“…There are 40%-70% of infants and young children suffering sleep problems in China. 18 The incidence of sleep problems in infants at the 6th week was 19.8% in the present study, including long settling time, late sleep-onset time, frequent night wakings, and long nocturnal wakefulness. Main sleep problems of infants aged 1-3 months included prolonged sleep settling time, 19 frequent night wakings, 20 sleep rhythm disorders, 21 regularity disorders and reduced amount of sleep duration.…”

Aim Unpredictable nature of infant sleep–wake cycles go against that of the adult sleep. Maternal sleep quality is acknowledged as a main factor to postpartum fatigue. This study explored the effects of infant sleep patterns on maternal postpartum fatigue. Methods A total of 319 mothers of infants from two teaching hospitals in the Nantong City were enrolled. Maternal fatigue status and infant sleep patterns were assessed by the Fatigue Scale (FS‐14) and the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ). Generalized estimating equation analyses were perform to explored the effect of infant sleep patterns on maternal fatigue. Results Sleep‐onset time later than 10 p.m., and nocturnal wakefulness more than 60 min were risk factors of postpartum fatigue. After controlling the confounding variables, infant sleep patterns were still the determinant factors of postpartum fatigue. Conclusion Infant sleep pattern is a factor of maternal postpartum fatigue. It is recommended to promote infant sleep so as to improve maternal sleep quality and finally alleviate postpartum fatigue.

“…Currently, the MCH-FS was primarily used to assess feeding difficulty in children with risk factors, such as premature ( 3 ), esophageal atresia (EA) ( 6 , 22 , 23 ), agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) ( 24 ), congenital heart disease ( 25 ), asthma ( 26 ), Down's syndrome ( 27 ), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ( 28 ), but less is known about the association between MCH-FS and health and development in the normal population. However, the discrimination score for identifying feeding problems set by Ramsay et al was obtained by the normative sample recruited from the community pediatricians' offices ( 4 ).…”

Feeding Difficulty Among Chinese Toddlers Aged 1–3 Years and Its Association With Health and Development

et al. 2021

Feeding problems are biopsychosocial in nature and have a great influence on children's growth. The aim of this study was to profile the status and possible influencing factors of feeding difficulty among normal Chinese toddlers, and to investigate its association with health and development. This study is a part of the Young Investigation (YI study) conducted in 10 cities in China. Data from 924 children aged 1–3 years were analyzed. Data on socio-demographic factors, feeding behaviors, self-reported diseases, and anthropometry parameters were collected. Blood samples were drawn to determine hemoglobin levels. Feeding difficulty was evaluated by the Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS). Ages and Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition (ASQ-3) were used to assess developmental progress. Multivariable analyses were performed to explore the potential associations. The mean total score of the MCH-FS was 35.21 ± 12.90 and the highest scored item was “acting up/making a big fuss during mealtimes.” Feeding difficulty occurred more often among children with picky eating behavior or whose caregivers once used the strategy of pre-mastication. Children with feeding difficulty had lower intakes of cereals, vegetables, and fruits, and were more likely to suffer from diarrhea (OR, 2.04; 95%CI: 1.32, 3.11) or constipation (OR, 2.04; 95%CI: 1.27, 3.24), but not anemia. Feeding difficulty was also negatively associated with weight, height, head circumference and mid-upper-arm circumference-related Z-scores (P all < 0.05). In addition, it was related to poorer fine motor skills, personal and social skills, and total scores of ASQ-3 (β, −9.00; 95%CI: −15.11, −2.89). Feeding difficulty assessed by MCH-FS showed a negative association with children's health and development, supporting the need for early identification.

“…Shi et al 33 and Siffredi et al 32 further reported that children with AgCC (aged 8–17 years, 32% and 63% with complex AgCC respectively) were significantly lower than typically developing controls on measures of cognitive inhibition, flexibility, and processing speed as measured by the Stroop Color–Word Interference Test and Trail Making Test from the Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System 42 . Poor verbal fluency and cognitive switching have also been reported in several studies 7,32,33,40 …”

“…42 Poor verbal fluency and cognitive switching have also been reported in several studies. 7,32,33,40 Moutard et al 19 reported all children with isolated AgCC in their sample (followed-up at age 10 years) experienced difficulties on the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, with 50% demonstrating severe impairment on this measure of visuo-construction ability, visual memory, and executive planning. 43 In sum, the executive difficulties found in fluency, planning, inhibition, flexibility, and processing speed may all stem from the core deficits outlined by Brown et al 3 Other cognitive/sensory difficulties Difficulties on other measures, not necessarily accounted for by the proposed syndrome were also identified.…”

Aim: To understand the wide variety of clinical outcomes in children with agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC) and examine evidence for the proposed neuropsychological syndrome reported in adults with primary AgCC. Method: PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science (January 2007-November 2021) were searched to identify studies reporting on cognitive or neuropsychological outcome in children with AgCC aged up to 18 years. Twentythree articles investigating the cognitive profile were found; their methodology was evaluated against quality criteria. Results: While there was a high degree of heterogeneity across studies, including the methodological quality, there was evidence for some features of the neuropsychological syndrome in children with AgCC. Vulnerabilities in executive function and social cognition were found, with particular difficulties on complex and novel tasks. Interpretation: Data on the neuropsychological outcomes in children with AgCC are limited. Broad assessments are necessary to determine the extent to which core features of the neuropsychological syndrome may characterize children with AgCC and how additional neuroanatomical features contribute to outcome.
