Infant colic is a common condition of unknown pathogenesis that brings frustration to families seeking for effective management. Accumulating evidence suggests that some single strains of lactobacilli may play a positive dietary role in attenuation of colic in exclusively breastfed infants. The objective of this study was to evaluate a mixture of two strains in decreasing infant cry and fuss in this population. Infants aged 4⁻12 weeks received 19070-2 and 12246 in a daily dose of 250 × 10⁶ CFU, 3.33 mg of fructooligosaccharide, and 200 IU of vitamin D₃ (84 infants, probiotic group) or just vitamin D₃ (84 infants, control group) for 28 days. Cry and fuss time were measured with validated Baby's Day Diary on days 0 and 28. At baseline, mean (SD) duration of cry and fuss time was comparable in the probiotic and control groups: 305 (81) vs. 315 (90) min., respectively ( 0.450). On day 28, mean cry and fuss time became statistically different: 142 (89) vs. 199 (72), respectively ( 0.05). Mean change in cry and fuss time from day 0 through day 28 was -163 (99) minutes in the probiotic and -116 (94) minutes in the control group ( 0.019). Our findings confirm that lactobacilli decrease cry and fuss time and provide a dietary support in exclusively breastfed infants with colic.
婴儿肠绞痛是一种病因不明的常见疾病,令寻求有效治疗方法的家庭感到沮丧。越来越多的证据表明,某些单一的乳杆菌菌株可能在减轻纯母乳喂养婴儿肠绞痛方面发挥积极的饮食作用。本研究的目的是评估两种菌株混合物在减少该人群婴儿啼哭和烦躁方面的效果。4⁻12 周龄的婴儿每天接受 19070-2 和 12246 的剂量,分别为 250×10⁶CFU、3.33mg 低聚果糖和 200IU 维生素 D₃(84 名婴儿,益生菌组)或仅维生素 D₃(84 名婴儿,对照组),持续 28 天。使用经过验证的婴儿日常日记在第 0 天和第 28 天测量哭泣和烦躁时间。在基线时,益生菌组和对照组的哭泣和烦躁时间的平均(SD)持续时间相当:分别为 305(81)与 315(90)分钟( 0.450)。在第 28 天,哭泣和烦躁时间的平均值变得具有统计学差异:分别为 142(89)与 199(72)分钟( 0.05)。从第 0 天到第 28 天,哭泣和烦躁时间的平均变化在益生菌组为-163(99)分钟,在对照组为-116(94)分钟( 0.019)。我们的发现证实了乳杆菌可以减少婴儿的啼哭和烦躁时间,并为患有肠绞痛的纯母乳喂养婴儿提供饮食支持。
