Breastfeeding (BF) is vital for maternal and infant health, yet post-hospital discharge support remains a challenge. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides BF peer counseling prenatally and up to 1-year postpartum among low-income women in the United States. The Lactation Advice Through Texting Can Help (LATCH) intervention is an evidence-based two-way text messaging intervention that provides BF education and support in the WIC peer counseling program.

Despite the WHO recommendations in favor of breastfeeding, most infants receive infant formulas (IFs), which are complex matrices involving numerous ingredients and processing steps. Our aim was to understand the impact of the quality of the protein ingredient in IFs on gut microbiota and physiology, blood metabolites and brain gene expression. Three IFs were produced using whey proteins (WPs) from cheese whey (IF-A) or ideal whey (IFs-C and -D) and caseins, either in a micellar form (IFs-A and -C) or partly in a non-micellar form (IF-D).

Breastfeeding represents a strong selective factor for shaping the infant gut microbiota. Besides providing nutritional requirements for the infant, human milk is a key source of oligosaccharides, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), and diverse microbes in early life. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of human milk microbiota and oligosaccharides on the composition of infant faecal microbiota at one, three, and nine months postpartum.

Background: Studies have investigated ways to reduce infants' pain during heel lancing, but research on preventing adverse events is scarce. This study investigated whether or not the number of infants with normal comfort (>8 and ≤14), distress (≤4), and pain (≤4) scores increased and whether or not the number of adverse events (blue and/or edematous heels and improperly placed incisions) decreased during and after heel lancing following an intervention.
Methods: A pre- and post-quality improvement intervention including 189 and 186 heel lances, respectively, in infants (postmenstrual age ≥ 28 + 0 to ≤ 43 + 6 weeks) was conducted in May to July 2020 and April to July 2022.
