摘要
Twenty-seven 5-8-day-old babies were filmed during normal breast feeding (one feed each). Sucking patterns were determined from the film from a total sample of 17,676 sucks. Intersuck intervals fell on two distributions: one of intervals between sucks during bursts of sucking (1.3 sec and less), and the other of tests between bursts of sucking (1.3 to > 12 sec). As the milk flow dropped towards the end of the feed on each breast, the sucking rate within bursts increased (P <0.05), but there were more (P <0.001) and longer (P <0.001) rests between bursts of sucking. This study provides normative data on a normal population for use in studies of breast feeding. © 1979.
