Perceived barriers and facilitators to breast-feeding support practices in hospitals and birthing facilities in the USA
Objective: The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) designation is known to increase breast-feeding rates in the USA. However, less is known about barriers and facilitators to breast-feeding support practices in BFHI hospitals and how they differ from non-BFHI hospitals. We examined what barriers and facilitators are perceived to affect breast-feeding practices among BFHI and non-BFHI hospital administrators and further explored factors that …

Interventions to prevent obesity in Latinx children birth to 6 years globally
Objective: To conduct a systematic review of obesity prevention interventions in Latinx children ages birth to 6 years published in any language from 2010–2020. Design: We used PubMed, ERIC, PsycINFO, Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Google Scholar databases to conduct a search on May 1 2020, January 1 2021 and November 1 2022. We included randomised controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies and non-randomised interve…

Dietary Diversity and Dietary Patterns in School-Aged Children in Western Kenya
Inadequate diet among children has both immediate and long-term negative health impacts, but little is known about dietary diversity and dietary patterns of school-aged children in rural Kenya. We assessed dietary diversity and identified dietary patterns in school-aged children in Western Kenya using a latent class approach. We collected dietary intake using a 24 h dietary recall among students in elementary schools in two rural villages (hereaf…
Maternal Stress and Excessive Weight Gain in Infancy
Rapid weight gain in infancy increases the risk of developing obesity early in life and contributes significantly to racial and ethnic disparities in childhood obesity. While maternal perceived stress is associated with childhood obesity, little is known about the impact it has on infant weight gain. Therefore, this study explores the impact of maternal perceived stress on change in weight-for-length (WFL) z-scores and the risk of rapid weight ga…
Timing of WIC Enrollment and Responsive Feeding among Low-Income Women in the US
We examined associations between the timing of The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) enrollment and responsive feeding and assessed food security as a possible effect modifier. We used data from the nationally representative WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study-2. Our sample includes women-infant dyads interviewed through the first 13 months of age ( n = 1672). We dichotomized WIC enrollment a…
Recreational Cannabis Legalization in the US and Maternal Use during the Preconception, Prenatal, and Postpartum Periods
In the United States (US), recreational cannabis use is on the rise. Since 2011, 11 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use. As additional states consider legalizing, there is an urgent need to assess associations between recreational cannabis legalization and maternal use in the preconception, prenatal, and postpartum periods-all critical windows for maternal and child health. Using cross-sectional …
Alcohol Consumption during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Emerging but limited evidence suggests that alcohol consumption has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study assessed: (1) whether drinking behaviors changed during the pandemic; and, (2) how those changes were impacted by COVID-19-related stress. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey with a convenience sample of U.S. adults over 21 years in May 2020. We conducted adjusted linear regressions to assess COVID-19 stress and alcohol …
Participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program is associated with fewer barriers to serving healthier foods in early care and education
CACFP directors reported fewer barriers to serving healthier foods in child care centers. Still, cost and children's food preferences are persistent barriers to serving healthier foods in ECE. Future research should evaluate characteristics of CACFP participation that may alleviate these barriers, and whether barriers emerge or persist following 2017 rule changes to CACFP nutrition standards
State Regulations to Support Children’s Cultural and Religious Food Preferences in Early Care and Education
Most states lacked regulations consistent with the benchmark. Health professionals can help encourage ECE programs to consider cultural and religious food preferences of children in meal planning. And, if feasible, states may consider additional regulations supporting cultural and religious preferences of children in future updates to regulations
Maternal predictors of infant beverage consumption
Objective: The goal of the present study was to estimate prevalence and maternal risk factors for infant beverage consumption. Design: Observational birth cohort. Setting: Central North Carolina, USA. Participants: Mothers 20–36 weeks pregnant were surveyed every 3 months through their infant’s first year ( n 666) on their sociodemographics and infant’s consumption frequency of 100 % fruit and vegetable juices and sugar-sweetened-beverages (SSB).…

Influence of maternal diet on flavor transfer to amniotic fluid and breast milk and children's responses
Repeated exposure to food and food acceptability in infants and toddlers
Associations between timing and quality of solid food introduction with infant weight-for-length z-scores at 12 months

The family child care home environment and children's diet quality
Childcare Providers’ Possession or Use of Marijuana, Tobacco, or Alcohol While Caring for Children
Objectives. To evaluate US state regulations regarding marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol to determine the extent to which states attempt to govern these substances in early care and education (ECE) settings. Methods. Two independent reviewers assessed regulations enacted by December 2016 for all states and the District of Columbia. Reviewers compared regulations to national standards on the possession or use of marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol in EC…
