[Lactation and growth in the first trimester of life].
It has been studied the antropometrical parameters (weight, length, corporal mass index, biceps skinfold, triceps, subscapula and suprailiaca) in 170 children breast-fed and in 149 artificial-fed at birth, one month and the three months time life. At the first month of life it is observed a beneficial effect of the breast-fed above the artificial one in weight (p less than 0.001), length (p less than 0.05), corporal mass index (p less than 0.01), subscapula fold (p less than 0.01), suprailiaca fold (p less than 0.05) and sum of four folds (p less than 0.05), which disapprove at the first quarter of life. It could be suggested that breast-feeding has an effect on the children rising and growth because of its nutritional value and the decrease of infections, although in developed countries these facts are less demonstrable.
