“…Of these, 587 completed the baseline questionnaire, equating to a response rate of 68% of mothers who were contacted and 55% of those who were eligible for the study. Comparison with local peri‐natal statistics suggests that the PIFS II sample was representative of new mothers in Western Australia with regard to maternal age and parity; however, more mothers in the PIFS II study smoked during pregnancy 18 . The demographic characteristics of the sample at baseline were previously described in detail 16,17 …”

“…The Perth Infant Feeding Study II (PIFS II) was conducted between mid-September 2002 and mid-July 2003 to prospectively monitor infant feeding practices and the key findings and methodology have been previously reported in detail. [16][17][18] Mothers were recruited from hospital shortly after delivery and were followed up by telephone interview at 4, 10, 16, 22, 32, 40 and 52 weeks post-partum to collect information on current feeding practices. Selected foods identified from a range of open-and close-ended questions related to the introduction to solids were categorised into core foods and seven main types of non-core foods and beverages that have been reported previously as being common in the diets of young children, 19,20 namely biscuits and cakes, hot chips/French fries, ice-cream, fruit juice, sweet and savoury snacks, takeaway foods and cordials and softdrinks.…”

Aim: To report the proportion of Australian infants who were introduced to non‐core foods and beverages and to identify factors that are associated with the introduction of non‐core foods and beverages to infants in the first year of life. Methods: Participants were 587 women recruited from two maternity hospitals in Perth and followed up by telephone interview at 4, 10, 16, 22, 32, 40 and 52 weeks post‐partum to collect information on infant feeding practices. Factors associated with introduction of non‐core foods and beverages by 52 weeks post‐partum were identified using multivariate logistic regression. Results: The three non‐core foods most commonly introduced to infants by 52 weeks post‐partum were biscuits and cakes (91.6%, n = 415), hot chips/French fries (78.6%, n = 356) and ice‐cream (68.2%, n = 309). Independent predictors of introduction of non‐core foods and beverages by 52 weeks post‐partum were age at which solids were first introduced and the presence of older siblings. Conclusion: Identifying factors associated with the introduction of non‐core foods and beverages to infants is important to help health professionals better target early feeding interventions. Consistent recommendations are required to ensure clear understanding of what foods are suitable and not suitable for infants.

“…Breastfeeding in a public place or in front of others is a commonly tested issue [10,18,30,41]. One of the most frequently used instruments in attitude studies is the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale, which consists of items on the health and practical benefits as well as the financial benefits of breastfeeding [11,21,42-44]. However, the health benefits of breastfeeding derived from the attitude scale can overlap if breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes are measured simultaneously and with different scales.…”

BackgroundBreastfeeding attitudes are known to influence infant feeding but little information exists on the prenatal breastfeeding attitudes of parents. The purpose of this study was to describe Finnish parents' prenatal breastfeeding attitudes and their relationships with demographic characteristics.MethodsThe electronic Breastfeeding Knowledge, Attitude and Confidence scale was developed and 172 people (123 mothers, 49 fathers) completed the study. The data were analysed using factor analysis and nonparametric methods.ResultsBreastfeeding was regarded as important, but 54% of the respondents wanted both parents to feed the newborn. The mean rank values of breastfeeding attitudes differed significantly when parity, gender, education, age, breastfeeding history and level of breastfeeding knowledge were considered. The respondents who were expecting their first child, were 18-26 years old or had vocational qualifications or moderate breastfeeding knowledge had more negative feelings and were more worried about breastfeeding than respondents who had at least one child, had a higher vocational diploma or academic degree or had high levels of breastfeeding knowledge. Respondents with high levels of breastfeeding knowledge did not appear concerned about equality in feeding.ConclusionsBoth mothers and fathers found breastfeeding important. A father's eagerness to participate in their newborn's life should be included in prenatal breastfeeding counselling and ways in which to support breastfeeding discussed. Relevant information about breastfeeding should focus on the parents who are expecting their first child, those who are young, those with low levels of education or those who have gaps in breastfeeding knowledge, so that fears and negative views can be resolved.

Infants who drink cows milk: A cohort study

Abstract: Despite recommendations that cows milk should not be given before 12 months of age, the majority of infants were given cows milk before this age. This suggests the need for further education programs.
