Abstract

Objective. Feeding intolerance during the early postnatal period can be distressing for families. To assess this, infants (n = 150) of mothers who had previously decided to exclusively or partially formula feed were enrolled ≤24 hours after birth. Methods. Infants were fed with a single ready-to-feed, 100% partially hydrolyzed whey protein-based formula until discharge, in accordance with standard hospital practice. Parents recorded daily the presence/severity of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms/behaviors, rated from 0 (never) to 5 (always). A validated questionnaire was completed at discharge to evaluate symptoms of GI discomfort; scores can range from 0 to ~140 (lower scores indicate fewer symptoms). Results. Mean ± SD daily scores ranged from 0.12 ± 0.40 (fussiness/irritability) to 1.26 ± 0.90 (spitting up), indicating that GI symptoms/behaviors occurred, on average, "never" or "almost never." Mean GI discomfort scores were also very low (9.9 ± 7.4). Conclusion. These results indicate that the ready-to-feed formula was very well accepted and well tolerated during this period among healthy newborns in Saudi Arabia.

沙特阿拉伯产后初期配方奶喂养婴儿的胃肠道耐受性:观察研究。
目的。产后早期的喂养不耐受会给家庭带来困扰。为了对此进行评估,我们在婴儿出生后 24 小时内对之前决定完全或部分使用配方奶喂养的母亲的婴儿(n = 150)进行了登记。方法按照医院的标准做法,婴儿在出院前一直由100%部分水解乳清蛋白配方奶粉喂养。父母每天记录婴儿是否出现/严重的胃肠道(GI)症状/行为,评分从0分(从不)到5分(总是)不等。出院时填写一份经过验证的问卷,以评估胃肠道不适症状;得分范围从 0 到 ~140(得分越低表示症状越少)。结果。平均(± SD)日得分从 0.12 ± 0.40(烦躁/易怒)到 1.26 ± 0.90(吐奶)不等,表明平均 "从不 "或 "几乎从不 "出现胃肠道症状/行为。消化道不适的平均得分也很低(9.9 ± 7.4)。结论这些结果表明,沙特阿拉伯的健康新生儿在此期间对即食配方奶粉的接受度和耐受性都很高。
