Download or read book Hospital Support for Breastfeeding written by National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (U.S.). Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Childhood obesity is an epidemic. In the US, 1 preschooler in 5 is at least overweight, and half of these are obese. Breastfeeding helps protect against childhood obesity. A baby's risk of becoming an overweight child goes down with each month of breastfeeding. In the US, most babies start breastfeeding, but within the first week, half have already been given formula, and by 9 months, only 31% of babies are breastfeeding at all. Hospitals can either help or hinder mothers and babies as they begin to breastfeed. The Baby- Friendly Hospital Initiative describes Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding that have been shown to increase breastfeeding rates by providing support to mothers. Unfortunately, most US hospitals do not fully support breastfeeding; they should do more to make sure mothers can start and continue breastfeeding." - p. 1

Download or read book Review of WIC Food Packages written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-08-06 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. This, the second report of this series, provides a summary of the work of phase I of the study, and serves as the analytical underpinning for phase II in which the committee will report its final conclusions and recommendations.
Download or read book Maternal Experiences Associated with Optimal Breastfeeding Behavior and the Role of Breastfeeding in Moderating Child Risk of Obesity written by Stacy Janette Carling and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background While clearly beneficial, some women do not engage in optimal breastfeeding practices. In addition, the impact of breastfeeding on early obesity development is unclear. The purpose of this research was to gain new insights regarding maternal barriers to exclusive breastfeeding behavior using an innovative mixed methods approach, and to investigate the impact of breastfeeding on infant-weight gain trajectories. Methods Longitudinal data from rural, central New York (N=595), spanning pregnancy through 2 years postpartum were used in this research. Data collection involved medical record audits and mailed survey questionnaires. Analytic methods included writing, coding and interpreting biographies built from survey data, building infant weight-gain trajectories using latent-class modeling techniques, and performing multivariate logistic regression procedures to assess odds of exclusively breastfeeding for 4 months and odds of membership in rising WFL z-score trajectories. Results Exclusive breastfeeding for 4 months was more likely to occur in women who were older, higher income, more flexible, more determined and driven, had more social support, lower early pregnancy BMI, and/or intended to exclusively breastfeed.! The odds of exclusively breastfeeding for 4 months were higher in women who were older, less career-oriented, and intended to exclusively breastfeed. For less educated women, those with a lower external locus of control were more likely to exclusively breastfeed than those with a higher external locus of control. Children with a rising weight-gain trajectory were more likely to have mothers who were obese in early pregnancy, had a high school education or less, and smoked during pregnancy. In addition, children whose mothers exhibited at least two of these characteristics were more likely to have a rising weight-gain trajectory if they breastfed for less than 2 months when compared to children who breastfed for more than 4 months. Conclusions Breastfeeding occurs during a critical window of child development when infants may be more susceptible to the effects of maternal risk factors for child obesity. Understanding population-specific barriers to optimal breastfeeding behavior is critical, particularly in high-risk populations, for the development of appropriate interventions. Evidence shows longer breastfeeding duration may be protective against accelerated infant growth that increases the risk of future overweight and obesity.!
Download or read book Clinical Maternal Fetal Medicine written by Hung N. Winn and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-06-15 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maternal-fetal medicine has evolved over the last three decades to become a well-established discipline. The current understanding of maternal physiology and pathophysiology has allowed us to obtain more accurate diagnoses and to provide more effective treatments of medical, surgical, and obstetrical maternal complications. More importantly, the fetus has become a distinct individual whose in utero environment has become much more accessible to study, diagnose, and treatment. Clinical Maternal-Fetal Medicine addresses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of common medical and obstetrical maternal complications and fetal complications. It provides a concise and timely review of clinically relevant topics in this discipline. The textbook is a comprehensive reference covering the wide range of disciplines that make up maternal-fetal medicine.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Maternal Pre pregnancy Weight and Breastfeeding Initiation written by Andrea K. Wile and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Canada, 37.2% of women of childbearing age are classified as overweight or obese. This percentage is alarming as excess body weight is not only a major risk factor for chronic diseases but it is also linked to maternal-child outcomes including breastfeeding initiation. This paper-based thesis is comprised of three sections. The first section provides a review of previous research examining the association between mothers’ pre-pregnancy weight and breastfeeding initiation. The second section is a manuscript for publication describing an analysis of administrative data for 1,079 mother and newborn dyads. Regression analysis was used to predict breastfeeding initiation based on women’s pre-pregnancy weight after adjusting for 10 variables reflecting attributes of the mothers, birth processes, and newborns. A statistically significant association was detected indicating obese mothers are less likely to initiate breastfeeding compared to normal weight mothers. The final section is a paper outlining the benefits and challenges of conducting secondary analysis of administrative data for research purposes."--Page ii.
Download or read book Infant Feeding written by John Worobey and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although infant feeding may be considered the primal form of motherinfant interaction, its treatment as a worthy subject of scientific investigation has only recently ascended to a position of importance. The reasons for our current interest are varied and important. For example, over the past fifty years the methods for studying feeding have improved, whether one speaks of analysing the composition of milk or the synchrony of the dyadic give-and-take during a feeding. Secondly, with breastfeeding rates having risen dramatically recently, the correlates of this societal change are undeniably of increased empirical interest. Finally, the current child obesity epidemic has propelled infant feeding to the forefront of the variety of public health strategies that will be needed to slow this crisis. The contributors to the present volume are all well-established researchers in the area of mother-infant interactions that surround infant feeding. With a mixture of theoretical underpinnings, methodological advances, and samples of current research, this book should serve as a useful reference for scientists and practitioners interested in the behavioral and health issues that surround infant feeding.
