Abstract
Background and Objective: Breastfeeding has contraceptive, behavioral, hormonal and metabolic positive outcomes, and it can affect on maternal blood pressure, hypotension and hypertension. We aimed to assess the impact of breastfeeding on maternal brachial artery pulse pressure in the women with natural labour and those with a history of preeclampsia.
Material and Methods: The participants were 34 women with natural pregnancy (group I) and 18 with the history of preclampsia (group II). Mother’s blood pressure was recorded 3 times simultaneously from right and left brachial artery in supine position. The repeated measure ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.
Results: There was no significant change in pulse pressure ( PP) with respect to time between two groups. This condition was similar in right and left side. In either sides, significant difference was observed for systolic, diastolic or PP values between two groups. A uniform trend including an increase of blood pressure at 5 minutes and a decrease after 30 minutes was also observed.
Conclusion: The brachial PP is abnormally higher in mothers with preeclampsia. Similarly in both sides, breastfeeding leads to systolic and diastolic changes but that is not the case for PP.

Abstract
Background: Breast milk is the most suitable nutrition for the neonates. Breast milk and breastfeeding duration can contribute to decreased mortality rate, intestinal bleeding, and various neonatal diseases (e.g., digestive and respiratory diseases). It can also reduce the risk of diabetes and obesity in childhood and adulthood. Therefore, the estimation of breastfeeding duration and recognition of the effective factors in this regard can lead to designing and implementing appropriate programs, which can provide the foundations for the modification of breastfeeding behavior.
Methods: This survival study was conducted on 501 mothers with healthy and single birth neonates born within March 21, 2011-September 21, 2012 with active medical records in Aqqala city, Golestan province, Iran, in the second half of 2014. The data were collected from the information registered at the archives of health centers by in-person visiting. In addition, some of the information was collected through phone contacts. The duration of breastfeeding was estimated in month. Data analysis was carried out using the Cox regression in the STATA software, version 11.
Results: According to the results, the mean and median of breastfeeding were 20.44 and 22 months, respectively. According to the Cox regression, maternal ethnicity, living with family, birth spacing, type of milk consumed along with complementary nutrition, and type of neonatal nutrition during the hospital stay of the infant had a significant relationship with the early cessation of breastfeeding.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study and the identified factors affecting the breastfeeding duration, it seems necessary to provide the essential trainings for the young mothers and pregnant women to avoid of reducing the duration of breastfeeding. These educations can be included in the programs of the Health centers of the universities and urban and rural medical clinics.

Abstract
Background: Just as breastfeeding is important, breastfeeding is one of the most important stages of mother and baby life.

Anxiety, restlessness, weight loss, and disruption of the child's relationship to and trust in the mother are the most common.
Methods: This study was a descriptive review and the content of infant weaning in traditional Iranian medical literature was studied. For this purpose, 8 books were selected from the most prestigious sources of traditional Iranian written medicine and extracted and extracted from the lactation section on how to wean. Then the contents of each title from the extracted notes were put together. The texts were translated with difficult prose simplifications and Arabic texts were finally summarized by summarizing these titles.
Results: In ancient medical texts of Iran, the weaning of the baby from mother was reported. It was believed that the best time for a baby to breastfeed is about one year and nine months to two years of age. The best season is spring and then autumn and weaning are not recommended in the summer heat. Breastfeeding should be gradual and gradually replacing breast-feeding with age-appropriate foods. In the alternative food chain, they have recommended a range of suitable foods, including breadcrumbs, egg yolk with breast milk, chicken breast, and chicken salads. It should be noted when breastfeeding that the child does not become dehydrated, so it is advisable to consume sufficient fluids, including cucumber juice, buttermilk, and purslane juice, as well as preventive measures to be taken with henna on the palm of the hand and head. Breastfeeding with something bitter that does not harm the baby is another recommended procedure.
Conclusions: Studying Iranian traditional medicine texts and using the recommended wisdom (after updating them) along with the current methods used may help in better management of conditions such as in the phase of weaning breastfeeding With the least amount of physical and psychological damage Helps, with specialized recommendations for each individual, tailored to each season, appropriate foods and other harmless recommendations.
