Abstract

Background: This cohort study was conducted to compare the growth of two groups of INFANTs who were exclusively breast-fed till the end of the 6th month or received complementary foods add to the breast milk, after the 4th month of age, between January 1997 and February 1998. Materials and methods: 200 term and healthy INFANTs who had been exclusively breast-fed for the first 4 months of life were selected. 100 INFANTs fed exclusively by breast milk until the age of 6 months. 100 INFANTs continued to be breast-fed and received complementary foods. Mothers of both groups received education about BREAST-FEEDING importance and techniques and mothers of complementary food-group, received education about weaning upon the table of complementary food introduction, supervised by Ministry of Health and Education. There were no differences between the mothers age and education, INFANTs sex, weight and height between the groups at the time of study. INFANTs feeding pattern, weight, and height were assessed and recorded at the end of 5th and 6th months of age.Results: The mean of weight (±SD) in exclusively breast-fed INFANTs and complementary-fed INFANTs was 7718±763.1gr and 7726.3± 765.4gr, respectively. We have found no significant difference between the INFANTs weight gain and weight at the end of 6th month (p= 0.86 and p=0.96, respectively). The rate of diarrhea and respiratory infections were 11% and 23% in exclusively breast-fed and 27% and 35% in complementary-fed INFANTs between the age of 4 to 6 months. Conclusion: BREAST-FEEDING can provide INFANTs growth and protect them against infectious diseases. Thus, exclusively breast feeding is highly recommended between the age of 4-6 months.
