bulan yang tinggal di wilayah Puskesmas Borobudur, Provinsi Jawa Tengah, Indonesia tahun 2011-2012. Variabel bebas pemberian ASI eksklusif adalah saat bayi hanya menerima ASI tanpa tambahan makanan atau minuman termasuk air sejak lahir sampai usia 6 bulan. Data diperoleh dari rekam medis anak. Perkembangan emosional dinilai langsung dengan menggunakan kuesioner mengenai masalah kejiwaan dan emosional. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan cox regression. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pemberian ASI eksklusif terbukti berkorelasi dengan perkembangan emosional anak. Bayi yang tidak mendapatkan ASI eksklusif memiliki risiko lebih tinggi 2,96 kali mengalami perkembangan emosional abnormal dibandingkan bayi yang mendapatkan ASI eksklusif. ASI ekslusif berpengaruh besar terhadap perkembangan anak. Kata kunci: Anak usia 48-60 bulan, perkembangan emosi, ASI eksklusif

“…6,7 Diversi studi hanno inoltre dimostrato che l'allattamento esclusivo al seno non solo migliora i parametri di crescita, ma favorisce anche un miglior sviluppo neuro-comportamentale. 8 Di rilevanza non trascurabile è infine il ruolo che l'allattamento al seno riveste nel rapporto mamma-neonato, con i conseguenti benefici sullo sviluppo delle competenze genitoriali. Per questi motivi il latte materno è l'alimento raccomandato dall'Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità (OMS) e dall'UNICEF come forma esclusiva di nutrimento per i primi sei mesi di vita e come costituente fondamentale, opportunamente integrato con altri alimenti, nel periodo del divezzamento.…”

RiassuntoOBIETTIVI: valutare durata media e prevalenza dell'allattamento al seno nei primi sei mesi di vita in neonati sani nati a termine e individuare le possibili cause responsabili della precoce sospensione. METODI: studio osservazionale, prospettico. Sono state arruolate 100 donne non fumatrici, di razza caucasica, intenzionate ad allattare per almeno 12 settimane. La raccolta dati è avvenuta tramite 3 questionari (somministrati all'arruolamento, 7 giorni, 1, 2, 3 e 6 mesi), volti a indagare parametri antropometrici, modalità di parto, condizioni socio-demografiche, tipo e modalità di allattamento, cause di eventuale sospensione. RISULTATI: l'allattamento esclusivo al seno si riduce progressivamente dal settimo giorno al sesto mese di vita. La maggioranza delle interruzioni avviene nel primo mese e mezzo e dopo tre mesi e mezzo di vita. A 7 giorni la percentuale di sospensione è il 2%, a 6 mesi il 14%. La sospensione cumulativa al sesto mese di vita è del 45%. Nei primi 7 giorni di vita la sospensione dell'allattamento sembra principalmente secondaria a fattori materni (insorgenza di ragadi o assenza/ritardo della montata lattea). Nei mesi successivi le cause più significative sono la mancanza di quantità di latte materno sufficienti e la difficoltà nell'attacco al seno. Le variabili significativamente associate ad una maggiore durata dell'allattamento sono la frequentazione del corso pre-parto e una precedente esperienza positiva di allattamento al seno. CONCLUSIONI: Un adeguato supporto alle mamme, sia attraverso il corso pre-parto, sia con un opportuno sostegno nelle epoche successive al parto, sembrano essere i fattori maggiormente suscettibili di miglioramento. AbstractOBJECTIVES: to assess the mean duration, prevalence and reasons that lead to an early cessation of breastfeeding in a group of healthy term infants in the first six months of life. METHODS: prospective, observational study. One-hundred Caucasian, non smoking mothers, that intended to breastfeed for at least 12 weeks, were enrolled. Information on anthropometric parameters, type of delivery, socio-demographic characteristics, mode of feeding and reasons for stopping breastfeeding have been obtained through three different questionnaires (submitted at enrollment, on the 7th day, at 1, 2, 3 and 6 months). RESULTS: exclusive breastfeeding gradually decreased from the 7 th day to the 6 th month of life. Most of the mothers stopped breastfeeding during the first month and a half or after 3 months and a half. Two percent of the mothers stopped on the 7th day whereas at 6 months the percentage of cessation was 14%. The cumulative percentage of interruption at 6 th month was 45%. Maternal factors, like sore nipples or delayed onset of lactation, were the most frequent reasons that led to an early cessation, while during the following months inadequate breast milk and latch-on problems were predominant. On the other hand, attending a pre-natal course or having a previous successful breastfeeding experience were significantly associated with a long...
