“…In a prospective cohort study with a 5-year follow-up beyond infancy, our analysis added new evidence on the potential long-term influences of infant egg introduction in the United States. Our observed associations between later egg introduction in infancy with lower HAZ at 6 years were supported by some (Iannotti et al, 2020;Nachvak et al, 2020;Papanikolaou & Fulgoni, 3rd, 2018), but not all previous studies (Stewart et al, 2019).…”

To evaluate the relationship between infant age of egg introduction and malnutrition‐related growth outcomes in the United States, we analysed secondary data of 1716 mother–child dyads in the Infant Feeding Practices Study II and its Year 6 Follow‐Up Study. Malnutrition‐related growth outcomes included body mass index z‐score (BMIZ), obesity (weight‐for‐height z‐score [WHZ] ≥3 or BMIZ ≥ 2), WHZ, wasting (WHZ < −2), height‐for‐age z‐score (HAZ), and stunting (HAZ < –2). Infant age at egg introduction was analysed as a continuous variable. We used generalised estimating equations to estimate the mean difference in continuous outcomes and relative risk [RR]) for binary outcomes, adjusting for related maternal and child confounders. We also explored interactions with child sex, maternal race/ethnicity, maternal educational level, ever breastfeeding, and formula feeding. In the total sample, a later infant age at egg introduction was associated with a lower mean difference in HAZ (confounder‐adjusted mean difference = −0.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.12 to −0.03 per month) and a higher risk of stunting (confounder‐adjusted RR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.03–1.33 per month) at 6 years. The associations between infant age at egg introduction and 12‐month growth outcomes differed by child sex. Among females but not among males, later introduction of eggs was associated with a lower mean WHZ (−0.06 [−0.12 to 0.00] per month) at 12 months. Later egg introduction during infancy was associated with a lower mean HAZ and a higher risk of stunting in 6‐year‐old children. Besides this, it was associated with a lower WHZ among females at 12 months.

“…Eggs are rich in high-quality protein and micronutrients, including various amino acids needed by human beings, and are easy to be digested. Studies on school-aged children also con rmed that high intake frequency of milk and eggs can reduce the incidence of growth retardation [21], which is consistent with the conclusions of our study. At the same time, multivariate analysis found the risk of overweight and obesity increased in children with more milk and eggs intake.…”

Background With the rapid development of social economy in China, children's dietary behaviors and lifestyle has undergone great changes. Picking eating, inappropriate protein intake, inactive lifestyle may lead to children's poor physical growth. Especially for preschool children who are in the key period for the formation of dietary habits and lifestyle, early identification of problems in their diet and living habits and interventions will be the key procedure to improve the growth and health level of the whole population. Methods All subjects were from a cross-sectional survey in China, a total of 53172 preschool children were included. The anthropometric measurement was completed on site, and dietary behavior, physical activity, sleeping and screen time were collected by face-to-face interview using a self-made questionnaire. Results 1)Among preschool children, 34.0% were picky eaters, the growth level of them was lower than non-picky eaters, the height SDS and weight SDS of picky eaters were 0.01 ± 1.00 and 0.10 ± 1.10, and those of non-picky eaters were 0.17 ± 1.01 and 0.17 ± 1.15. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). 2) The growth level of children with high frequency of milk and eggs intake was higher than others: the height SDS and weight SDS of children ate more than 6 eggs per week were 0.26 ± 0.99 and 0.25 ± 1.13, those who did not eat eggs were − 0.12 ± 1.02 and − 0.20 ± 1.10; the height SDS and weight SDS of children drank more than 6 bags of milk per week were 0.17 ± 1.01 and 0.14 ± 1.14, and those did not drink milk were − 0.14 ± 1.04 and − 0.21 ± 1.15. 3༉Only 12.3% of children met all sleeping, physical activity and screen time requirements in guidelines, and they have higher HtSDS and lower WtSDS. 4) Multivariate analysis showed more protein intake, inadequate sleep were risk factors of overweight and obesity, while short screen time was a protective factor. Conclusions Appropriate protein intake, adequate sleep and shorter screen time are associated with healthy physical growth and reduced risk of obesity and obesity in preschool children.

“…Information gathered from print media, social media, and health professionals, for example, has an effect on one's awareness. Someone who has access to a number of sources of information would have a greater idea of how to stop stunting [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39]. The influence of mother's knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding shows that the influence of mother's knowledge increases through the presentation of interactive lectures using booklet media, while interactive lectures without book media show that maternal knowledge varies.…”

Background: Stunting is caused in part by feeding behavior in infants and young children. Knowledge is the most important factor in shaping one's attitude and behavior, particularly when it comes to infants and young children feeding. This study aims to find out how the mothers’ knowledge of infant and child feeding could be increased through booklets in Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Method: This study is a quasi-experimental non-randomized study with pre and post-test only control design. Study was conducted in Jayabakti Village, Banggai Regency. Sample consisted of 40 mothers of children under five collected with purposive sampling method from October to December 2020. At the local Integrated Health Service Post, booklets were distributed once a month as part of the study intervention. Over the duration of the three-month study period, booklets were distributed three times. The used booklets were the modified version of the WHO-developed Infant and Young Child Feeding Counseling: An Integrated Course. The mean difference was used to compare the results of the pre- and post-tests on knowledge of infant and young child feeding. The hypothesis test was applied with a 95% confidence level of 0.05. Result: The respondents with ages ranging between 15 and 20 were 42.5%. Mothers graduated from senior high schools were 45%. Mothers that had three children were 55.0%. Family income was 586,000 rupiahs in average. After the booklets distribution for three months, there was an increase in the mothers’ knowledge regarding infant and young child feeding. The older the mother's age, the better her knowledge (p=0,015). Factors of children's age and mother's education did not have a significant effect. Conclusion: Mothers knowledge regarding infant and young child feeding at Banggai Regency Central of Sulawesi is generally good. After using the booklets, their knowledge has increased. With time, the mother's knowledge expands. Formal education has no significant effect on infants and young children nutrition knowledge
