  • Breast-feeding duration and child eating characteristics in relation to later vegetable intake in 2–6-year-old children in ten studies throughout Europe

    Open AccessVictoire WT de Wild, Gerry Jager et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2018

Increasing children’s vegetable intake remains challenging; therefore the present study aimed to investigate whether breast-feeding duration predicts vegetable intake in 2–6-year-old children.

The current investigation set out to measure habitual micronutrient intakes at weeks 13, 25, 35 of pregnancy and 6 weeks postpartum using a pro…

  • Diet, physical inactivity and the prevalence of constipation throughout and after pregnancy

    Open AccessEmma Derbyshire, Jill Davies et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2006

Ninety-four …
