Breastfeeding Research Oct-Dec 2025
Does Prematurity Moderate the Association Between Breastfeeding First Born and Second Born Children?
This study found that breastfeeding experience with a firstborn child increases the breastfeeding initiation rate for a second born child. However, if the first or second child is premature, the association was smaller. The study's conclusion was that support for overcoming breastfeeding obstacles is important regardless if baby is premature.
This study did not find a relationship between sIgA in a newborn's intestines and the mother's nutritional intake at birth. The study did find a negative association between the infant's birth weight and sIgA in the baby's intestines which means the higher the birth weight, the less sIgA found.
Associations of breastfeeding with maternal and child health outcomes: umbrella review
This research paper analyzed the results of 62 studies and found convincing evidence that breastfeeding reduces the risk of ovarian cancer and hypertension in breastfeeding moms and SIDS and allergic rhinitis in breastfed children. The study also found suggestive evidence that an inverse relationship exists between having been breastfed and obesity and type diabetes in adulthood.
This was a review of 19 studies that found that lactation support at birth and during the first months has the potential to improve breastfeeding outcomes.
64.7% of the women in the this study were able to relactate after completely stopping breastfeeding. First milk secretion was noticed at about day 6 of the relactation process. Those who had more recently stopped breastfeeding had better success. Also, maternal attachment increased significantly over the study period.
