The Impact

The impact of variations in current infant feeding practice on bone mineral accrual is not known. We examined the associations between duration of breast-feeding and compliance with infant dietary guidelines and later bone size and density at age 4 years. At total of 599 (318 boys) mother–child pairs were recruited from the Southampton Women's Survey. Duration of breast-feeding was recorded and infant diet was assessed at 6 and 12 months using FFQ. At 6 and 12 months the most important dietary pattern, defined by principal component analysis, was characterised by high consumption of vegetables, fruits and home-prepared foods. As this was consistent with infant feeding recommendations, it was denoted the ‘infant guidelines’ pattern. At age 4 years, children underwent assessment of whole-body bone size and density using a Hologic Discovery dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry instrument. Correlation methods were used to explore the relationships between infant dietary variables and bone mineral. There was no association between duration of breast-feeding in the first year of life and 4-year bone size or density. ‘Infant guidelines’ pattern scores at 6 and 12 months were also unrelated to bone mass at age 4 years. We observed wide variations in current infant feeding practice, but these variations were not associated with differences in childhood bone mass at age 4 years.

Knowledge Attitude And Practice

INTRODUCTION: The infant feeding practice differs among the different cultures across the globe. Therefore, many movements have been initiated in recent years to optimize feeding practices. One of the crucial parts is protecting, promoting and supporting breast milk for newborn babies. But, unfortunately, there are many discrepancies between what has been recommended and what is being practised in reality. Various factors, including beliefs, social, cultural, and economic factors, inuence the feeding practices in rural India. '' (1) This current research highlights the knowledge attitude and practice of the mothers regarding infant feeding practice. OBJECTIVES:To assess the different sociodemographic factors affecting feeding practices. To nd the knowledge, attitude and practice of infant feeding among mothers of north Kerala. RESULTS:The knowledge regarding feeding practices among Kerala mothers is high, owing to the mother's educational status. (2) CONCLUSION: The results obtained from the current research help formulate specic interventional programs in the future.
