婴儿吸吮科学

成功的母乳喂养依赖于母亲与宝宝的互动。为了理解和解决婴儿吸吮问题,首先要理解泌乳、乳汁排出的解剖学和生理学原理。美德乐及西澳洲大学的顶尖专家们对哺乳期乳房解剖学进行了研究(Ramsay et al,2005 )。这场突破性的研究对原有的认识提出了质疑,进而改写了许多教科书的内容。随后,将这项新成果应用到探索哺乳时婴儿吸出乳汁的研究中。

吸吮周期

西澳洲大学通过使用超声波和负压测量方法,探究了哺乳过程中的婴儿吸吮。

在一个吸吮周期过程中,开始负压处于基线水平,在舌向下运动时,口腔负压增加,当舌抵达最低点时,口腔负压达到峰值。在舌向下时,母乳开始流出。然后舌头上升,重新回到基线 - 母乳停止流出。

重大发现

婴儿吸吮运动详情
  1. 负压在乳汁排出过程中发挥着重要作用
  2. 舌头并不没有明显的“滚动挤压”
  3. 乳头没有有明显的被压扁的迹象
  4. 乳头前端没有顶到软/硬颚连接处
