“…This is possible because multigravida women's had an experience on how to sleep their infant as compared to primipara. 16 In this study having good knowledge of sleeping position were significantly associated with the practicing safe sleeping position. This study was supported by previous studies and the AAP recommendations.…”

Background One of the important interventions in the infantile period is the selection of appropriate infant sleeping position. Unsafe infant sleep position is associated with sudden unexpected death in infancy. Yet, little is known about the practice of infant sleep position in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the practice of infant sleep position among mothers attending mother and child health service in Jimma town public health institutions, South West Ethiopia, 2022. Methods An institutional based cross-sectional study design was conducted on 409 women attending Maternal and child health service in Jimma town public health facilities. The data were collected using a pre-tested and semi- structured questionnaire. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the practice infant sleeping positions and explanatory variables. The strength of association was evaluated using an odds ratio at a 95% confidence interval and a P-value ≤ .05 was considered to declare significant associations. Results Four hundred nine women participated in the study, with a response rate of 97%. The practice of recommended infant sleeping position (supine position) in this study was 33.5% [95% CI (28.9% - 38.6%)]. Being married Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.6; 95% CI (1.04-6.48)), residence (AOR 1.88; 95% CI (1.1-3.31)) multi gravidity (AOR 1.6; 95% CI (1.02-2.59)) and having good knowledge of sleeping position (AOR 1.55; 95% CI (1.01-2.38)) were significantly associated with the practice of infant sleep position Conclusion The practice of medically recommended infant sleep position in this study was low. Being married, residence, multi gravidity and having good knowledge of sleeping position were significantly associated with the practice of infant sleep position. Therefore, considering these associated factors during health care provision and disseminating information on safe sleep practices for mothers is needed. Also, different stakeholders, including the federal ministry of health, health professionals, and health institutions at different levels, need to give attention to such problems in addition to the service to reduce infant mortality

“…This observation is supported in the literature, with multiple studies reporting that primiparous mothers are more willing to access health services and keep updated with their neonatal screening and vaccinations. 23,24 On relating mothers' awareness of NBS with their child(ren)'s health status, the current findings were significant (p=0.001). Contrary to initial assumptions, mothers with healthy child(ren) displayed a higher awareness of NBS than those who had a disease.…”

Objective: To explore the awareness level of literate mothers regarding newborn screening programmes, and to evaluate the associated factors. Method: The descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Section of Chemical Pathology, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Aga Khan University, Karachi, from January to September 2021, and comprised mothers aged 18 years or more. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire about newborn screening, and the subjects were compared in terms of age, residential background, education and parity. Data was analysed using SPSS 23. Results: Of the 1016 responses, 896(88.2%) were analysed. The mean age of the sample was 37.7±10.87 years. There were 470(52.4%) mothers aged 31-45 years, 859(95.87%) were from urban areas, 751(84%) had a graduate degree, 652(72.7%) were multiparous and had 824(91.9%) had healthy children. Overall, 386(43%) mothers had awareness of newborn screening programmes. The main factors associated with awareness were age, education, primiparity, having healthy children, and province of residence being Sindh and Punjab (p<0.05), while the urban-rural divided was not a significant factor (p=0.737). Cost of healthcare 417(46.5%) and lack of awareness among physicians 356(39.7%) were identified as the main challenges in establishing newborn screening services in the country. Conclusion: The awareness among mothers about newborn screening programmes was general low among the subjects studied.

“…We discovered that women who have given birth more than once are substantially better at evaluating health information. As a result, they provide better care for their newborns 13 . However, it should be mentioned that the general health literacy index did not differ statistically significantly between these groups.…”

INTRODUCTION Maternal health literacy is a social skill that is relevant to successful postnatal newborn adaptation, neonatal feeding, and neonatal health outcomes, given the importance of maternal health literacy in newborn healthcare. The study aims to identify and assess the associations between maternal health literacy, neonatal health, and breastfeeding outcomes during the early postpartum period. METHODS Five hundred women who gave birth to full-term newborns at Vilnius University Hospital were invited to the study from 1 May to 30 September 2022. The 47 questions of the European Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q47) were used to assess maternal health literacy on days 2 and 3 after birth. Each subject’s health literacy indices were divided into four categories: inadequate, problematic, sufficient, and excellent. The neonatal health indicators were birth weight and height, along with the APGAR score and the outcomes of feeding either exclusively with breast milk or with adapted formula in addition to breastfeeding. RESULTS Most women who participated in the survey had insufficient or problematic health literacy (69%). The study showed that women’s higher health literacy is associated with a lower risk of obesity, a healthier diet, regular physical activity, and a higher birth weight and height of their newborns (p<0.05). Mothers with inadequate/problematic health literacy were more likely to feed their newborns with adapted formula in addition to breastfeeding. CONCLUSIONS Women’s health literacy is a factor that affects women’s healthy lifestyle choices before and during pregnancy and is significant for newborns’ health indicators.
