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.
Aim: This study was randomized to determine the effect of biological nurturing education given to nulliparous pregnant women on breastfeeding status. Method: The population of the study consisted of pregnant women who are visiting Istanbul Training and Research Hospital Suleymaniye Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital between October 2022 and August 2023. F test at 90% effect power 0.25 medium effect level on the sample of the study analyzed using the Gpower (3.1.9.2) Programe. As a result of the analyze, it was planned to recruit 207 nulliparous pregnant women. According to the calculation made, there should be at least 69 people in each groups. Accordingly, 69 people in the experimental 1 group (biological nurturing), 69 people in the experimental 2 group (classical breastfeeding), 69 people should be included in the control group. Experimental 1 group and experimental 2 group will be given breastfeeding training on their first visit and after two weeks. Breastfeeding success in the postpartum period will be compared in all groups.
Breast milk is the main source of nutrition for newborns. Although breastfeeding is seen as a necessary process to meet the nutritional needs of babies in the early stages of life, it has a key role for a healthy generation in the long run. In this respect, the article has a unique value for a sustainable future in terms of its effects on the mother and baby in particular and on the social level in general. The study was planned as a randomized controlled longitudinal study. The research is planned to be carried out between September 2022 and January 2023 in Çukurova University Medical Faculty Balcalı Training and Research Hospital pregnant outpatient clinic. The sample of the study will consist of 104 pregnant women, 52 of whom are in the experimental group and 52 in the control group, determined by power analysis. A training module will be created by taking expert opinions. The training module will consist of 5 sessions. Each session will last 1 hour, with 45 minutes of interactive lecture and 15 minutes of question and answer. Module sessions will have a dynamic structure that takes into account the needs of mother and baby during pregnancy and postpartum period. At 34-38 weeks of pregnancy, the first interviews are face-to-face at the hospital, the second interview is postpartum 1-5. day depending on the conditions, face-to-face or online, subsequent meetings will be held online.
