A cumizás megzavarhatja a fiúcsecsemők emocionális fejlődését, mivel a cumi akadályozza a fiatal csecsemőt abban, hogy érzelmeit arckifejezéssel hozza környezete tudtára.

A University of Wisconsin-Madison kutatói három, egymástól független vizsgálat alapján összefüggést találtak a fiúcsecsemők gyakori cumizása , illetve az emocionális érési folyamat kifejezési formáinak zavara között.

A Basic and Applied Social Psychology című lapban közölt kutatás volt az első ilyen típusú vizsgálat, mely összefüggést igazolt a pszichológiai kimenetel és a cumihasználat között.

Az amerikai gyermekgyógyász társaság (AAP, American Academy of Pediatrics) és az Egészségügyi Világszervezet (WHO) korábban a cumizás idejének korlátozását javasolt a csecsemők és kisgyermekek esetében. A korábbi kutatások arra utaltak, hogy kedvezően hathat a szoptatásra, ha a csecsemő nem cumizik.

Abstract

Objectives: To review the history of pacifiers and to compile a multidisciplinary literature review, searching for pros and cons with the purpose of providing health professionals with arguments when parents request guidance.

Sources: History and art books, as well as non-medical literature and museums were used in the historical survey. Multidisciplinary data were collected from MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, and The Cochrane Library. Search criteria were: the keyword “pacifiers” present in articles published in the last 5 years that included abstract and were written in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.

Summary of the findings: There is evidence that their precursors have been used since the Neolithic Period to calm down children.

Introduction

Pacifiers are widely used in many parts of the world, despite the fact that both the World Health Organization (1) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (2) advise against their use, especially with children who are being breastfed. Research carried out in Brazil into all of the state capitals with the exception of Rio de Janeiro, in October 1999, revealed that 53% of children less than one year old were using pacifiers (3).

Abstract

Objectives. To evaluate the association between pacifier use and the increased occurrence of acute otitis media (AOM) in an intervention trial.

Methods. Fourteen well-baby clinics were selected to participate in an open, controlled cohort study. These clinics were paired according to the number of children and the social classes of the parents they served. One clinic in each pair was randomly allocated for an intervention, while the other served as a control.
