“…The Department of Health, in accordance with the World Health Organisation, advises that from six months a variety of complementary foods should be introduced alongside continued breastfeeding and/or breast milk substitutes [20,21]. Current parental practices in the UK however deviate from the recommendation in terms of providing a wide selection of appropriate complementary foods, as shown by the latest Diet and Nutrition Survey for Infants and Young Children (DNSIYC) [22].…”

Background: Weaning marks the transition from a milk-only diet to the consumption of solid foods. It is a time period where nutrition holds an undeniable importance and taste experiences have a long-lasting effect on food preferences. The factors and conditions that form parental feeding practices are yet to be fully understood; doing so can help target problematic behaviours and develop interventions aiming to modify them. Objective: This study used a qualitative methodology to gain a better understanding of parental experiences of weaning a child. Particular emphasis was placed on exploring the factors and conditions that favour the establishment of a healthy relationship with food in infancy and those that impede it. Methods: Thirty-seven mothers of healthy infants 3–14 months with no previous history of allergies or food-related disorders were recruited. Eight semi-structured focus group discussions were conducted, transcribed and analysed thematically. Results: Discussions revealed a number of opportunities to establish healthy eating habits during weaning, as well as relevant challenges. Important opportunities included: acting as a role model for healthy foods; giving multiple opportunities to try a food; food variety “so you don’t have a fussy eater”; and without food variety “things aren’t going to work properly”. Additionally, some of the challenges identified were: misconceptions about the definition of food variety; and distractions occurring during feeding. Conclusions: Mothers were mindful of the need to provide their children with appropriate nutritional stimuli during weaning. They were aware of their role in influencing their infants’ likes and used strategies such as modelling and repeated food exposure. The importance of a diverse diet in infancy was acknowledged, although knowledge gaps exist in relation to its definition. Distractions were tactfully employed by mothers to assist feeding. Findings of this study have applications in developing interventions for nutritional education in the complementary feeding period.

“…13 A study describing a telephonic lactation support program showed that mothers often used the service to clarify breastfeeding-related doubts. 28 All these studies among women in the perinatal period, albeit from high-income country settings, indicate the demand for phone helplines for this vulnerable population. Women with mental health problems who have recently given birth, especially in LAMI countries, may find it difficult to travel to avail timely support.…”

Background: For women with perinatal mental illness, phone helplines may be a useful way of accessing help. This study assessed the feasibility, acceptability, limitations, and usage patterns of a helpline service for mothers discharged from a mother-baby psychiatry unit. Methods: Mothers discharged from a mother baby unit during an 18-month period were provided with a helpline number. A social worker answered the calls. Details of the calls, including the reasons and the interventions provided, were recorded. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed by calling all users and nonusers. Satisfaction with the helpline was recorded among users, and reasons for not calling were assessed among nonusers. Results: Among 113 mothers, 51 (45%) made 248 calls. Calls were regarding medication, sleep problems, planning pregnancies, symptom exacerbation, appointments, and suicidal ideation. Some calls were related to domestic violence ( n = 13, 5.24%), and infant health and breastfeeding ( n = 11, 4.44%). Seventy-six (67%, 44 callers and 32 noncallers) were contacted. The majority (41/44) of the callers found it useful: 91% said they got help, and 95% said they would recommend it to others. However, language difficulties (9%) and technical problems (5%) were reported. Among the noncallers, the majority reported having experienced no problem related to mental health or had contacted a doctor. However, of the noncallers, one woman died of suicide, did not have access to a phone, and the family did not choose to call. Conclusions: Helpline phone service appears to be feasible and acceptable and can be adapted in other mother-baby psychiatry units in low and middle-income countries. However, in some women, the nonavailability of a phone may be a limiting factor.

“…En relación con los grupos de apoyo para la intervención de problemas asociados a la lactancia materna, es muy frecuente que las madres experimenten dificultades durante la lactancia, y la falta de conocimiento o tener establecidos conceptos errados puede generar sentimientos de frustración, que al no ser mitigados y/o asesorados de la forma correcta pueden causar un efecto desfavorecedor para la LM, conllevando a la reducción en su frecuencia y su duración 59 .…”

La lactancia materna asegura la adecuada nutrición durante las primeras etapas del desarrollo infantil dadas sus múltiples e insuperables propiedades, por esto es causal de gran impacto para la salud pública mundial; pese a este reconocimiento, se presentan dificultades que obstaculizan su curso normal e incluso producen su abandono. A fin de establecer estrategias que puedan potenciar índices de lactancia materna tales como su duración y exclusividad, es imperativo identificar los retos que los grupos de apoyo a lactancia deben asumir al momento de intervenir en la promoción y manejo de los problemas más frecuentes descritos en la literatura. Tras una revisión exhaustiva de 55 estudios publicados en los últimos cinco años, se identificaron estrategias de prevención y control de los principales problemas asociados con la lactancia materna, además se describió el impacto de esta en la disminución de la tasa de morbimortalidad mundial a corto mediano y largo plazo, entonces a razón de la protección promoción y apoyo de la lactancia materna se describen 3 políticas públicas principales denominadas: alimentación del lactante y el niño pequeño, hospitales amigos del niño y ley de comercialización de sucedáneos de la leche materna. Es así como los resultados obtenidos ponen en manifiesto la importancia de llevar a cabo intervenciones de promoción mediante transferencia adecuada de información y abordaje de los problemas habituales durante la lactancia a través de grupos de apoyo con el fin de mejorar las prácticas y así prevenir y solucionar posibles problemas potenciales presentes durante esta etapa.
