“…The practice of medically recommended infant sleeping position (supine position) in this study was 33.5% [95% CI (28.9% – 38.6%)]. The finding was lower than a studies conducted in Istanbul, Turkey (46%), 10 in United States(61%), 11 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (61.9%) 12 and in Brazil (55.4%). 13 This variation is possible due to variation in study design, socioeconomic and cultural differences in the populations assessed in these studies.…”

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

Context Combining or supplementing breastfeeding with formula feeding, also called mixed milk feeding (MMF), is a common infant feeding practice. However, there is no well-established MMF evidence-base for informing and guiding parents. A better understanding of the reasons why mothers practice MMF may facilitate identification of efficient strategies for supporting exclusive breastfeeding, and/or opportunities to prolong breastfeeding, at least partially. Objective An updated systematic literature review was undertaken with the primary aim of gaining a deeper understanding of the reasons why mothers choose MMF. Data Sources Six databases were searched for relevant articles published in English from January 2012 to January 2022. Data Extraction Two reviewers independently performed the screenings and data extraction, and any differences were resolved by a third reviewer. Data from 138 articles were included, 90 of which contained data on MMF reasons/drivers, and 60 contained data on infant age and/or maternal demographic factors associated with MMF. Data Analysis A total of 13 different unique MMF drivers/reasons were identified and categorized according to whether the drivers/reasons related to perceived choice, necessity, or pressure. Risk of bias was evaluated using the Quality Assessment Tool of Diverse Studies and the JBI Systematic Reviews tool. Several different terms were used to describe and classify MMF across the studies. The most commonly reported reasons for MMF were related to a perception of necessity (39% of drivers, eg, concerns about infant’s hunger/perceived breast milk insufficiency or breastfeeding difficulties), followed by drivers associated with perceived choice (34%; eg, having more flexibility) and perceived pressure (25%; eg, returning to work or healthcare professionals’ advice). This was particularly true for infants aged 3 months or younger. Conclusion The key global drivers for MMF and their distribution across infant age and regions were identified and described, providing opportunities for the provision of optimal breastfeeding support. A unified definition of MMF is needed in order to enable more comparable and standardized research. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO registration no. CRD42022304253.
