The elemental analysis focused on calcium (Ca), potassium (K), sodium (Na), and chlorine (Cl) as minor elements and iodine (I), aluminum (Al), bromine (Br), and rubidium (Rb) as trace elements. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Breast milk samples were collected from 75 lactating mothers in Tehran, Iran, during the early feeding stage. Neutron activation analysis was used to quantify elemental amounts in milk samples, and <i>t</i> tests were conducted to identify statistical differences in element levels between mothers of male and female newborns. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Statistically significant differences in the elemental composition of milk samples were found based on newborn infants' sex. Mothers of female newborns had notably higher mean levels of Br (14.8 mg/kg versus 11.3 mg/kg, <i>p</i> = 0.011), Cl (10.16 mg/g versus 7.10 mg/g, <i>p</i> = 0.009), and Na (6.18 mg/g versus 4.45 mg/g, <i>p</i> = 0.017) compared with mothers with male newborns. Although Ca, K, I, Al, and Rb did not show statistically substantial differences, there was a trend toward elevated levels of Al, I, and Ca in the milk of mothers with the females. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The analysis reveals sex-based variations in human milk composition, with elevated levels of Br, Cl, and Na observed in mothers of female newborns. These findings suggest that infant sex may influence the elemental profile of maternal milk, highlighting the need for further research to uncover the mechanisms behind these differences and their potential implications for improving infant nutrition and health.</p>","PeriodicalId":9142,"journal":{"name":"Breastfeeding Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"256-260"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142881238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to compare the breastfeeding behaviors of mothers toward infants in different ethnic groups. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This descriptive cross-sectional study included women of four ethnic groups (Assyrian, Turkish, Arab, and Kurdish) living in Mardin, Turkey. The study was completed with 180 Assyrian, 184 Turkish, 175 Arab, and 169 Kurdish women. In total, 708 women participated in this study. Data were collected between August 12, 2024, and September 22, 2024. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The highest rate of traditional breastfeeding practices was seen in Kurdish (99.4%), whereas this rate was 97.3% in Turkish, 96% in Arab, and 84.4% in Assyrian. The highest rate of giving breast milk immediately after birth was in Assyrian (71.7%), while this rate was 69.3% in Turkish, 61.9% in Kurdish, and 47% in Arab (<i>p</i> = 0.000). The rate of those who waited for three calls to prayer to feed the baby was 13.1% in Kurdish, 11.3% in Arab, 9.5% in Turkish, and 7.9% in Assyrian. The rate of those who did not give the first milk (colostrum) to the baby was 15.8% in Assyrian, 11.7% in Turkish, 6.5% in Kurdish, and 6% in Arab. The rate of those who give sugared water as the baby's first nutrient was 37.5% in Arab, 20.8% in Kurdish, 11.7% in Turkish, and 9.2% in Assyrian. Increased education levels were associated with decreased rates of the presence of traditional practices. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> This study provides novel results regarding the comparison of breastfeeding behaviors among ethnic groups living in the same city. Comparing breastfeeding practices across the four ethnic groups allowed us to better understand different breastfeeding practices, which could lead to the development of culturally sensitive interventions to improve the health of children and mothers. Educating the community about the benefits of breastfeeding and the risks associated with some traditional practices could contribute to public health.</p>","PeriodicalId":9142,"journal":{"name":"Breastfeeding Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"267-276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143188056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
