Filter by:The World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund recommend that every baby be fed with breast milk alone from birth to 6 months, then with additional foods; recommends continuation of breastfeeding until at least 2 years of age. It has been reported that with the spread of breastfeeding, 823,000 child and 20,000 maternal deaths can be prevented and 300 billion dollars of economic savings can be made every year in the world. The COVID 19 pandemic, which has been affecting the whole world for the last two years, has led to changes in the field of consultancy as well as in all areas. Counseling has created a tendency to be given online due to the rapid spread of the virus, the fact that it is deadly, and the increased risk in closed areas. There has been a great deal of interest in the subject of breastfeeding behavior in the literature, but it has been observed that there is not enough research on breastfeeding counseling given online. In this study, breastfeeding behavior of mothers in the first six months and the duration of starting solid food will be investigated.
The goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a culturally-tailored mobile interactive education and support group intervention to supplement standard postpartum care activities in comparison to standard care alone on health-related behaviors and health outcomes in a randomized controlled trial among 2100 postpartum Indian women living in 3 geographically diverse Indian states to estimate the impact on maternal and neonatal health-related knowledge, health-related behaviors, and health outcomes. The investigators also seek to characterize mechanisms of impact including knowledge, social support, self-efficacy, and behavior change, and determine the cost-effectiveness.
Despite recommendations by several health authorities, the rate of sustained exclusive breastfeeding for two months is less than fifty-five percent in Canada. The two most common reasons for early discontinuation are problems with milk supply and difficulty with technique. Antenatal hand expression (AHE) is a method used to assist with colostrum collection in low-risk pregnancies near term. This method has been shown to have several benefits, including increased milk supply at birth. This study aims to determine if the employment of antenatal hand expression in low-risk pregnancies near term affects the rate of sustained breastfeeding exclusively to two months.
Paternal involvement in breastfeeding has been identified as a significant predictor in maternal breastfeeding outcomes. The main aim of this study is to examine the relationship between reported paternal breastfeeding support and paternal-infant attachment with exclusive breastfeeding and total breastfeeding duration. The hypothesis is that paternal involvement in breastfeeding increase exclusive breastfeeding rates, total breastfeeding duration and strengthen paternal-infant attachment.
Breast milk is a unique, natural and universal food with excellent content that ensures healthy growth and development of the baby. Since twin babies are mostly born prematurely, with low birth weight and with health problems affecting important systems such as respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, breastfeeding becomes more important. Studies show that mothers with twin babies can produce sufficient quantity and quality of milk. However, the breastfeeding rates of twin babies are not at the desired level. In the successful breastfeeding of twin babies, breastfeeding education started before birth has an important place in initiating and maintaining successful breastfeeding. Today, it is recommended to use different materials and techniques in order to ensure continuity in the training given to healthy and sick individuals. One of them is QR code supported training. Using different training and method techniques will make it easier for nurses to be more effective. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of QR code supported online breastfeeding education given to pregnant women expecting twins on breastfeeding intention and feeding with breast milk in the first six months. Research Hypotheses: H0: There is no difference between breastfeeding intention and success of mothers who have twin babies who are given online breastfeeding training and those who are not. H1: The breastfeeding intention and success of mothers with twin babies who are given online breastfeeding training with QR code is higher than mothers who are given online breastfeeding training only. H1: The breastfeeding intention and success of mothers with twin babies who are given online breastfeeding training with QR code is higher than mothers who are not given breastfeeding training.
Effective early life programs that reduce the long-term non-communicable diseases (NCDs) risk could bring great economic benefits to the society. However, there is a lack of local data on the effect of nutrition on child growth and most research on early life intervention focus on disease models such as obese women to improve offspring health outcomes. There is limited research on postpartum interventions in the community that optimize maternal and infant nutrition through improving success of breastfeeding, infant growth diet quality and microbiota to enhance health in the adulthood. In this study, it is hypothesized that our early nutrition program could promote breastfeeding successful rate (increase the number of months the mothers breastfed their infants) and improve growth status, diet quality and microbiota of the infants which may reduce the risk of NCDs in the adulthood. The planned project proposal would like to include 240 pairs of mothers and infants. In order to test the protocol in the planned proposal, the investigators hope to run a pilot study to set up this community based early nutrition program including breastfeeding workshops and supports, healthy lifestyle courses, parenting education, introduction of solid foods for infants, child development and cooking classes of infant foods. the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of this early nutrition program and determine its impacts on breastfeeding, infant growth (by comparing infants' biomarkers and microbiota in different stages) , diet quality and microbiota, as well as the benefits to the postpartum mothers such as reducing the postpartum weight retention so that to generate pilot result and facilitate the up scale study that the investigators proposed in the planned proposal. The ultimate goal is that a long term follow up with the children in this project could also be arranged to determine the long term health effects of this early nutrition program.
Leboride is a dental support device that was developed for reducing pain during active labor. It is made of an inert material, placed in the woman's mouth and does not disturb breathing, talking, or any other activity expected during labor. It is a single-use device, each user receives a new one. This study hypothesis is that the Leboride use can reduce pain during breastfeeding, by that improve women's breastfeeding experience, and increase breastfeeding rates.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a commercially available product containing a combination of Silybum marianum and Galega officinalis to support continuation or augmentation of breast milk production.
The aim of this study is to verify whether dietary manipulations in lactating women allow increasing the fat and caloric content of human milk.
