Abstract
Introduction: Breastfeeding is an important activity that has a long-term influence on neonatal growth and development. Different coordination of sucking behavior can occur between directly breastfed and bottle-fed. The anatomy between the nipple and the bottle nipple affects sucking behavior. This study was conducted to determine the differences in sucking behavior in infants who directly breastfed and bottle-fed. Methods: A Rapid Review was conducted in this research using PRISMA with keywords and conjunctions “AND” according to the Boolean operator method from 4 databases (PubMed, Science direct, springer, and nature) that match the inclusion and exclusions criteria. Result: After reviewing 597 articles, four articles were included. The study contained four articles that compared sucking behavior among infants who directly breastfed and bottle-fed. The sucking behavior shows a greater result in infants who directly breastfed. Various types of teats may influence the study’s results. Conclusion: Sucking behavior between breast-fed and bottle-fed infants shows insignificant differences in the mouth`s angles and jaw movement. The sucking quantity, duration of the pause between sucks, and sucking pressure show varying results in each article. The results of significant and insignificant differences are presented in several articles.
