Abstract

Introduction: Little research has explored galactagogue food consumption in China. This study aims to investigate consumption patterns and how they relate to perceived insufficient milk supply and exclusive breastfeeding.

Methods: Data were collected from postpartum women in China at six time points: baseline demographic questionnaire before hospital discharge (T0), galactagogue food questionnaire at 1 month postpartum (T1), Hill and Humenick Lactation Scale at 6 weeks postpartum (T2), and breastfeeding practices at 1, 2, 3 and 4 months postpartum (T1, T3, T4, T5).

Results: Of 218 participants who completed the galactagogue food questionnaire, 64.68% were consumers. No association was found between galactagogue food consumption and perceived insufficient milk supply. Consumers were less likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Discussion: Future research should emphasize a deeper understanding of consumer behaviors and family support in providing professional guidance on postpartum nutrition that considers not only social and cultural experiences but also broader medical aspects.

中国产后妇女的催乳食物消费、乳量不足感知和纯母乳喂养:重复测量的分析

导言:关于中国催乳食品消费的研究很少。这项研究的目的是调查消费模式，以及它们与感知到的牛奶供应不足和纯母乳喂养之间的关系。方法:收集中国产后妇女6个时间点的数据:出院前基线人口统计问卷(T0)、产后1个月催乳食物问卷(T1)、产后6周Hill和Humenick泌乳量表(T2)以及产后1、2、3和4个月(T1、T3、T4、T5)的母乳喂养情况。结果:在218名完成催乳食物问卷的参与者中，64.68%为消费者。没有发现催乳食物的摄入和感觉到的牛奶供应不足之间的联系。消费者不太可能完全母乳喂养。讨论:未来的研究应强调在提供产后营养专业指导时对消费者行为和家庭支持的更深入理解，不仅考虑社会和文化经验，而且考虑更广泛的医学方面。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
