Abstract

Introduction: The many advantages of exclusively breast feeding INFANTs are documented; breast-feeding enhances the growth and development of breast fed INFANTs. The impact of RAMADAN FASTING by breast-feeding mothers on the GROWTH PARAMETERS of exclusively breast-fed INFANTs is still not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of maternal fasting during Ramadan on the GROWTH PARAMETERS of their exclusively breast-fed INFANTs.Material and methods: This cohort study was performed throughout Ramadan and for five months after, on healthy, exclusive breast-fed INFANTs (n=116), aged between 15 days to 6 months, assigned into two groups, based on their mothers fasting: Control group (n=80) and fasting group (infants with fasting mothers: n=36). All INFANTs underwent periodic physical examinations twice in Ramadan, 3 times in the second month and then twice monthly in next 4 months. The INFANT’s growth status was evaluated by calculating each GROWTH PARAMETERS (weight, height, head circumference) as a percentage of the median value for age, based on appropriate growth charts.Results: The mean age of INFANTs in the case group was 3.43 ± 1.38 and in the control group was 2.31±1.45 months, age being significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05). Fifty-four (46.6%) were boys and this proportion was the same in both groups (P>0.05). According to the repeated measures ANOVA, all GROWTH PARAMETERS increased during the study period (P< 0.05) but the rate of increaseing was the same for both groups (P>0.05).Conclusion: RAMADAN FASTING by breastfeeding mothers did not adversely affect on the GROWTH PARAMETERS of exclusively breast-fed INFANTs.
