| dc.description.abstract | Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months, but expressing, or pumping milk has become common in high-income settings. While feeding human milk has long been equated with breastfeeding, there is some evidence of differences in feeding responsiveness and other feeding behaviours differing by feeding modality, that is, directly breast-feeding, or mixed breast- and bottle-feeding expressed human milk, that may impact infant growth. There is paucity of research comparing infant growth by human milk feeding modality. Additionally, discrepancies in infant growth measuring practices by healthcare practitioners could further complicate interpretation of infant growth data. | |
