Title: The Effect of Breast Milk Odor on First Breast Feeding Time and Weight Gain in Premature Infants
Author Name:Batool Poor Aboli, Atefeh Shamsi and Sedigheh Iranmanesh
Synopsis:
This study examines the effect of breast milk odor on the first breast feeding time and weight gain in premature infants. This experimental study was conducted on 92 premature infants less than 33 weeks of age. There were 46 infants in the control group and 46 infants in the intervention group. The study was conducted at two neonatal intensive care and premature units of a university hospital in Northern Iran from April 6 to September 6, 2013. The study was conducted over a four and a half month period. Demographic profiles were extracted from the infants' medical records. A checklist of recorded data from the same study was made available. Prior to initiating the research, we received the necessary approval from relevant organizations. Parental permission was obtained by signing a consent form. A pad impregnated with the mother's milk and olfactory stimulation of premature infants with this pad reduced the first breastfeeding duration. The mother's breast sucking was more effective and initiated over a shorter time in the intervention group compared to the control group. Olfactory stimulation of breast milk odor influenced strengthening feeding competence of infants and reduced the duration of time for the first breast feeding.
