BACKGROUND The complementary feeding period is a time of unparalleled dietary change for every human, during which the diet changes from one that is 100% milk to a diet that resembles that of the wider family, in less than a year. Despite this major dietary shift, we know relatively little about food and nutrient intake in infants worldwide, and virtually nothing about the impact of baby food ‘pouches’ and ‘Baby-Led Weaning’ (BLW); infant feeding approaches that are becoming increasingly popular. Pouches are squeezable containers with a plastic spout that have great appeal for parents, as evidenced by their extraordinary market share worldwide. Baby-Led Weaning is an alternative approach to introducing solids that promotes the infant self-feeding whole foods rather than being fed purées, and is popular and widely advocated on social media. The nutritional and health impacts of these novel methods of infant feeding have not yet been determined. OBJECTIVE The aim of the First Foods New Zealand study is to determine the iron status, growth, food and nutrient intakes, breast milk intake, eating and feeding behaviours, dental health, oral motor skills, and choking risk, of New Zealand infants in general, and of those using pouches or BLW compared to those who are not. METHODS Dietary intake (two 24-hour recalls supplemented with food photographs), iron status (haemoglobin, plasma ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor), weight status (body mass index), food pouch use and extent of BLW (questionnaire), breast milk intake (deuterium oxide ‘dose-to-mother’ technique), eating and feeding behaviours (questionnaires and video recording of an evening meal), dental health (photographs of upper and lower teeth for counting of caries and developmental defects of enamel), oral motor skills (questionnaires), and choking risk (questionnaire) will be assessed in 625 infants aged 7.0-9.9 months. Propensity score matching will be used to address bias caused by differences in demographics between groups so that the results more closely represent a potential causal effect. RESULTS This observational study has full ethical approval from the Health and Disability Ethics Committees New Zealand (19/STH/151) and was funded in May 2019 by the Health Research Council (HRC) of New Zealand (grant 19/172). Data collection commenced in July 2020 and first results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2022. CONCLUSIONS This large study will provide much needed data on the implications for nutritional intake and health of the use of baby food pouches, and BLW, in infancy.

The key to shaping the health of the future generation are the start timing of breastfeeding. In a single-center observational study in the Department of physiology of the newborn Perinatal Center, the nature of breastfeeding and problems in breast-feeding in mothers of healthy newborns in the first days after birth were evaluated. An analysis of the promotion and support of breastfeeding in 103 pairs (mother infant) during hospital stay in accordance with WHO recommendations was conducted. Women were polled on socio-demographic issues (age, marital status, education, method of delivery), gestational age of infants, antropometry, Apgar score and infant feeding method. 71% of newborn were exclusively breastfed. Problems with breastfeeding were found in 41.7% of women. The most often meet: hypogalactia (17.48%) and cracked nipples (8.74%). All women received advice on how to eliminate their causes. The importance of providing permanent specialized professional support in breastfeeding to overcome the difficulties of matters after discharge from the hospital has been proved.

Abstract Objectives Australian Infant Feeding Guidelines recommend first foods be iron rich with no added sugars and that nutrient poor discretionary foods be avoided. They also encourage exposing infants to a variety of foods and flavours with increasingly complex textures. Here, we compare nutritional and textural properties of commercially available infant and toddler foods with established guidelines. Methods Infant and toddler food products available as of August 2019 were identified by searching for ‘baby food’ on retailer websites and by location in the ‘baby food’ section of major supermarket chains (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and Foodland) in Adelaide, South Australia. Manufacturer websites were cross checked to identify all available products. Nutrient composition of foods was obtained from the nutrient information panel on the product label, manufacturer or retailer websites. In total, 446 products from 17 brands were reviewed, which accounted for over 90% of the market share. Results Most products were poor sources of iron, and 80% of first foods were fruit-based. Half of all products were purees in squeeze pouches and one third of all products were discretionary foods. The nutritional content of many products was inconsistent with guidelines, being low in iron, sweet, smooth in consistency, or classified as discretionary. Conclusions Reformulation of products is warranted to improve iron content, particularly in mixed main dishes, expand the range of vegetable only foods, and textural variety. Greater regulatory oversight and front of package labelling are needed to better inform parents and caregivers. Frequent consumption of commercial baby foods low in iron may increase risk of iron deficiency. Excessive consumption of purees via squeeze pouches may also have implications for overweight and obesity risk. Funding Sources There are no funding sources to declare for this research.

Scholarly Attention

Abstract While wet nursing interactions between enslaved women of African descent and colonial women have received extensive scholarly attention, much remains to be done in understanding colonial and Native women’s interactions around breastfeeding and infant feeding. This article close-reads two captivity narratives in which baby food features prominently: God’s Protecting Providence, Jonathan Dickinson’s 1699 narrative of being shipwrecked among Ais, Jeaga, Jobé, Santaluces, and Surruque Indians in coastal Florida in 1696; and God’s Mercy Surmounting Man’s Cruelty, Elizabeth Hanson’s 1728 narrative of being captured by Wabanaki people during Dummer’s War in 1724. Captivity rendered the colonists dependent upon intimate Native care for the survival of their children. When Dickinson and Hanson crafted their narratives of their captivities, however, they sought to reinscribe colonial supremacy after experiences that called it into question. The complexities of colonial-Native interactions around infant feeding in these sources demonstrate the need for further scholarship on reproduction and settler colonialism.

In 2017, the field of lactation and breastfeeding support suffers from a bit of “halo adjusting” by a vocal few who, in the name of upholding the antipredatory marketing mandate of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes (International Baby Food Action Network, n.d.), publicly and privately scold their colleagues for not sufficiently following the Code. Rather than generate better understanding of the Code, and how health workers can support breastfeeding families to meet optimal infant feeding goals, this “shame-and-blame” tactic drives health workers away from learning how better to uphold the Code (lest they suffer the slings and arrows of colleagues).

Survey Approach

Growth in infants and nutritional problems in children are often caused by the inaccuracy of parents in their habits of inappropriate breastfeeding and complementary feeding, and mothers are less aware that babies aged 6 months already need complementary feeding. mothers in good quantity and quality. At the age of 6 months apart from breastmilk, the baby can start to be given complementary foods, because at this age the baby already has a chewing reflex with stronger digestion. In giving baby food, it is necessary to pay attention to the punctuality of delivery, frequency, type, quantity, foodstuff, and method of manufacture, improper infant feeding habits, such as feeding too early or too late, insufficient food given and inadequate frequency. this can have an impact on the health and nutritional status of the baby. Based on the data obtained from the health office, it is known that from 12 districts the prevalence of malnutrition and malnutrition based on the BB / U indicator is 17.2% and based on the TB / U indicator is 20.2%. This community service aims to provide information and improve the skills of mothers in complementary feeding of breast milk. This community service was carried out in the Work Area of the Simpang Kawat Puskesmas, at the time of January 2020 the service method used a survey approach, lectures and discussions. The results obtained by mothers can understand the meaning of complementary foods for breast milk, the benefits of complementary foods for breast milk and the schedule for which they are given.
