Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of nipple flow rate on swallowing function in infants less than 3 months corrected age (up to 11 weeks and 6 days) who have been referred for videofluoroscopic swallow study.
The objective of the proposed research is to conduct a within-subject experimental study that will assess the effect of feeding mode (breast- versus bottle-feeding) on the quality and outcome of infant feeding interactions.
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare parent and infant outcomes and unit outcomes pre and post a planned unit-wide intervention aimed at increasing parent presence in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The FCC intervention will consist of communicating an expectation that all NICU parents be present at minimum 4 hours/day versus the current practice of telling families to "come as much as they can" that has resulted in inconsistent parent presence.
The objective this research is to conduct a within-subject, experimental study that will describe mothers' feeding practices during typical bottle-feeding conditions and will examine whether removal of visual cues related to the amount of milk/formula in the bottle will alter these feeding practices. The investigators hypothesize that mothers will show higher levels of infant-directed feeding practices and lower levels of mother-directed feeding practices when using opaque, weighted bottles compared to when using standard, clear bottles. The investigators also hypothesize that infants will consume less breast milk or formula when fed from opaque, weighted bottles compared to when fed from standard, clear bottles.
In the present study, we tested a novel approach to understanding infant bottle-feeding interactions: experimentally manipulating bottle-feeding conditions to better understand maternal and infant influences on overfeeding, as well as individual differences in risk for overfeeding. Specifically, we observed mother-infant dyads during a typical, "mother-led" feeding, during which mothers were given no instruction regarding how or how much to feed their infants (hereafter referred to as a "typical feeding" [TF]), as well as during an "infant-led" (IL) feeding, wherein we minimized the mothers' influence on the feeding and ensured the feed was in response to the infants' hunger and fullness cues. Using this within-subject, objective, and experimental approach, the present study aimed to: 1) directly measure the extent to which overfeeding occurs during bottle-feeding and 2) describe the characteristics of infants and mothers that overfeed during bottle-feeding.
- The primary objective of the study was to compare stool composition (stool soap and non-soap fatty acids, total fatty acids, minerals, and other stool constituents) of infants randomized to receive either standard formula, or 1 of 2 innovative formulas containing a new fat blend or the new fat blend plus fiber. - The secondary objectives were to evaluate among the feeding groups, stool characteristics (stool consistency and frequency), GI tolerance assessed by the Infant Gastrointestinal Symptom Questionnaire (IGSQ), and urinary markers (F2-isoprostanes and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine [8-OHdG], and urine osmolality and specific gravity). - The primary safety objective was to describe the frequency of adverse events (AEs) among the formula-fed (FF) groups. - The secondary safety objective was to describe anthropometric measures (weight, length, and head circumference) among the feeding groups.
The primary objective of the study was to compare the growth parameters of children approximately 2* years of age, who as infants were randomized to receive either a lower-protein formula ("experimental formula"; EF) with 12.8 g/L protein or a standard formula (SF) with 14.1 g/L protein or who were human milk (HM) fed for the first 4 months of life. The secondary objective was to describe diet and nutrient intake in this cohort of children. The exploratory objectives were to describe stool microbiota in a subset of this cohort and stool composition (stool soap and nonsoap fatty acids, total fatty acids, and minerals) in a second subset of this cohort. (* The mean age of subjects was 33.0 months due to a delay in the study start-up.)
This is an observational, non-randomised trial to evaluate the effect of dietary type on infants oral candida colonization the investigators evaluated 90 infants in 1-24 months (45 breastfeeding and 45 bottle feeding infants) who attended to Yazd clinic for regular pediatric appointment. Infants with unremarkable health histories, normal weight, free of sign or symptom of oral candidiasis or other mucosal disease. Their mothers were also healthy and without sign or symptom of vagina or mammary candidiasis. Pacifier usage, use of antibiotics in last months, sign or symptom of oral candidiasis in infants or vagina and mammary candidiasis in mothers were exclusion criteria.
