Sucking Behavior Differences Between Directly Breast-fed and Bottle-fed Infants: A Rapid Review
Introduction: Breastfeeding is an important activity to fulfill nutrition in neonates.
This activity has a long-term influence on neonatal growth and development.
Breastfeeding can affect the child's sensory processes, motor function, and
nutritional intake. Different coordination of sucking behavior can occur between
directly breastfed and bottle-fed. The anatomy between the nipple and the bottle
nipple makes differences in the angle of the mouth, jaw movement, sucking quantity,
duration of the pause between sucks, and sucking pressure. This study was
conducted to determine the differences in sucking behavior in infants who directly
breastfed and bottle-fed. Methods: A literature review in the form of a rapid review
was conducted in this research using PRISMA (Preferred reporting items for
systematic reviews and meta-analyses) with keywords and conjunctions “AND”
according to the Boolean operator method from four databases (PubMed, Science
direct, springer, and nature) that match to the inclusion and exclusions criteria.
Result: After reviewing 597 articles, four articles were included. All four articles
have the same design study, which is cross-sectional. The study contained four
articles that compared sucking behavior among infants who directly breastfed and
bottle-fed. The sucking behavior shows a greater result in infants who directly
breastfed. The differences that occur are not all significantly different. Various
types of teat may influence the study’s results. Conclusion: Sucking behavior
between breast-fed and bottle-fed infants shows insignificant differences in the
mouth's angles and the jaws' movement. The sucking quantity, duration of the pause
between sucks, and sucking pressure show varying results in each article. The
results of significant and insignificant differences are presented in several articles.
