“…Previous studies have also observed such protective effect of exclusive breastfeeding on morbidity [10, 11, 13, 19, 20]. In looking at the relationship between the type of breastfeeding and specific morbidities, we found a decreased risk of diarrhoea and respiratory infections in infants who were exclusively breastfed as already reported by others [10, 11, 15, 21-23]…”

Background This study examines the effect of exclusive versus non-exclusive breastfeeding on specific infant morbidities from birth to nine months, in Conakry (Guinea). Method A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,167 mother-infant pairs who visited one of 20 immunization centres in Conakry for vaccination between the 45 th and 270 th days of the child’s life. Two data sources were used: the infant health book and an orally administered questionnaire completed with the mother. Data analyses included univariate cross-tabulations and multivariate logistic regression models to estimate the effect of breastfeeding on infant morbidity. Results Exclusive breastfeeding decreased with the infant’s age. At six months of age, the proportion of infants who were exclusively breastfed was only 15.5%. After adjusting for the infant’s age, and the interaction between the type of breastfeeding and the infant’s age, exclusive breastfeeding significantly protected the infants against many of the studied morbidities (OR: 0.28, CI: 0.15–0.51) and specifically against diarrhoea (OR: 0.38; 95% CI: 0.17 – 0.86), respiratory infections (OR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.14 – 0.50), and low growth rate (OR: 0.11; 95% CI: 0.02 – 0.46), but not for otitis, urinary infection, or meningitis. Conclusion This investigation confirmed the protective effects of exclusive breastfeeding on some specific infant’s morbidities during the first nine months of life. The results of this study are of great importance for the development of an information program designed to encourage the exclusive breastfeeding among the mothers of Conakry, Guinea.

“…The results of our systematic review closely mirrored the final data set included in the Lancet nutrition series and thus report nearly identical effect estimates for the meta-analyses of all-cause mortality for 0-5 mos and 6-23 mos; diarrhea mortality for 0-5 mos; and diarrhea incidence for predominantly compared to exclusively breastfed infants 0-5 mos of age. We excluded two previously included studies on the basis of diarrhea recall beyond two weeks [36,37], and we included four additional studies not cited by the Lancet nutrition series [15,23,28,35]. This resulted in lower effect estimates than those previously reported for the risk of diarrhea mortality and incidence in not breastfed children 6-23 mos of age and for the risk of incident diarrhea in partially and not breastfed infants 0-5 mos of age.…”

BackgroundLack of exclusive breastfeeding among infants 0-5 months of age and no breastfeeding among children 6-23 months of age are associated with increased diarrhea morbidity and mortality in developing countries. We estimate the protective effects conferred by varying levels of breastfeeding exposure against diarrhea incidence, diarrhea prevalence, diarrhea mortality, all-cause mortality, and hospitalization for diarrhea illness.MethodsWe systematically reviewed all literature published from 1980 to 2009 assessing levels of suboptimal breastfeeding as a risk factor for selected diarrhea morbidity and mortality outcomes. We conducted random effects meta-analyses to generate pooled relative risks by outcome and age category.ResultsWe found a large body of evidence for the protective effects of breastfeeding against diarrhea incidence, prevalence, hospitalizations, diarrhea mortality, and all-cause mortality. The results of random effects meta-analyses of eighteen included studies indicated varying degrees of protection across levels of breastfeeding exposure with the greatest protection conferred by exclusive breastfeeding among infants 0-5 months of age and by any breastfeeding among infants and young children 6-23 months of age. Specifically, not breastfeeding resulted in an excess risk of diarrhea mortality in comparison to exclusive breastfeeding among infants 0-5 months of age (RR: 10.52) and to any breastfeeding among children aged 6-23 months (RR: 2.18).ConclusionsOur findings support the current WHO recommendation for exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life as a key child survival intervention. Our findings also highlight the importance of breastfeeding to protect against diarrhea-specific morbidity and mortality throughout the first 2 years of life.

“…En el presente estudio no se encontró asociación entre lactancia materna y enfermedad diarreica aguda como afirman varios autores. 11,19,20 En cuanto a las limitaciones del estudio, se encuentra el tipo de muestreo que limita la generalización de los resultados así como que el instrumento haya sido autorespondido por las pacientes y los datos no hayan sido validados por otro método (historia clínica) lo que podría llevar a un riesgo de mala clasificación. Dada la metodología utilizada, no fue posible volver a acceder a cada madre para verificar los datos obtenidos en la encuesta inicial.…”

Objetivo: establecer la frecuencia de empleo y explorar el papel que tiene la lactancia materna exclusiva hasta los 6 meses como factor protector para enfermedades prevalentes, en niños hasta de 5 años de edad en una determinada población colombiana.Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en algunas instituciones educativas a nivel de jardín infantil de los municipios de Palestina, Ibagué y Pereira (Colombia). La escogencia de la población se efectuó mediante un muestreo por conveniencia. Se evaluaron las características basales, tipo de alimentación, tiempo de lactancia materna, tiempo de alimentación complementaria, enfermedades respiratorias, apendicitis, enfermedad diarreica aguda, diabetes mellitus, dermatitis, reflujo gastroesofágico, desnutrición, obesidad y afección cardiorrespiratoria.Resultados: participaron en el estudio 311 niños. Se encontró una frecuencia de lactancia materna del 92% (98,1% Ibagué, 90,5% Pereira, 87,9% Palestina) y una asociación significativa entre la lactancia materna y bronquiolitis, reflujo gastroesofágico, síndrome bronco obstructivo, desnutrición y afección cardiorrespiratoria.Conclusiones: se confirma la importancia de la lactancia materna como factor protector para enfermedades prevalentes en la infancia.
