Résumé : | The Prague Neonatal Behavior Description Technique (PNBDT) in its experimental version is a schema for evaluation of the behavior of the dyad newborn-mother before, during and after breastfeeding. As the breastfeeding itself is taken as a central situational background, especially important for a newborn, because it influences his early interaction, experience and behavior, the mother's breastfeeding technique is also evaluated. To avoid stressing a newborn, the strategy of examination is predominantly based on observation. The observer enters the situation through structured social interaction, provided that the newborn is in the state of spontaneous tranquil alertness. The PNBDT is a psychological behavioral method that allows for the estimation of individual differences in the newborn's behavior and his level of well-being. This method is free from neurological items. Clinical experiences with the PNBDT are positive and the method will be further refined and standardized for clinical use. A separate part of the method is a mother report assessing a newborn's modal behavior based on the Newborn Temperament Questionnaire (NTQ). Using the PNBDT with the NTQ enables a newborn's actual and modal behaviors to be compared |
