Filter by:Thirteen hospitals in China will participate in the study, which objectives of this study is to improve the rate of mother's own milk feeding of premature infants in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU), evaluate the effectiveness of improving the quality of breastfeeding in clinical use ,form standardized process and improve clinical medical quality of premature infants.
This is an interventional, prospective, randomized, comparative, two-period cross over study to evaluate the performance of Annabella breast pump against a control breast pump.
This study; this work; The aim is to investigate the effects of mothers' nutritional status on breast milk macro nutrients (carbohydrate, fat and protein).
This study will give an update on the breastfeeding prevalence and infant nutrition in Austria. Key aspects for this study are: 1. the current breastfeeding rates 2. further insights on factors influencing breastfeeding such as the information mothers have about breastfeeding, their attitude, support they received for breastfeeding problems as well as sociodemographic factors and 3. complimentary feeding. All postpartum women in Austria were eligible for participation. It consists of representative and prospective data recordings of breastfeeding and infant nutrition for the participating mother-child pairs via online questionnaires at four times of measurement over a period of one year. The results of the present study will give us an update about the development of breastfeeding rates in Austria and a better understanding of entry points for interventions on child nutrition and child health.
The study will be a mixed methods, two-arm, cluster-randomized controlled trial. The primary aim of this evaluation is to measure the effectiveness of the Community-Based Nutrition Package intervention on child feeding practices among parents/caregivers to children 6 to 23 months of age in Afghanistan.
Untreated postpartum pain has been associated with increased risk of opioid use, postpartum depression and development of persistent pain. In this study the investigators will investigate whether a scheduled administration of analgesics is superior to administration of analgesics based on patient request following a vaginal delivery.
Human Milk Fortifier (HMF) is designed to supply additional calories, protein, vitamins and minerals to infants less than 37 weeks gestation or those less than 1500 g at birth. Liquid and powder types of HMF are available in the commercial market. Usually, one packet of powdered HMF is mixed to 25-50 cc expressed breast milk. Fortification of human milk is technically difficult in fully breastfed infants and artificial teats such as bottle feedings are common used. A study reported lower breastfeeding rate in intervention group who used HMF in comparison with control. Finger feeding method is associated with a better breastfeeding rate in hospital use. A feasibility study in Vienna reports finger feeding method as a way to provide fortification at home was acceptable.We hypothesize that finger feeding is an easy way for HMF supplementation after discharge to increase successful breastfeeding and improve growth in preterm and or low birth weight infants.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of domperidone is associated with an increased risk of serious cardiac events among postpartum women in the six months following delivery. The hypothesis is that the use of domperidone will be associated with an increased risk of serious cardiac events among postpartum women. The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using health care databases in five Canadian provinces. Women with live births will be eligible to enter the cohort. We will identify all women who start domperidone during the six months following delivery and match them to similar women who do not start domperidone, with all included women followed until the occurrence of an adverse cardiac event or for up to six months after delivery. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of serious cardiac events in users of domperidone.
Research Aim: We assessed human milk intakes of Thai infants during the first 6 months comparing exclusive (EBF), predominant (PBF) and partial (PartBF) breastfeeding. Methods: One-hundred and ten apparently healthy Thai lactating mother-infant pairs were followed from birth. Human milk intakes were determined at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months, using the DTM method. Daily energy and protein intakes were assessed using 3-day non-consecutive 24-hour recalls. Socio-demographic characteristics were collected using a questionnaire. For comparisons among breastfeeding practices, one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test was used for normally distributed data, or Kruskal-Wallis Test with Mann-Whitney U Test for not normally distributed data.
The study will follow a prospective cohort of racially and economically diverse mothers of premature infants for 3 weeks following delivery to test whether antenatal education of the support person of mothers may decrease time to initiation of breast pumping, decrease time to lactogenesis stage II and increase breast milk production.
