“…Kim and Peterson (2008) also showed that infants in daycare gained more weight during the first 9 months compared to those in parental care. These findings may be explained by the lower rate of breast feeding and higher rate of early solid food introduction in infants in daycare.…”

“…Therefore, the rate of weight gain during early stages of infancy is considered a key predictor of future health conditions. Rapid weight gain in infancy is thought to be associated with maternal lifestyle and environmental factors (Ong et al 2000(Ong et al , 2002Kim and Peterson 2008). Presumably, controlling these factors should reduce the risk of adult chronic diseases.…”

“…For breast-feeding at 12 months of age, we observed a significant negative association with nonparental day care and observed that infants who had non-parental care had lower odds of being breast-fed at this age. A recent study from the USA (24) , using a national representative sample of 8150 infants, reported that infants who attended day care before 3 months of age were less likely to ever have been breast-fed than those in parental care. In another national sample of 2500 mothers in the USA, Hendricks et al (25) observed that being in day care was associated with decreased duration of breastfeeding at ages 6 and 12 months.…”

Objective: To identify factors associated with exclusive breast-feeding and breastfeeding during the first year of life among Norwegian infants. Design: Data on breast-feeding practices were collected by a semi-quantitative FFQ. Setting: In 2006-2007 about 3000 infants were invited to participate in a populationbased prospective cohort study in Norway. Subjects: A total of 1490 mothers/infants participated at both 6 and 12 months of age. Results: Exclusive breast-feeding at 4 months was associated with parental education, parity and geographical region, while exclusive breast-feeding at 5?5 months was associated only with maternal age. At both ages, a negative association with exclusive breast-feeding was observed for maternal smoking. Breast-feeding at 6 months was associated with parental education, maternal age and marital status. Breast-feeding at 12 months was associated with maternal education, maternal age and number of children. At both ages, negative associations with breast-feeding were observed for maternal smoking and descending birth weight. At 12 months, a negative association was also observed for having day care by other than the parents. Conclusions: Even though Norway has an extensive and positive breast-feeding tradition and a maternal leave system that supports the possibility to breast-feed, factors like maternal education, maternal age and maternal smoking are strongly associated with duration of exclusive breast-feeding and breast-feeding. Research to better understand the reasons for inequalities in breast-feeding is needed to facilitate the development of more effective breast-feeding promotion strategies. This again may improve compliance with recommendations and reduce inequalities in infant feeding practices.Keywords Exclusive breast-feeding Breast-feeding Infant feeding practices Adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood is essential to ensure growth, health and development of children to reach their full potential. Breast milk strongly contributes to good health and nutrition of infants. Apart from being an excellent nutritional source for the growing child, breast milk is associated with a reduced risk of many diseases in infants and mothers. A recent review by Duijts et al. (1) points out that a number of studies in industrialised countries suggest that breast-feeding protects infants against overall infections, gastrointestinal and respiratory tract infections. Moreover, Ip et al. (2) reported long-term benefits of breast-feeding for infants to be reduced risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in later life, and long-term benefits for breast-feeding mothers to be reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancers.The initiation and duration of exclusive breast-feeding and breast-feeding are influenced by a number of factors. Although the factors that influence the initiation and duration of breast-feeding in developed countries have been broadly studied (3)(4)(5) , previous studies in these countries have rarely examined the factors associated with exclusive breast-feedi...

“…human _ ontogenetic s Introduction of a "Baby-Year", however, might not only affect the birth/death ratio. It is also likely to increase, e.g., the chance that a baby is breastfed, as a lower percentage of employed mothers start breastfeeding and the duration of breastfeeding is reduced among working mothers (Taveras et al 2003, Kim et al 2008. Besides a number of well-known short-term effects for mothers and infants, breastfeeding has benefi cial effects even for long-term health.…”

Maternal deprivation and overnutrition in early postnatal life and their primary prevention: Historical reminiscence of an “ecologic experiment” in Germany

During critical developmental periods in early life, altered environmental conditions can lead to pre-and early postnatally acquired, life-long malfunctions and subsequent diseases (Perinatal Programming). Avoiding unfavourable conditions during early development may thus open possibilities of primary prevention.At the beginning of the 21 st century, demographic aging and increasing overweight prevalences are two major problems nearly world-wide. Interestingly, during the second half of the last century, an outstanding "ecologic experiment" has taken place in central Europe, where Germany was divided for four decades into two parts with differing political, economic, social and medical systems, and different approaches towards prevention, especially in early life. Two examples of preventive measures introduced and realized in East Germany and East Berlin until the German reunifi cation were intense breastfeeding promotion and the so-called "Baby-Year", which meant that a mother could stay at home receiving her full salaries for one year after giving birth. Possible outcomes of these measures of primary prevention with effect on demographic aging and overweight risk in the people will be outlined in this essay.
