Abstract
Introduction: In full-term infants, the universal recommendation is to be given exclusive breast milk during the first 6 months of life, but with premature infants there is no agreement on indication of breastfeeding; Considering that breast milk alone is not enough. Numerous studies promote the use of infant formulas in preterm infants, since it is argued that thepremature baby should maintain the same growth as if it were still in the womb.
Methods: A cohort study analyzed the clinical records of patients from preterm infants who completed the year of follow-up in the outpatient kangaroo program from 2006 to 2014. The measures of central tendency and dispersion were calculated for the variables Continuous, Statistics Confidence tests were applied.
Results: Data from 90 preterm infants were obtained; Predominant late preterm (77%). 16% of the children weighed <1500 grams. Statistical significance was found for the increase in final height at 12 months for boys and girls in favor of those who received breast milk up to 12 months of corrected age (p = 0.044).
Conclusions: There is a statistically significant difference for the increase in final height at 12 months in boys and girls. This allows us to appreciate that, when receiving breastfeeding, the indicators of malnutrition in the corrected year of age are comparatively lower.
