Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeast‐Based Supplement and Breast Milk Supply: A Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Trial
Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast-based supplements (SCYS) are frequently used as galactagogues with limited evidence of their efficacy. This study investigates the effect of SCYS on human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) concentration and indicators of milk supply. Sixty-eight breastfeeding women with a healthy singleton infant aged 1-7 months were randomly assigned to consume a SCYS product (5 g/day) or placebo for 4 weeks. The primary outcome was the c…
A qualitative analysis of infant and young child feeding practices in rural Rwanda
Objective: To explore and gain an in-depth understanding of the factors influencing child feeding practices among rural caregivers in Rwanda. Design: In-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and coded. Data were analysed inductively using thematic analysis. Setting: Rutsiro District, Western Province, Rwanda. Participan…
Iodine intake and status during pregnancy and lactation before and after government initiatives to improve iodine status, in Palmerston North, New Zealand: A pilot study
Iodine deficiency during pregnancy and lactation may adversely affect fetal and infant development. Two initiatives were introduced in New Zealand to prevent deficiency: (1) mandatory fortification of bread with iodised salt; and (2) provision of a subsidised iodine supplement (150 μg) for all pregnant and breastfeeding women. The aim of this study was to assess iodine intake and status among a self-selecting sample of pregnant and lactating wome…

A household‐level sweet potato‐based infant food to complement vitamin A supplementation initiatives
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) prevalence in Sub-Saharan Africa is high in spite of vitamin A supplementation programmes among children in most countries. Plant-based complementary foods remain the key source of nutrients in addition to breast milk for infants in lower income countries. Cereal-legume blends are superior in protein and energy densities compared with maize, millet or sorghum-only porridge. However, unfortified cereal-legume and cereal-…
The development of a surveillance system to monitor emergency food relief in New York State
A representative sample of emergency food relief (EFR) programs was selected on the basis of a census of 1,488 EFR programs in New York State. The census was a two-stage telephone survey. EFR was provided in every county although there was considerable variation in the amount of EFR per county. The soup kitchen and food pantry components of EFR had to be differentiated. The surveillance system was operational one year after the census began
