Current Evidence of the Effect of Breastfeeding on Ear Molding Outcomes: A Scoping Review.

Puntos clave

To assess the impact of breastfeeding on ear molding outcomes and related biological mechanisms.
Conducted a scoping review of existing literature
Evaluated evidence around breastfeeding and ear molding
Explored the role of estrogen and hyaluronic acid in auricular cartilage properties
No evidence found linking breastfeeding to increased estrogen levels
Breastfeeding did not show improvement in ear molding outcomes
Impact of hyaluronic acid on cartilage properties remains unclear

Resumen

There is insufficient evidence to suggest that breastfeeding leads to increased circulating estrogen levels in infants, increased auricular cartilage malleability, or improved ear molding outcomes. The direct impact of hyaluronic acid on the mechanical properties of auricular cartilage in vivo remains unclear.
