Filter by:Ankyloglossia is an anomaly that is characterized by an abnormally short, thick or thin lingual frenulum that can restrict the movements of the tongue and has been identified as one of the factors that can negatively interfere with breastfeeding, decreasing the ability of the newborn to make a clamp proper. According to the Ministry of Health in Brazil, the percentage of newborns who present this anomaly is 3% to 16%. The objective of the study will be to evaluate the release of the lingual frenulum through the lingual frenotomy performed with a high level diode laser or with an electro cautery. Methods: The present study will be a blind randomized controlled clinical trial, in which 56 volunteers, infants aged 0 to 3 months, with normal health status, who are breastfeeding, diagnosed with ankyloglossia and indication for surgery, will do lingual frenotomy. Those responsible for the children will be informed about the study procedures and after signing the Free and Informed Consent Form, authorizing them to participate in the study. The non-blinded researcher will conduct the evaluation, screening and procedures, and another blinded researcher will be the evaluator 15 days after the procedure. The distribution of volunteers in the groups will be random and randomized: Surgery Group with electro cautery (G1- EC) and Surgery Group with high power diode laser (G2-L). The procedures for patient preparation, asepsis and infection control will be strictly followed in accordance with biosafety rules. In both groups the infants will be submitted to anamnesis, clinical evaluation and standardized photograph of the lingual frenulum region before the surgical procedure and application of the Bristol frenulum evaluation protocol, the nursing mother will be submitted to the evaluation of the VAS of pain during breastfeeding, before, shortly after and 15 days after the surgical procedure for the evaluation of the result of the lingual frenotomy. Discussion: Ankyloglossia can negatively impact breastfeeding. The lingual frenotomy procedure can be performed using various surgical techniques. The use of high-power laser for this purpose has been identified as an effective resource in the incision of the lingual frenulum, with advantages in the trans-operative period, less bleeding and better visualization of the surgical field, and in the post-operative period, with reduction of edema, pain and inflammation, quality of tissue repair and patient comfort.
This study; this work; The aim is to investigate the effects of mothers' nutritional status on breast milk macro nutrients (carbohydrate, fat and protein).
Breastfeeding related mastalgia is a common post-partum complaint. We propose a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that investigates the use of Evening Primrose Oil in the treatment of breastfeeding related mastalgia.
This is an exploratory, qualitative evaluation study of the Breastfeeding Buddies (BFB) program. The Breastfeeding Buddies Program is a peer-based education and support program offered through the Kitchener Downtown Community Health Centre. The KDCHC has received funding to undertake a qualitative exploratory study of the BFB program. KDCHC has partnered with researchers at the Manulife Centre for Community Health Research at Wilfrid Laurier University to plan and implement this study. The purpose of the evaluation study is to understand the perspectives and experiences of Breastfeeding Buddies (BFB) participants and volunteers. The evaluation will explore the process of implementation of the BFB education and support programs and assess the program impacts from the perspective of participants and volunteers. The methods in this study are qualitative because the BFB program has never collected qualitative data from program participants and volunteers. In the past, evaluation of the program has been limited to pre and post surveys. This qualitative study includes two components: 1. Interviews 6-8 weeks after the participants due dates with consenting mothers who participated in the Me Breastfeed workshop - 10-12 mothers who were matched with a Buddy (optional for all workshop participants) will be interviewed and 10-12 mothers who did not seek a match (but did participate in the workshop) will be interviewed to explore what they learned, what was helpful and how the program can be improved. 2. One focus group with 10-15 Breastfeeding Buddies volunteers to explore the experiences and perspectives of the BFB volunteers.
The authors hypothesize that adjusted individual feeding (AIF) for preterm infant starting from transition to oral feeding (33 weeks corrected age) will result in less episodes of apnea/bradycardia, early achievement of full oral feeding, improved weight gain and shorten hospitalization duration in the short term. In the long term AIF will result in higher scores on the Griffith's developmental scales, decreasing parental anxiety and feeding disorders .
