Literature review for - Flourish Paediatrics

Fathers not supportive of
breastfeeding or were
ambivalent infants were
more likely to be given cow’s
milk. OR 1.70 (1.23, 2.58)
OR = 0.92
Percentage of mothers
who attended prenatal
classes and introduced
cow’s milk before 9
months= 64.1, after 9
months= 77.1

Effect on risk
Delayed introduction of cow’s
milk and a consequent increase
in breastfeeding duration
may reduce chronic
constipation and anal fissure in
early childhood.
The majority of infants in this
study were given cow’s milk
before the recommended age
of 12 months. Results suggest
the need for further education
programs.
A portion of parents and
caregivers require
guidance about delaying
the introduction of cow’s
milk until one year of age.
Younger maternal age,
lower household income
and non-attendance at
prenatal class is predictive
of the introduction of
cow’s milk before 9
months.
