We investigated the prognostic value of sucking technique (faulty vs correct) during the first week after birth in relation to the long-term success of breastfeeding. At discharge from the maternity ward, 82 healthy mother-infant pairs were observed for assessment of breastfeeding technique and followed for four months by regular telephone checkups. Correct sucking technique was defined as the infant having a wide-open mouth, with the tongue under the areola, and expressing milk from the breast by slow, deep sucks; faulty technique was defined as superficial nipple sucking. The study population was divided into three groups: one in which faulty sucking technique was corrected when observed (n = 29), one with faulty but uncorrected technique (n = 25), and a control group with a correct technique (n = 28). At the four-month follow-up assessment, the faulty but uncorrected group was characterized by a greater proportion of mothers with breastfeeding problems and early cessation of breastfeeding than the other two groups. Regular use of a pacifier (> 2 hrs/day) was more common among those with breastfeeding problems.
我们调查了出生后第一周的吸吮技巧（错误与正确）对母乳喂养长期成功的预后价值。在产妇病房出院时，观察了82对健康的母婴，以评估母乳喂养技巧，并通过定期电话检查随访四个月。正确的吸吮技巧定义为婴儿张大嘴巴，舌头位于乳晕下方，并通过缓慢、深沉的吸吮从乳房挤出乳汁；错误的技巧定义为浅尝乳头。研究人群分为三组：一组在观察到错误吸吮技巧时进行了纠正（n = 29），一组有错误但未纠正的技巧（n = 25），以及一组技巧正确的对照组（n = 28）。在四个月的随访评估中，有错误但未纠正的组中，母乳喂养有问题和过早停止母乳喂养的母亲比例高于其他两组。母乳喂养有问题的人群中，经常使用安抚奶嘴（> 2小时/天）的情况更为常见。
