Searching for Evidence-Based Interventions When Infant Malnutrition Persists in the Setting of Support for Exclusive Breastfeeding
Adverse maternal, fetal, and newborn outcomes among pregnant women with Sars-CoV-2 infection
Promoting Transparent and Equitable Discussion of Controversial Research
Early infant growth impairment in the setting of frequent exclusive breast feeding
Newborn weight change and predictors of underweight in the neonatal period in Guinea‐Bissau, Nepal, Pakistan and Uganda
In low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), growth impairment is common; however, the trajectory of growth over the course of the first month has not been well characterised. To describe newborn growth trajectory and predictors of growth impairment, we assessed growth frequently over the first 30 days among infants born ≥2000 g in Guinea-Bissau, Nepal, Pakistan and Uganda. In this cohort of 741 infants, the mean birth weight was 3036 ± 424 g. For…
Why you should share your data during a pandemic
box The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic can be partly attributed to a lack of evidence to inform effective prevention and treatment. The global scientific community has been racing against time to rapidly generate such evidence. Prospective meta-analysis (PMA) and other innovative approaches for pooling data from multiple studies are increasingly used and have the potential to expedite the pace at which knowledge is produced, especial…
Barriers to exclusive breast-feeding in Indonesian hospitals
Objective Although initiating breast-feeding is common in Indonesia, rates of exclusive breast-feeding are low. Our objective was to identify early barriers to exclusive breast-feeding in Indonesian hospitals. Design Qualitative. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in April–June 2015. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. Setting Indonesian provinces of Jakarta, Banten and West Java. Subjects Fifty-four participants including publ…
Increased public reimbursement for prophylactic visits with dentists associated with increased receipt of preventive dental services in children
Higher state reimbursement for preventive services may increase children's receipt of preventive dental care
Relationship of newborn weight loss to milk supply concern and anxiety
Milk supply concern is the most common reason for breastfeeding discontinuation and maternal anxiety is also associated with reduced breastfeeding duration. Newborn excess weight loss (EWL) could trigger milk supply concern and anxiety and might be amenable to modification. Our objective was to determine the relationship between EWL and the development of milk supply concern and anxiety and the effect of such development on breastfeeding duration…
Positive and negative experiences of breast pumping during the first 6 months
For mothers with breastfeeding difficulties, pumping can be recommended to help establish milk production. However, pumping may present some barriers to successful breastfeeding. Mothers with milk supply concern may be at higher risk of barriers to successful breastfeeding. No previous studies have described experiences of pumping among mothers with milk supply concern. We conducted 10 focus groups of 56 mothers who had milk supply concern in the…
Development of the breast milk expression experience measure
Exclusive breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition through 6 months. Recent research has shown that milk expression may affect breastfeeding duration. A woman's experience with milk expression might mediate the effect of milk expression on breastfeeding duration. The objective of this study was to develop a measure to evaluate women's experiences of expressing milk. Based on the available literature, we developed a brief measure of the Breast Mil…
