Filter by:With appropriate day-time carbohydrate intake and insulin dose, the 24 hour glucose levels and prevalence of night-time hypoglycaemia are comparable in breastfeeding new mothers and formula feeding new mothers with type 1 diabetes at the second after delivery diabetes control compared with the first after delivery diabetes control at Steno Diabetes Center.
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to generate data on the impact of direct-to-consumer "telelactation" (virtual breastfeeding support) services. We will explore the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of these services. Postpartum mothers age 18 and older who have initiated breastfeeding will be recruited at a critical access hospital without access to IBCLCs in rural Pennsylvania and randomized into two study arms: 1) outpatient telelactation services via video calls on personal devices or 2) usual care. Data on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity, as well as perceptions and satisfaction with breastfeeding, will be captured via surveys and in-depth interviews and compared across groups.
The investigators goal is to measure the impact of timing of postpartum contraceptive implant insertion on breastfeeding success and duration and to explore women's experiences with and attitudes towards contraceptive and breastfeeding counseling in the peripartum time period
Despite the importance of breast milk for sick or preterm neonates, there is currently no consensus regarding the use of raw mother's own milk (MOM) in neonatal units. The aims of this study are to: (a) describe factors associated with the use of raw MOM; (b) investigate the association between early use of raw MOM and breastfeeding continuation at discharge and up to 6 months later.
Investigators propose this study in order to answer the following research question: An educational intervention and breastfeeding support at postpartum will increase the frequency and total breastfeeding duration in the intervention group? This is a randomized (with control and intervention groups) study, open and parallel (1: 1 ratio between study groups) with 200 pregnant women in the second or third trimester, according to their body mass index (BMI, kg / m2) with excess weight (BMI> 29 pre-pregnancy weight) and that will address their pregnancy in the public health services and hospitals belonging to the Health Ministry of 5 districts: Coyoacán, Magdalena Contreras, Tlalpan, Xochimilco and Alvaro Obregón in Mexico City. The intervention group and the control group will have the same characteristics for eligibility. The main phases to develop the study are PHASE 1. INTERVENTION DESIGN PHASE 2. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERVENTION. PHASE 3. FOLLOW-UP The intervention will be offered at 3 times: 1) Educational intervention (a workshop) to pregnant obese women. The workshop will be held by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to promote exclusive breastfeeding and to encourage a better breastfeeding performance in accordance with the WHO recommendations. The workshop will be held at convenient times and will be conducted for groups of 8 to 10 participants; 2) Immediate breastfeeding support at hospital by an IBCLC and; 3) The women will be exposed to early telephonic follow-up during the first week of their children´s lives and each month until six months of life. Then, if the breastfeeding continues, every two months until the first year of their children´s life. At the first month postpartum, investigators will visit participants at home, both the control group and the intervention group, for collecting information on breastfeeding practices, for taking a breast milk sample to estimate its fatty acids content, and a blood sample (serum) to obtain the C-Reactive Protein. Also, the investigators will take anthropometric measurements of the children to evaluate their growth (weight, length, and skinfold thickness). Investigators will ask for breastfeeding practices and diet of the participants through a 24 hours recall. The results of this intervention group will be compared with the control group: pregnant obese women without educational intervention or telephonic follow-up.
Alive & Thrive (A&T) is a multi-year initiative to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. During Phase 1 (A&T-1, 2009-2014), funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, A&T aimed to reduce undernutrition and death caused by suboptimal IYCF practices in three countries - Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Viet Nam. In 2014, IFPRI in collaboration with DATA conducted the endline survey in Bangladesh. The overall findings of the evaluation indicate that A&T's work in Bangladesh is a remarkable success story of scaling up what has been challenging to date in the field of nutrition: complex, high intensity and at-scale behavior change communications interventions. In 2016, a follow up study will be conducted to determine the sustained impacts on IYCF practices, expansion of operations and promoted practices into new areas, and diffusion of IYCF information, two years after the termination of external project support.
Few studies have investigated breastfeeding in twins, and none have addressed the effect of antenatal counseling on breastfeeding twins.The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of antenatal breastfeeding counseling on the breastfeeding rates in twin pregnancies.
This study is an observational study to determine outcomes of surgical release of tongue-tie and lip-tie in babies who are experiencing difficulty with breastfeeding.
Background: Premature infants and their patents are discharged earlier from hospital and sent home in early in-homecare programs. Research regarding the use of health IT is needed to say, whether the use of videoconference and Smartphone application is a viable option to address the parents need for support in relations to early discharge. Aim: Test and explore early in-homecare (PreHomeCare) with videoconference and mobile application versus hospital consultations. Method: Main study; a randomized controlled intervention study with the hypothesis; parent of premature infants who have access to electronic knowledge and participatory guidance 24-7: increases proportion of exclusive breastfeeding, Improves parent/infant interaction, enhances confidence and increases knowledge. Sub study 1; a field study. Sub study 2; an interview study. Perspectives: It is expected that this project will be an argument in development of care for premature infants and telemedicine use in the future
The primary aim is to establish whether breastfeeding is associated with lowering blood pressure in hypertensive women.
