【本報綜合報導】英國一項研究發現,喝母乳的寶寶在童年時期肺部較健康。原因可能是吸吮的動作能增加肺活量,加上餵哺母乳的時間通常較奶瓶喝奶更長。英研究團隊已著手研發模仿母乳設計的奶瓶。
這項研究針對英國懷特島1456名10歲大的孩童為對象,這項觀察持續到他們10歲。其中三分之一的研究對象喝母乳的時間至少長達四個月。研究結果發現,這些孩子在深呼吸之後,能以較快的速度吐出較多空氣,證明他們肺部功能較良好。
研究已證實,餵母乳能讓寶寶在童年初期避免罹患呼吸器官的疾病,但和童年後期的肺部健康狀況沒有太大關聯。
根據胸腔醫學期刊(Thorax)表示,部分原因是因為吸吮的動作能增加肺活量,加上餵哺母乳的時間通常比用奶瓶喝奶更長。
英國研究團隊則認為,改變奶瓶的設計,也許也能夠達到這種效果。
位於懷德島的大衛海德氣喘與過敏研究中心阿薛德(Syed Arshad)醫師表示,「這些寶寶從事的行為,就像我們建議年紀較大的病人進行的肺部復健動作一樣。」
平均而言,吸母乳的力量是吸奶瓶力量的三倍,且吸取母乳的時間較長。 阿薛德表示,研究團隊正與奶瓶製造業者進行一項模仿餵哺母乳的奶瓶設計。他表示,「沒有人能懷疑母乳對孩童的好處,但現在我們也許能為那些無法親自餵哺母乳的婦女,設計一款相仿的奶瓶。」

Baby to drink breast milk than healthy lung
NEW YORK】 reports of a British study found that drinking breast milk in the baby's childhood than the health of the lungs. May be due to the sucking action to increase lung capacity, together with the breast-feeding time is usually longer than the milk bottle. British research team has begun research and development designed to mimic breast milk bottle.
The study for the British Isle of Wight 1456 10-year-old children are targeted, this observation until they are 10 years old. One third of the subjects drank milk at least as long as four months. The results found that these children are in a deep breath, in order to be able to quickly spit out more air speed to prove that they are better lung function.
Research has confirmed that breast-fed babies can be avoided in early childhood, suffering from respiratory diseases, but the latter part of his childhood and the health of the lungs do not have much relevance.
According to the Journal of Thoracic Medicine (Thorax) said, in part because of the sucking action to increase lung capacity, together with the breast-feeding time is usually longer than milk bottle.
UK research team believes that changes in the design of the bottle, may also be able to achieve this effect.
David Wilder is located in the island's Hyde asthma and allergy research center Xue Afghanistan (Syed Arshad) doctor said that the "baby acts, as we suggest that older patients with pulmonary rehabilitation moves like."
On average, breast-suction force of the suction bottle is three times the force and draw breast milk for a longer time. Ah Xue said that the research team is working with manufacturers to carry out a bottle to imitate the breast-feeding bottle design. He said that "no one can doubt the benefits of breast-feeding for children, but now we may be able personally to those who can not breast-feeding women, a design similar to that of the bottle."
