Breastfeeding and Once-Daily Small-Volume Formula Supplementation to Prevent Infant Growth Impairment

Breastfeeding and Once-Daily Small-Volume Formula Supplementation to Prevent Infant Growth Impairment

Randomized controlled trials in Guinea-Bissau and Uganda have revealed that the intensive promotion of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) impairs growth in early infancy. When newborn growth is impaired, small amounts of formula may be combined with breastfeeding to promote growth. To determine if breast...

Zusammenfassung:Randomized controlled trials in Guinea-Bissau and Uganda have revealed that the intensive promotion of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) impairs growth in early infancy. When newborn growth is impaired, small amounts of formula may be combined with breastfeeding to promote growth. To determine if breastfeeding combined with once-daily formula supplementation improves growth among at-risk newborns, we conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau and Kampala, Uganda. We randomly assigned 324 healthy breastfeeding newborns who weighed 2000 g to 2499 g at birth or
