Book excerpt: The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) began 40 years ago as a pilot program and has since grown to serve over 8 million pregnant women, and mothers of and their infants and young children. Today the program serves more than a quarter of the pregnant women and half of the infants in the United States, at an annual cost of about $6.2 billion. Through its contribution to the nutritional needs of pregnant, breastfeeding, and post-partum women; infants; and children under 5 years of age; this federally supported nutrition assistance program is integral to meeting national nutrition policy goals for a significant portion of the U.S. population. To assure the continued success of the WIC, Congress mandated that the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reevaluate the program's food packages every 10 years. In 2014, the USDA asked the Institute of Medicine to undertake this reevaluation to ensure continued alignment with the goals of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In this third report, the committee provides its final analyses, recommendations, and the supporting rationale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the scientific basis for nutrition risk criteria used to establish eligibility for participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The volume also examines the specific segments of the WIC population at risk for each criterion, identifies gaps in the scientific knowledge base, formulates recommendations regarding appropriate criteria, and where applicable, recommends values for determining who is at risk for each criterion. Recommendations for program action and research are made to strengthen the validity of nutrition risk criteria used in the WIC program.

Download or read book Are Infant Feeding Practices Associated with Early Childhood Overweight and Obesity A Longitudinal Study of Participants of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children written by Miranda Westfall and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is a significant public health issue due to its prevalence and contribution to morbidity and mortality. Obesity prevention efforts in early life are important both because obesity has profound impacts on health status in childhood, and because obesity tracks from childhood to adulthood. The first thousand days in particular - from conception through age two years - may represent a critical period for obesity prevention because taste preferences and metabolic processes are shaped during this period. As such, infant feeding practices - including breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices - may be important predictors of obesity risk. However, there are significant gaps in our knowledge of the relationship between infant feeding practices and childhood obesity. The studies in this dissertation used longitudinal data from the WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study-2 (WIC ITFPS-2) to understand the relationship between infant feeding practices - including breastfeeding duration and intensity, timing of introduction of complementary foods, and early introduction of sugar-sweetened foods and beverages - on weight trajectories and odds of overweight and obesity among low-income children up to age 3 years. Study 1 examined the relationship between breastfeeding duration and weight trajectories from age 6 months to 3 years and odds of overweight/obesity at ages 2-3 years. Mixed-effects regression models indicated that any breastfeeding (exclusive or partial) for at least 6 months and exclusive breastfeeding for at least 3 months were associated with healthier weight trajectories among both boys and girls. Breastfeeding was associated with significantly reduced odds of overweight/obesity for girls but not boys. Compared to girls who were never breastfed, those who were breastfed at all for less than 6 months had 45% lower odds of overweight/obesity while those breastfed at all for 6 months or longer had 65% lower odds of overweight/obesity. Compared to girls who were never exclusively breastfed, girls exclusively breastfed for less than 3 months had 46% lower odds of overweight/obesity and those exclusively breastfed for 3 months or more had 78% lower odds of overweight/obesity. There was evidence of a dose-response relationship between breastfeeding duration and intensity among girls. Compared to girls who were never breastfed, those breastfed for less than 3 months (short duration) had 39% lower odds of overweight/obesity, those partially breastfed for at least 3 months (longer duration, low intensity) had 55% lower odds of overweight/obesity, and those exclusively breastfed for at least 3 months (longer duration, higher intensity) had 79% lower odds of overweight/obesity. Study 2 examined the relationship between timing of introduction of complementary foods and weight trajectories from age 6 months to 3 years and odds of overweight/obesity at ages 2-3 years. Mixed-effects regression models indicated differences in weight trajectories by timing of introduction of complementary foods which varied by sex. Compared to complementary food introduction at 4-6 months, late introduction to complementary foods (at or after 7 months) was associated with less healthy weight trajectories among boys, while early introduction (

Reat and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) modified food packages to address rising rates of child obesity and sub-optimal duration of breastfeeding and offer foods that are more compatible with current dietary guidelines. We collected 24-hour recalls (using Nutrition Data System for Research) and feeding practices data from 97 caregivers of infants (4-12 mo) and toddlers (1-2 y) in 2009 (pre-policy change) and from 121 caregivers in 2011 (post-policy change) in order to compare feeding practices. Results revealed some positive trends between the two study years, including fewer infants receiving cereal, more infants receiving breast milk, and more infants being ever breastfed in 2011 compared to 2009, as well as positive changes that were significant, including later introduction of formula and fewer caregivers adding cereal to infant bottles in 2011 compared to 2009. However, there were also findings that were in the reverse direction of the WIC package changes, including the trend towards more infants receiving complementary foods before 6 months, and more infants receiving juice before 4 months. Our results indicate that, in this community, the WIC policy change was helpful but not sufficient to bring feeding practices into compliance with existing guidelines. This research met all Institutional Review Board guidelines and was supported by a Texas State University research enhancement grant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the effects of the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program on breastfeeding outcomes and maternal employment decisions. This research expands the existing literature using an alternative identification strategy and a broader set of outcomes. Using data from the Infant Feeding Practices Study II, we control for selection bias into WIC using the variation in food prices as an instrumental variable. The results of this study are robust to a number of specification and falsification tests. We find WIC decreases exclusive breastfeeding by nearly 50% and increases work leave duration by over 20%.
