Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A survey was conducted at midwifery centers that provide lactation guidance in the Kansai region. About half of the respondents had no prior knowledge of infant oral care, and when they did have knowledge, a higher percentage brushed their infants' teeth after 10 months. Teeth alignment (31%) and care (29%) were the most common concerns about infants' oral conditions. Breastfeeding positioning was performed in the manner instructed by the hospital/midwifery center in 90% of the cases. 73.1% of the lactating women felt that there was a difference in breast condition between the left and right breast. The most common dietary concerns among lactating women were "avoiding oily foods" and "vegetable intake. Vegetable intake was higher than that of non-pregnant women of the same age group. Liquid milk was recognized by most nursing mothers (as of 2019).
