Association of Malnutrition With Weaning Practices Among Infants in Pakistan

Abstract: BackgroundAn appropriate diet is critical for the growth and development of infants, especially in the first two years of life. Despite considerable efforts made by government and local authorities to raise awareness, mothers still lack basic knowledge of weaning practices; as a result, infants face a growing number of health problems in their later years of life. This research aims to investigate the association between malnutrition and knowledge of different weaning practices among mothers and to study the f… Show more

“…Knowledge accumulated from a variety of studies provides evidence of the benefits of healthy CF strategies in infancy for the promotion of balanced, lifelong dietary habits [ 32 ], with avoidance of obesity [ 33 ] and malnutrition [ 34 ], and a reduction in food allergies (FAs) [ 35 , 36 ]. In several countries, including Greece, practicing pediatricians play an important role in choosing the most suitable CF approach for guiding parents in the introduction of new foods into their infants’ diets [ 25 ].…”

“…As a result, it is possible to reveal the Me-13 as having an a-orientation. A stereoisomer of 2 has been previously isolated from A. illicola 43 with the trivial name of sericin methyl ester A. The stereochemistry of sericin methyl ester A was determined by X-ray with C-11 being pro-S. By 13 C NMR comparisons, C-11 of 2 was assigned to an R-conguration with a shi changes of +4.0 ppm along with a change in multiplicity from doublet quartet to be quartet.…”

“…Malnutrition continues to be a significant public health issue in less developed areas 24 , as it is linked to higher rates of morbidity and mortality that are typically linked to a greater incidence of both microbial and parasite-related diseases in these areas 25 . Children frequently experience malnutrition throughout their period of fast development, which can have long-term effects on their health and immune response 26 . Infants’ development and growth, especially during the first 2 years of life, depend on a balanced diet.…”

“…In developing countries, mothers rely on other milk types like cow, buffalo, goat or camel milk for nutrition of their babies. Early weaning has a direct impact on the infant health in the developing world due to issues like a lack of suitable substitutes for breast milk and the replacement of breast milk with less nourishing alternatives 26 . In these circumstances, mothers begin to provide the baby with other formula or type of milk.…”
