Filter by:The goal of this [type of study: clinical trial] is to compare compare the nutrition, development, obesity risk and anemia risk of the infant with the BLW method and TCF method given to the mothers of infants who have switched to complementary feeding. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does the training on the GTB and BLW method given in accordance with the developmental age of the baby in months have an effect on the feeding and development of the babies in both groups? - Does the training on the GTB and BLW method given in accordance with the developmental age of the baby in months have an effect on the obesity risk and anemia risk of babies in both groups? Participants will participate in each session of the complementary nutrition trainings given in accordance with their age on a monthly basis and will provide a diet suitable for the trainings. Researchers will compare the nutritional parameters, developmental levels, and height and weight gains of infants fed with the BLW and TCF method to see the effect of complementary feeding education on the nutrition and development of infants and whether there is anemia and obesity risk.
In this clinical trial, weight gain (primary objective), and additional anthropometry (secondary objectives), of infants exclusively consuming a hydrolysed protein-based infant formula were evaluated and compared to a standard intact protein-based formula over a period of at least three months, until the age of 17 weeks.

Touch is an essential element in the healthy growth and development of the baby. Infant massage is the best way to touch babies. In line with the literature review on the subject, it has been reported that infant massage supports growth and development in infants, improves attachment between mothers and babies and decreases the level of depression and anxiety in mothers. With the coronavirus pandemic, quarantine decisions have been implemented all over the world. In addition to the stress brought on by their new roles, new mothers have to cope with the anxiety and stress of being a parent and babysitting during the pandemic period. During the pandemic process, it is seen that depression and anxiety levels increase in mothers who have given birth, and maternal attachment is negatively affected. Depression and anxiety in mothers negatively affect the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of babies. It is very important to encourage practices that increase mother-infant interaction, such as infant massage, during the pandemic period. The universe of the research will consist of mothers and their babies who were followed up in İzmir Karşıyaka No. 8 Gülay Kaymak Family Health Center and Karşıyaka No. 4 Bostanlı-2 Family Health Center between May 2021 and May 2022. The sample of the study is 38-42. It is planned to create babies born in the 4th week of pregnancy, with a birth weight of over 2500 grams and who have completed their fourth week (one month old) (n:60).
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) represent the third largest solid component of breast milk. Technology advancements made it possible to supplement infant formulas with HMOs (2'FL, LNnT). Two published RCTs have demonstrated that infant formulas supplemented with 2'FL or 2'FL+LNnT are safe, well-tolerated, support normal grow, and may support healthy GI function and confer immune benefits. The performance of HMOs-supplemented formulas assessed in a real-world setting is complementary to previously conducted RCTs conducted in highly controlled clinical settings. Main objectives will be to monitor the safety & tolerance of HMOs-supplemented formulas in larger and diverse infant populations; to assess the performance of HMOs-supplemented formulas in mixed-fed infants, a population that was not studied in previous RCTs but likely represents a relatively common feeding regimen. Finally, considering the potential health/immune benefits of HMOs, it is also important explore the incidences of illnesses (i.e., respiratory illnesses, GI illnesses, and fever) associated with consuming HMOs-supplemented formulas and compare with breastfed infants data.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the growth and tolerance of infants who consume either an infant formula with intact proteins or an infant formula with partially hydrolyzed proteins through approximately 12 months of age.
This open-label clinical trial will gain evidence of the effect of an oral Nutritional Supplement (NS) to help improve catch-up growth and support learning skills in children with growth concerns.
A multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, controlled, prospective, non-inferiority intervention clinical trial is performed to assess the safety and suitability of an infant formula manufactured from extensively hydrolysed protein by showing normal growth of healthy term infants during the first 120 days of life with an optional follow up until 180 days of life.
The present study was prospective uncontrolled, single-armed and un-blinded study. Held in the Pediatric neurology clinic, Children's hospital l, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University from June 2016 to June 2018 of 24 months timeframe. All cerebral palsy (CP) patients following up in Pediatric neurology clinic aged between 2 and 12 years. Melatonin given for 3 months. Anthropmetric measures, gastroeintestinal symptoms, Children's sleep habits questionnaire (CSHQ) Arabic version, polysomnography, Chalfont epilepsy severity score, and EEG were done at enrollment and after the 3-months.
Exposure to vitamin D intervention in early life may have permanent effects on physiology and metabolism. Bone growth and mineralization, development of immunity, body composition and brain structure and functioning may be affected. The importance of a long-term surveillance includes follow-up of both beneficial but also harmful effects of vitamin D. Vitamin D intervention in infants (VIDI) study was conducted in 2013-2016. VIDI study was a large randomized trial that aimed to evaluate effects of two vitamin D supplemental doses of daily 10 ug and 30 ug from the age 2 weeks until 2 years on bone strength, infections, immunity, allergy, atopy and asthma, neurologic and cognitive development, and genetic regulation of mineral homeostasis. Current study is a 6 Years Follow-up (VIDI2) study of the original VIDI trial. Our focuses of interest in the follow-up are: bone strength, growth pattern, body composition, and morbidity due to infections and allergic diseases, and the development of immunity. Further, in addition to more classical associates of vitamin D, our aim is to continue to follow-up children's neurocognitive development and mental health. We will also focus on the effect of vitamin D supplementation on occurrence of molar-incisor hypomineralization, dental caries, and oral immunity.
