Mothers’ higher education was associated with better IYCF practices. Formula assistance was associated with higher bottle feeding and lower EBF. Abstract Infant and young child […]

Abstract This study aimed to define complementary feeding trends in Guinea from 2005 to 2018 and complementary feeding risk factors at the individual, household, and community levels.

This cross-sectional study examined feeding practices among Australian parents facing financial hardship. Over 75% were food insecure. While the meal environment supported responsive feeding, increasing household chaos and food insecurity led to fewer structured mealtimes and household chaos increased coercive practices such as using (non)-food rewards and food to calm. ABSTRACT Responsive feeding practices are

Maternal height, birth weight and socioeconomic factors were the most important predictors of stunting in this sample. Being on track for vitamin A and deworming, adequate sanitation, a diverse diet and good maternal mental health had a stronger association with height-for-age in children with lower birth weights or shorter mothers. ABSTRACT A large body of

The net effect of the male partner-targeted education and support intervention on improving optimal breastfeeding practice was 17.5% [95% CI: 13.8%–21.2%]. Breastfeeding education and support interventions targeting male partners in low-resource settings improve optimal breastfeeding practices. ABSTRACT A male partner or husband is the most influential person in the family, especially in Ethiopia. The role
