Objective: This study explored and analyzed the effects of bilateral and unilateral early sucking within 2 h after delivery on lactation.
Methods: From August 2019 to August 2020, 392 primiparas with full-term, singleton, natural delivery, and normal breast conditions were submitted to the Obstetrics Department of our hospital and were enrolled as the research subjects. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 196 in each group. Both groups implemented early sucking with the assistance of a midwife within 2 h after delivery. The experimental group conducted bilateral breast sucking and the control group received unilateral sucking. The onset time of colostrum, the lactation volume, and the prolactin levels at 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after delivery, including neonatal urination and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.
Results: The onset time of colostrum in the experimental group was much earlier than that in the control group with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The postpartum filling time of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There was a statistically insignificant difference in the distribution of lactation yield between the two groups at 6 h of postpartum (). The lactation yield distribution in the experimental group at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h was critically superior to that in control group, with statistically significant difference (). The degree of prolactin in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (). There was no significant difference in urination frequency and the incidence of complications between the two groups of neonates at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h ().
Conclusion: The effect of bilateral early lactation within 2 h after delivery is superior to that of unilateral early lactation, which is worthy of clinical application.

Background: Tongue-tie is associated with nipple pain and early breastfeeding cessation. To date, research has been limited by small sample sizes and a dearth of evidence on the effects of tongue-tie on infant feeding symptoms and physiologic breastfeeding mechanics.
Objectives: In this article, we describe the protocol for our study exploring infant feeding, negative breastfeeding symptoms, maternal anatomy, and physiologic sucking data between infants with and without tongue-tie.

Background: Facilitating the development of the sucking function in early stages of preterm infants holds substantial potential for influencing their long-term outcomes. To this end, our team has devised a sucking-rewarded automatic feeding device specifically tailored for preterm infants. The present study is designed to investigate the impacts of this innovative device, utilizing a multi-omics profiling approach, on beagle dogs as a surrogate model.

Fossilized plant-insect herbivore associations provide fundamental information about the assembly of terrestrial communities through geologic time. However, fossil evidence of associations originating in deep time and persisting to the modern day is scarce. We studied the insect herbivore damage found on 284 Eucalyptus frenguelliana leaves from the early Eocene Laguna del Hunco rainforest locality in Argentinean Patagonia and compared damage patterns with those observed on extant, rainforest-associated Eucalyptus species from Australasia (> 10 000 herbarium sheets reviewed).

Background: As a result of the dental alterations pacifiers can cause, several designs have been described, differing in the shape and size of the teat. The aim of this review was to compare the influence of the physiological pacifier on the development of malocclusions in children with other types of pacifier. The research question was: does the use of physiological pacifiers cause less dentomaxillary alterations than other designs?
Methods: A scoping review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus.

Eating behavior and food preferences are shaped in early life and contribute to lifelong food choices. Much of the current dietary advice for infants and toddlers focuses on the nutritional quality of foods, with less emphasis on food sensory qualities. However, exposure to age-appropriate sensory properties, such as tastes and textures, are key in shaping early-life eating behaviors and food preferences.
