Abstract

Objectives:  To study the pervalence and risk factors of weight loss more than or equal to 7 percentage in breast-fed infants buring postpartum period.


Methods: The retrospective analysis study in 978 medical records of postpartum mothers and their breast-fed in Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital during 1st


October 2012 - 31st March 2014, Chi square was used.


Results: 489 infants were enrolled. 289 breast-fed infants (59.1%) lost weightmore than or equal to 7 percent of their birth weight. So the prevalence of


significant neonatal loss in breast-fed infants in postpartum ward in Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital is 59.1%. The associated risk factors were sex, delivery


method and maternal age. Female infants lost weight 1.6 times more than male infants (p-value gif.latex?< 0.05) Caesarean section affected weight loss in breast-fed in


fants 3.3 times compared to normal labour (p-value gif.latex?< 0.05) in addition, pregnant women with advanced maternal age had more risk of significant weight loss


than any other age groups. (p-value gif.latex?< 0.05)


Conclusions: Recommendation from this study is focus should be given to pregnant women who had undergone caesarian section, advanced maternal age


and delivered female infants in order to prevent significant neonatal weight loss. However, breastfeeding promotion programs and encouragement should be 


provided to all pregnant women starting from antenatal period till postpartum period. Support practices in the maternality ward is crucial.
