title: [The adaptation characteristics of infants with a perinatal lesion of the central nervous system in relation to the nature and schedule of their feeding].
abstract: We studied in dynamics 72 babies with cerebral perinatal disturbances aged up to 3 months (32 boys and 40 girls) in City Maternity Homes No 1 and No 4 and in New-Born Pathology Department of City Infant Hospital No 1 in Krasnoyarsk. All babies were divided into four groups according to the character and schedule of feeding: I-st group--babies, fed with mammary milk at the first 2 hours and being fed more than 10 times during the day with obligatory night feeding; II-nd group--babies, fed with mammary milk at the first 2 hours and being fed 6 times during the day usually with night break; III-rd group--babies, fed with mammary milk in 6-8 hours after birth and being fed more than 10 times during the day with obligatory night feeding; IV-th group--babies, fed with mammary milk in 6-8 hours after birth and being fed 6 times during the day with usual night break. We have marked faster tempo of normalization in indices of neurological status and physical development in groups of infants, fed with mammary milk at the first 2 hours and being fed more that 10 times during a day with obligatory night feeding as compared to babies, which were fed according to common schedule. We didn't find the dependence from the stage of perinatal pathology of nerve system. Frequency of functional disturbances in cardio rhythm, malfunctions of gastrointestinal tract, allergy diseases and iron-deficiency anemia in babies, fed with special food in early age (not mammary milk) is evidently higher as compared to babies, fed with mammary milk only. We received the results of examination in dynamics which prove, that mammary milk creates favorable background for the development of adaptation processes in baby organism, which allows faster compensation of residual factors, connected with perinatal disturbances of nerve system.
