A method for the continuous measurement of milk intake during a breast-feed is described. A miniature Doppler ultrasound flow transducer, located in the tip of a latex nipple shield, is interposed between mother and baby during feeding. Preliminary results indicate the scope and current limitations of the method in terms of both populations and individual mother/infant pairs. An initial analysis of individual feeds indicates that two factors may contribute to the curtailment of intake during a feed from one breast: a progressive reduction in intake volume per suck, and/or an increase in the proportion of time spent pausing between bursts of sucking.
本文描述了一种在母乳喂养期间连续测量乳汁摄入量的方法。一个微型多普勒超声流量传感器位于乳胶乳头罩的顶端，在喂奶时置于母婴之间。初步结果表明了该方法在适用人群和母婴个体对方面的范围及当前局限性。对单次喂奶的初步分析表明，有两个因素可能导致从一侧乳房喂奶时摄入量减少：每次吸吮的摄入量逐渐减少，和/或吸吮间隙停顿时间所占比例增加。
