Journal ArticleDOI
Early contact versus separation: effects on mother-infant interaction one year later.
Ksenia Bystrova,Valentina Ivanova,Maigun Edhborg,Ann Sofi Matthiesen,Anna Berit Ransjö-Arvidson,Rifkat Mukhamedrakhimov,Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg,Ann-Marie Widström +7 more
TL;DR: Skin-to-skin contact, for 25 to 120 minutes after birth, early suckling, or both positively influenced mother-infant interaction 1 year later when compared with routines involving separation of mother and infant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gastric suction in healthy newborn infants. Effects on circulation and developing feeding behaviour.
Ann-Marie Widström,A. B. Ransjö-Arvidson,K. Christensson,A.-S. Matthiesen,J. Winberg,K. Uvnäs-Moberg +5 more
TL;DR: The physiological side‐effects induced by gastric suction are minor, but it seemed to be unpleasant for the child and no clear advantages are gained by the procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Newborn behaviour to locate the breast when skin-to-skin: a possible method for enabling early self-regulation
Ann-Marie Widström,Gunilla Lilja,P. Aaltomaa-Michalias,A. Dahllöf,M. Lintula,Eva Nissen,Eva Nissen +6 more
TL;DR: A more detailed analysis of the infant’s behavioural sequence that begins immediately after birth and terminates with grasping the nipple, suckling and then falling asleep is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different patterns of oxytocin, prolactin but not cortisol release during breastfeeding in women delivered by caesarean section or by the vaginal route
Eva Nissen,Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg,Kristin Svensson,Solveig Stock,Ann-Marie Widström,Ann-Marie Widström,Jan Winberg +6 more
TL;DR: Logistic regression analysis revealed mode of delivery and infant's age at first breastfeed to be the most important, independent variables showing a relation to the release pattern of oxytocin on day 2 and the duration of the exclusive breastfeeding period in the V.D. group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term effects of early suckling and touch of the nipple on maternal behaviour.
Ann-Marie Widström,V. Wahlberg,A.-S. Matthiesen,P. Eneroth,Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg,S. Werner,Jan Winberg +6 more
TL;DR: The infant's early touch of the mother's areola and nipple seemed to have positively influenced the mother/infant relationship during the first four days after birth, and was associated with lower maternal gastrin levels which suggests that maternal neuroendocrine functions were also influenced.
