Erken süt çocukluğu döneminde beslenmenin,büyüme ve dışkılama özellikleri üzerine etkisi

ÖZET Amaç: Sağlıklı bebeklerde farklı beslenme tiplerinin antropometrik veriler, beslenme davranışı ve dışkılama özellikleri üzerine etkisinin araştırılması. Gereç ve yöntem: Anne sütü ve biberon maması alan sağlıklı bebekler üç ve altı aylıkken değerlendirilerek, beslenme, dışkılama özellikleri ve büyümeleri izlenmiştir. Bulgular: AS ile beslenen 24, BM alan 23 bebek karşılaştırıldığında 3. ayda AS grubunun vücut ağırlığı, boyu, triseps deri kıvrım kalınlığı ve postnatal kilo alımı, BM grubundan fazla bulundu. AS grubunda, bebeklerin doğum ağırlığı ile 3. aydaki vücut ağırlığı arasında pozitif ilişki varken, BM alan grupta bu ilişki yoktu. AS grubunun ilk üç aydaki günlük beslenme süre ve sayısı ayrıca dışkılama sayısı fazla idi. Altıncı ayda iki grubun ortalama vücut ağırlığı, boyu, baş çevresi, vücut kitle indeksi ve TSF arasında fark bulunmazken, BM grubunun aldığı kilo ve baş çevresi artışı AS grubundan daha fazla idi. AS grubunun ek gıdalardan aldığı ortalama enerji ve protein miktarının BM alan bebeklerden daha az olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: Hayatın ilk üç ayında AS ile beslenen bebekler daha hızlı büyümekte, ancak ek gıdalara geçildikten sonra BM ile beslenen bebeklerin gerisinde kalmaktadır. Her iki beslenme şeklinde beslenme davranışı ve dışkılama özellikleri birbirinden farklı olup, ek gıdaların devreye girmesi ile farklılıklar ortadan kalkmaktadır. Bu değişiklikler anne sütünde bulunan hormonlar ve büyüme faktörlerinden kaynaklanabilir.

Effects of nutrition on growth and defacation patterns in early infancy

Objective: To evaluate the effects of different nutritional patterns on anthropometric data, feeding behavior and defecation patterns. Material and method: Healthy breast-fed and formula-fed infants were evaluated on their growth, feeding and defecation pattern at 3th and 6th month of age. Results: At first visit of healthy breast-fed (n=24) and formula-fed (n=23) infants, body weight, lenght, triceps skinfold thickness, postnatal weight gain were higher in BF than FF group. While birth weight was correlated to postnatal weight gain in BF babies such correlation was not present in FF group. Daily feeding frequency, feeding period and defecation frequency at three months of age were higher in BF group than FF group. At six months of age, while there were no differences on body weight, length, head circumference, body mass index, TSF between two groups, postnatal weight gain and head circumference increase were higher in FF group. Daily mean energy and protein intake from complementary foods were lower in BF than FF babies. Conclusion: BF infants grow more rapidly at first three months of life, however at the beginning of complementary food these infants stay behind the FF infants. At both of the different nutritional pattern, feeding and defecation patterns are different however, these differences were over with beginning of complementary foods. Different growth, feeding and defecation patterns in BF and FF infants can be related to growth factors and hormones in breast-milk.
