摘要

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the correlation of pacifier use to infant sucking ability and maternal perception of milk supply. Methods: A prospective study was carried out at a medical center located in north Taiwan. Two hundred and eighty healthy mothers and their full-term, singleton infants were eligible for enrollment. The structured questionnaires were used to obtain the breastfeeding information at the third day, two weeks and four weeks. Complete information at two and four weeks was obtained for 75% and 54%. Results: Based on the study results, we found no significant correlation between pacifier use and infant sucking technique. Infant sucking technique matures gradually Pacifier-user group had lower maternal perception of milk supply (p ＜.01) and exclusive breastfeeding rate in the three postpartum durations (p＜.01; p＜,.001; P ＜.001) than non pacifier users. Conclusions: Pacifier use was negatively associated with maternal perception of milk supply and breastfeeding rate. Pacifier use may be a marker of breastfeeding difficulties, or correlation with Jess confidence in mothering, rather than a true cause of early weaning.
