Abstract

Background: One of the important reasons behind termination of breast-feeding in the first six months after childbirth is insufficient production of breast milk.Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of HERBAL TEA containing FENUGREEK seed on the signs of breast milk sufficiency in Iranian girl infants aged 0 - 4 months, at the medical health centers of Tehran university of medical sciences.Patients and Methods: This study was a clinical trial with a control group. Seventy-eight girl infants, 0 - 4 months old that were exclusively breastfed by their mothers, were randomly assigned to the intervention group (received HERBAL TEA containing 7.5 g FENUGREEK seed powder in addition to 3 g of black tea, three times a day) and the control group (received HERBAL TEA containing 3 g of black tea powder, three times a day). Before and during the four weeks of study, the signs of breast milk sufficiency were evaluated through measurement of growth parameters and use of follow-up forms for measuring the number of wet diapers in one day, frequency of defecation and infant breast-feeding times in a day.Results: Before the intervention there was no significant difference between weight, height, head circumference, the number of wet diapers and frequency of defecation between the two groups (P>0.05), yet the number of BREAST FEEDING times of the control group was more than the FENUGREEK group. At the end of the fourth week in proportion to the pre-intervention conditions, the weight of the infants in the FENUGREEK group increased significantly from 5282.0513±1021.51121 to 6383.0769±952.06190, while head circumference increased from 38.3103±1.62736 to 39.9256±1.50660, number of wet diapers from 5.2821±0.93044 to 8.1648±1.20620, frequency of defecation from 1.8846±1.08495 to 2.7326±0.94771 and the number of BREAST FEEDING times from 9.1795±1.39778 to 15.9597±1.45056 (P<0.001). However, there was no significant effect on height variation (P=0.078). While in the control group there was no significant difference between the mentioned variables (P>0.05).Conclusions: HERBAL TEA of FENUGREEK seed in comparison to the control group improves the signs of breast milk sufficiency.
