| Popis: | Background Provision of adequate nutrients is needed in the early year oflife to support the most rapid growth and development period in infant's life. Moreover, warm and responsive parent-child interaction associated with breastfeeding is beneficial for optimal child development. Objective The objective of this study was to compare the language and visual-motor developments between exclusively breast-fed and non-exclusively breast-fed infants. Methods This historical cohort study was performed from May to June 2009. Study subjects consisted of 6-month-old infants lived in Puskesmas Garuda operational area. Language and visual-motor development were measured by cognitive adaptive test/clinical linguistic &auditory milestone scale (CAT/CLAMS). The differences of CAT /CLAMS scores between groups were analyzed with Mann-Whitney test. Results There were 39 exclusively breastfed and 39 non-exclusively breastfed infants enrolled in this study. No significant differences were found between the two groups concerning the subject or their parents characteristics. Mean CAT/CLAMS score of the exclusively breastfed infants was 8.34 points higher than that of the non-exclusively breastfed infants (P=0.002). Similar outcomes were found in language and visual-motor scales which were higher in the exclusively breastfed infants with the differences of9.82 points (P=O.OOl) and 6.85 points (P=0.039), respectively. Conclusion Exclusively breastfed infants has higher language and visual-motor developmental quotient score than non-exclusively breastfed infants. |
