Filter by:This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a breastfeeding support system on breast milk quantity and mother-infant attachment in preterm infants. This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted in the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a hospital in eastern Turkey between January and June 2022. The population of the study consisted of preterm infants and their mothers who received treatment and care in the NICU between the dates of the study. The study sample consisted of 70 preterm infants (35 experimental, 35 control) and their mothers who met the research criteria.
This study was a longitudinal design. The questionnaire on exclusive breastfeeding was administered and was validated against the deuterium oxide dose-to-mother technique to assess human milk intake of babies aged 3 and 6 mo.
Objective：The aim of this trial is to assess effects of Kieember and Yashili infant formula on body growth, behavior development, intestinal comfort, infectious diseases, allergic diseases, the absorption of nutrients and gut microbiota as compared to breast-milk in term infants aged 0-3 months. Participants：150 healthy term infants aged less than 30 days at entry to study. Study Design: A open-label,parallel, controlled trial. Arms, Groups, and Intervention: (1) Breast milk-fed group: fed with human breast milk; (2) Breast Milk Simulated Formula Group：fed with breast milk simulated infant formula (Ruibuen®Kieember, Phase I); (3) Traditional Formula Group: fed with traditional infant formula (Ruibuen®Yashili, Phase I). Intervention Duration: 90 days. Visits: 1month and 3month old. Outcome measures: (1)Biochemical detection of feces (total fat, fatty acids, calcium, nitrogen);(2)Stool characteristics (frequency, color, volume, and stool consistency);(3)Anthropometric parameters (body length, body weight, and head circumferences);(4)Temperament and adaptive behavior;(5)Gut microbiota;(6)General health and wellbeing;(7)concomitant medications and adverse events.
The study purposes are to compare the effects of different combinations of sensory interventions on newborns' pain responses, physiological distress (heart rate and oxygen saturation), and crying event during heel stick procedures.
Epidemiological studies link early exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with health consequences in the newborn. Experimental studies have shown the impact of POPs on the gut microbiota. This project aims to characterize the POPs content in breast milk in an exposed population and to evaluate the impact on breast milk composition and intestinal microbiota establishment in the newborn. The health consequences will be evaluated by the clinical follow-up of the newborn.
Twenty-seven hospitals in China will participate in the study, which aims to increase breastfeeding rate in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and reduce the clinical complications in very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants.
Objectives: To compare the effects of two different methods of individualized protein fortification of breast milk on the early growth of VLBW preterm infants. Design: VLBW preterm infants ≤ 32 weeks of gestational age were included in the study and randomized into two groups according to the method of breast milk fortification. In the targeted protein fortification group, breast milk samples were analyzed daily via mid-infrared spectroscopy and additional protein was provided to maintain an intake of 4.5 g/kg/day. In the adjustable protein fortification group, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were monitored weekly, and if the level was < 5 mg/dL, the amount of protein fortification was gradually increased to an "estimated" maximum level of 4.5 g/kg/day, as per the policy of neonatal intensive care unit. The cumulative amounts of protein, energy, fat, and carbohydrate given to infants prior to study commencement and during the study period were calculated. Anthropometric measurements were performed in both groups weekly for 4 weeks to compare their growth, and blood data including pH, base deficit, and urea, creatinine, and albumin levels were collected.
