There is an increasing focus on the need to optimise nutrition, lifestyle and metabolism of parents before and during pregnancy and of the infant after birth, but as yet there is limited understanding of the specific influences and of the underlying mechanisms. This study is a follow up of children from the NiPPeR trial of a nutritional drink enriched with micronutrients, myo-inositol and probiotics taken preconception and during pregnancy. In this setting we will examine the influence of parental nutrition, lifestyle and metabolism before and during pregnancy on child growth, development and well-being; ascertaining growth, adiposity, metabolism, neurobehavioural and health outcomes in the children, and characterising the underlying mechanisms. The data collected will allow identification of the contributions of parental and offspring characteristics, nutritional, lifestyle and medical factors, social and economic status, ethnicity, genetics, metabolism and microbes to promoting healthy growth, body composition and wellbeing in the children.
This is a randomized placebo-controlled study that aims to investigate the effect of a new maternal dietary supplement (protein hydrolysate/yeast beta-glucan combination) on mother and infant health.
The benefits of breastfeeding no longer need to be proven. Many studies have shown its positives effects on both infants and mothers. Exclusive breastfeeding is thus recommended within the first six months of life. Excessive screen use has been shown to be harmful in many aspects of daily life. The impact upon the relation between mother and newborn infant is poorly studied. The study aims to evaluate the impact of the use of smartphones on the success and duration of breastfeeding.
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of octani massage on breastfeeding success and breast engorgement in mothers who gave birth by cesarean section. The research was carried out in the gynecology service of Ağrı Training and Research Hospital between November 2022 and April 2023. The universe of the study consisted of mothers who were hospitalized in the gynecology service of Ağrı Training and Research Hospital between November 2022 and April 2023 and gave birth by cesarean section. The Open Epi calculation tool was used to determine the sample of the study. The sample calculation was made on the average score differences in the Open Epi info program. Accordingly, it was planned to include 106 mothers, 53 of whom were in the control group and 53 in the massage group. Considering the sample loss to be experienced during data collection, a total of 116 mothers, 58 in the control group and 58 in the massage group, were included in the study. Randomization of the groups participating in the study was made as simple randomization using the www.random.org site. Introductory Characteristics Questionnaire, oketany massage follow-up form, breast engorgement assessment scale and LATCH breastfeeding diagnostic measurement tool were used to collect the research data.
Breast-feeding; It is the basic step of newborn, maternal and community health. Breastfeeding counseling, which is planned to encourage, initiate and continue breastfeeding in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization, is extremely important in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Breastfeeding counseling with mixed reality technology will contribute to the literature. The research will be carried out between January 2023 and December 2024 in the hospitals in Mersin with a delivery room. The universe will consist of all pregnant women who come to the obstetrics clinics of the specified hospitals for follow-up purposes. G Power 3.1 program was used for sampling. By using the G Power 3.1 program in the sample calculation (30); According to the Cohen Guidelines (Cohen's d); effect size was 0.5, power was 0.80, and significance level was 0.05. It was calculated as 102 people, with at least 51 people in the intervention group and at least 51 people in the control group. The sample number was determined as 112 pregnant women to receive 10% (5 each) for the intervention and control groups in case the participants dropped out of the study. In the study, "Block Randomization" method, which is one of the fixed probability randomization methods, will be used in order to ensure homogeneity between the groups and to eliminate selection bias. In the intervention group; Introductory Information Form, Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale will be applied as a pre-test to pregnant women in their 3rd trimester and breastfeeding counseling based on mixed reality technology will be given. The LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Evaluation Scale and Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale will be filled in within 24 hours and on the 7th day after giving birth. The same steps will be performed for the pregnant women in the control group, and unlike the intervention group, counseling will be applied with Power Point technique instead of mixed reality technology. Statistical analyzes will be made using a package program called SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics 24). In descriptive statistical analysis, mean, standard deviation, median, frequency, percentile, minimum and maximum values will be calculated. Descriptive, parametric and nonparametric statistical analysis methods will be used in the analysis of the data. Various studies have been conducted in Turkey using different methods on breastfeeding counseling, but no study has been found in which breastfeeding counseling was provided with mixed reality technology. Therefore, a randomized controlled experimental type study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of mixed reality technology-based breastfeeding counseling on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy of women.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of iodine-containing multiple micronutrient supplements provided to breastfeeding mothers who live in settings with mild iodine deficiency. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the effects of iodine-containing multiple micronutrient supplements provided to breastfeeding mothers on infant development, as measured by electroencephalography/visual evoked potentials? 2. What are the effects of iodine-containing multiple micronutrient supplements on breast milk concentrations of iodine, and infant iodine and thyroid status? 3. How do iodine and iron interact with each other to affect thyroid function in the mother during pregnancy and lactation? Participants will be randomized to receive a daily multiple micronutrient tablet containing iodine (UNIMAPP) for 6 months postpartum, or routine care (iron-folic acid for 1 month postpartum). Mothers will provide a breast milk sample and drop of blood at 3 and 6 months postpartum. Infants will provide a urine sample and drop of blood, and have a neurodevelopmental assessment at 3 and 6 months. Researchers will compare the groups that received the iodine-containing micronutrient supplement with the group that received routine care (IFA) and see if there were any benefits on infant development and iodine and thyroid status in the mother and baby.
Breastfeeding is beneficial for the physical and mental health of mothers and infants alike. Most new mothers in Denmark intend to breastfeed, however, a substantial proportion do not succeed to breastfeed as intended. In Region Zealand, few women breastfeed than in the rest of Denmark in which may be related to a higher proportion of women being overweight, having socio-economic constraints and a low educational level, all associated with breastfeeding difficulties. There is limited knowledge on how to deliver a tailored support aimed at families at high risk of breastfeeding difficulties in a high-income country. We plan to conduct a study aiming to strengthen breastfeeding support to families at risk of breastfeeding difficulties, delivering at Slagelse Hospital, across healthcare sectors, including obstetric and neonatal departments, primary care and civil society. The study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate a supportive breastfeeding intervention with specific focus on families at high risk of complicated breastfeeding and early breastfeeding cessation - a prospective cohort study in Region Zealand, Denmark. Potentially, results can help reducing inequality in health thus more families achieve exclusive breastfeeding and gain health benefits from breastfeeding
Exclusive breastfeeding is global recognized as the optimal infant feeding. Hong Kong is committed to promoting, protecting and supporting the global movement for successful breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding is especially strongly recommended and supported to the maternal history of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). This study aims to examine the acceptability and feasibility of Antenatal human milk expression (AME) as breastfeeding intervention to improve breastfeeding for GDM women. The efficacy of AME practice on the breastfeeding exclusivity will also be investigated. It is hypothesized that AME will increase breastfeeding exclusivity compare with women receiving standard care, and will improve the breastfeeding self-efficacy and reduce depressive symptoms of women after birth.
The objective of this randomized, single-blind clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two treatments (Myofunctional Therapy and breastfeeding sessions) in infants who have difficulty breastfeeding during the first week of life. The main questions to be answered are: - Is breastfeeding improved with this type of intervention? - What type of intervention is better? - After carrying out these interventions, does the baby need to undergo surgery if it presents a sublingual frenulum? Participants must be infants who are one week old and who have been diagnosed with ankyloglossia through the Hazelbaker Scale. They will be randomly distributed into the two intervention groups and after one month of treatment, they will be assessed again using the same scale. The researchers will compare the results between these two groups in order to verify the best intervention.
