Human Lactation Experience Facing Complex Chronic Conditions
Experiencia De Lactancia Humana Frente A Condiciones Crónicas Complejas
Main Article Content
Mealtime is a central activity in the life of a family. This is why the first form of feeding is emphasized, which is human lactation. It has widely known benefits, even more so in babies with adverse health conditions. It is believed pertinent to focus on the fact that these babies considered fragile due to their health condition benefit in aspects, for example, in relation to comfort compared to practices that often safeguard life but could leave an unpleasant experience. (Kerzner et al., 2015; Milano, Chatoor, & Kerzner, 2019)
Aim: Know the experience of people who could or could not breastfeed their babies with some CCC or disability. And in turn, deepen about the supports, facilitators, limitations and / or difficulties in the path of breastfeeding.
Methodology: Observational and cross-sectional study through voluntary surveys. People of legal age with at least one child between 0 and 15 years old at the time of the survey with some medical condition participated.
Results: a total of 124 respondents stand out. The breastfeeding experience was very varied: 42.5% difficult, 25.8%, on the contrary, described it as pleasant. According to those surveyed, 41% reported sucking problems and 26% reported swallowing problems. In turn, the lack of information arose in 20% and 9% reported that they were offered a bottle without first trying some form of human breastfeeding.
Conclusion: It is believed that it is essential to be able to visualize different breastfeeding experiences, as many families consider, the role of speech pathologists and childcare workers as health agents plus information is of vital importance. This type of information allows health professionals to take into account different views and experiences; this makes the problems visible and prioritizes the professional role of the agents involved in human lactation within the interdisciplinary team.
