“…Breastfeeding rates found in children from Prague are in line with results of the multicentre survey, the part of which our children were (Schneidrova et al, 2003) and are similar to those found in another recent Czech study (Prochazka and Halaskova, 2001).…”

“…Only 15.1% of infants were breastfed for 3-6 months and 14.4% for longer than 6 months according to a nationwide anthropological research in 1991 (Lhotska et al, 1994). This increase may be attributed to the National Breastfeeding Promotion Programme implemented in the country since 1991 (Schneidrova et al, 2004).…”

“…The present study is a follow-up of a subsample of subjects enrolled into a multicentre study undertaken with the financial support of the Ministry of Health with the objective to evaluate the quality of breastfeeding support and infant feeding practices during the first 6 months of life (Schneidrova et al, 2003). The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the 3rd Faculty of Medicine of Charles University, Prague.…”

“…The published research on young child feeding in the Czech Republic has focused so far on infants and brings information about breastfeeding patterns, use of other milk, and the timing of introduction of non-milk fluids or foods (Lhotska et al, 1994;Tlaskal et al, 1995;Kudlova and Rames, 2000;Prochazka and Halaskova, 2001;Schneidrova et al, 2003).…”

“…To fill this gap and obtain information that could serve as a feedback on compliance with current feeding recommendations and as a baseline for future investigations, we followed-up a subsample of children enrolled at birth into a multicentre survey aimed at breastfeeding support and practices (Schneidrova et al, 2003) with the aim to investigate feeding habits of children between 9 and 24 months. The purpose of this paper is to present their food consumption, feeding patterns and their relation to sociodemographic factors.…”

Objective: To describe feeding patterns during first two years of life and their relation to sociodemographic factors. Design: Longitudinal study. Setting: Prague, Czech Republic. Subjects: Ninety-seven full-term healthy singletons enrolled at maternity ward, of which 90.7% completed the study. Methods: Diet was assessed at 9, 12 and 24 months of age using a structured 3-day dietary record. Additional information was obtained from questionnaires completed at birth and at 6 months. Results: The median duration of exclusive breastfeeding was 5 months, and that of total breastfeeding 9 months. Breastfeeding rate 47.4% at 9 months declined to 4.5% at 24 months. Total duration of breastfeeding was positively associated with maternal education and marital status but not with maternal age, gender or birth order. Breastfeeding frequency at 9, 12 and 24 months was 4.8, 4 and 3.7, respectively. The complementary food feeding frequency increased significantly with age (4.5, 4.7 and 5.9 times per day, respectively). All children at any age point consumed fruits, cereal and milk products. The proportion of children consuming meat and vegetables had increased with age but between ages 9 and 24 months, at least 23-38% children did not consume vegetables daily and 28-40% did not consume foods from meat/fish/poultry/eggs group daily. The proportion of children consuming milk and foods associated with the early complementary feeding period had fallen with age while the consumption of cereal foods other than porridge had increased. Values of indicators of adequate complementary feeding practices tentatively suggested in the context of WHO expert consultation had closely reflected breastfeeding rates. Conclusions: Breastfeeding duration is shorter than WHO recommends. It is influenced by maternal education and marital status. Compliance with complementary feeding recommendations is relatively good. Continued promotion of healthy infant and young child feeding practices is needed. Indicators evaluating complementary feeding practices should assess breastfeeding separately from other aspects.

Rates of self-reported implementation of the Ten Steps are relatively high in Massachusetts. Step 1 implementation is significantly associated with formula availability, and overall implementation with acceptance of free formula. Continued assessment is needed to confirm these results in larger samples and to examine the relationship of implementation of individual steps, breastfeeding rates, and health outcomes.
