Hela den studien gick ut på detta:
the available evidence
demonstrated no apparent risks in recommending, as a
general policy, exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6
months of life in both developing and developed country
settings.
Alltså att det inte finns någon direkt risk att alla länder, u- som i-länder politiskt rekommenderar 6 månaders helammning. Dom gör dock uppmärksam på:
Thus, with the caveat that individual infants must still
be managed individually, so that insufficient growth or
other adverse outcomes are not ignored and appropriate
interventions are provided,
Att alla barn måste hanteras individuellt och alla klarar sig inte på bara bröstmjölk.
Det var vad den studien gick ut på.
"We found no objective evidence of a ?weanling?s dilemma.? Infants who are exclusively breastfed for 6 months experience less morbidity from gastrointestinal infection than those who are mixed breastfed as of 3 or 4 months, and no deficits have been demonstrated in growth among infants from either developing or developed countrieswho are exclusively breastfed for 6 months./.../ Although infants should still be managed individually so that insufficient growth or other adverse outcomes are not ignored and appropriate interventions are provided, the available evidence demonstrates no apparent risks in recommending, as public health policy, exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life in both developing and developedcountry settings."
Sammanställningen gick ut på att undersöka huruvida det fanns något som talade emot 6-månadersrekommendationen eftersom det fanns (och finns) en diskussion kring detta. De kom fram till att 6-månadersrekommendationen skulle stå kvar. Dessutom finns massor med annan information i artikeln, t.ex:
"The epidemiologic evidence is now overwhelming that, even in developed countries, breastfeeding protects against gastrointestinal and (to a lesser extent) respiratory infection, and that the protective effect is enhanced with greater duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding".
"Prolonged and exclusive breastfeeding has also been associated with a reduced risk of the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and of atopic disease,and some studies even suggest acceleration of neurocognitive development and protection against long-term chronic conditions and diseases like obesity, type I diabetes mellitus, Crohn?s disease, and lymphoma. Maternal health benefits have also received considerable attention in developed countries, including possible protection against breast cancer among premenopausal women, ovarian cancer, and osteo-porosis".
Det här börjar dock gå lite väl OT... Och jag hoppas verkligen inte jag framstår som otrevlig, jag har egentligen inte alls lust att diskutera, det bara det att Agnes Wold i amningssammanhang får det att sticka så i ögonen på mig
