Abstract
Valoracion de la tecnica de amamantamiento en bebes con sindrome de Down Avaliacao da tecnica de amamentacao em bebes com sindrome de Down Objective: To evaluate the technique and duration of breastfeeding in healthy children and children with Down Syndrome (DS) using the breastfeeding observation form. Materials and methods: An observational study of a prospective cohort was carried out at the Clinical Hospital of Granada during 2015. The Study Group consisted of 40 children with DS and the control group was formed by each new-born with DS and a healthy new-born with the same characteristics of weight and gestational age was selected. The new-borns evaluated shared housing with the mother where the technique was valued during the first 5 days postpartum by a health professional. A bivariable analysis was performed to compare the groups using Student’s “ T ” test for numerical variables and chi-square for categorical variables. Results: Lactogenesis onset was earlier in the DS group (92.5 % in the first 24 hours vs 20 % ; p <0.001). It was observed that 60 % of the healthy children were breastfed for more than three months while in the group of babies with DS this time period was 47.5 % . Conclusions: The results of this study reveal that the breastfeeding technique presented at the beginning more difficulties in mothers of children with DS and it has been shown that technical errors influence the onset and duration of breastfeeding in mothers of these children.

Otro estudio demuestra que la lactancia materna en los niños con síndrome de Down (SD) fue más corta, sobre todo si después del nacimiento debía ingresar al hospital o si era primogénito
Summary
Objetivo: avaliar a técnica e a duração do aleitamento materno em crianças saudáveis ecrianças com síndrome de Down (SD), com a utilização do formulário de observação do aleitamento materno. La lactancia materna (LM) es la única fuente alimenticia que suministra todos los nutrientes necesarios para el desarrollo óptimo del niño en los primeros meses de vida. Es un fluido que varía durante las etapas de la lactancia y a lo largo de las 24 horas del día [4]. Muchos de los problemas encontrados se derivan de la inseguridad y del desconocimiento de las técnicas de LM, así como de la separación del niño de la madre durante los primeros días de vida. Algunos estudios han comprobado las ventajas de esta forma de alimentación para los bebés, y especialmente para los que padecen SD, por lo cual el abandono precoz de la LM en los niños con SD se debe evitar. Evaluar la técnica y la duración de la lactancia materna en niños sanos y en niños con SD, utilizando el Formulario de observación del amamantamiento
