| Summary: | The benefits of breastfeeding for babys health
are undeniable, including nutritional factors,
due its protein properties, and the correct
growth of the stomatognathic system. In this
study, the aim was to assess the relation between
early weaning and non nutritional suction
habits. Questionnaires were applied to
705 parents of children from 6 to 36 months,
of both genders, registered by Secretaria de
Saúde do Estado do Amazonas (SUSAM) in the
Centro de Atenção Integral a Criança (CAICs) Dr.
Moura Tapajós, Dr. Paulo Xerez e Dr. Gilson
Moreira. It was observed that among the children
who had early weaning, 76,2% did not
develop thumb-sucking habit, and 52,4%, did
not develop pacifier sucking habit. As for early
weaning and bottle-feeding, 82,5% had made
use of the artificial feeding. After the descriptive
statistic analysis and Qui-quadrado test,
it was evidenced a significant difference between
early weaning and the forms of non
nutritional suction. It was also observed that
the thumb-sucking and the pacifier one did
not influence on the early weaning, although
the natural breastfeeding was substituted by
the artificial one. |
