AI Article Synopsis
- Bottle feeding is becoming more common among infants under two in Ethiopia, with a study in Woldia finding a prevalence rate of 42.7%.
- Key sociodemographic factors influencing bottle feeding include the infant's age, maternal age, number of children, and mother's occupation.
- The study highlights the need for further research and intervention to address the increasing trend of bottle feeding for better health outcomes among infants.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Bottle feeding should be avoided when possible in infants under the age of two to improve health outcomes. The magnitude of bottle feeding practice is currently increasing in Ethiopia, however factors associated with bottle feeding usage are rarely addressed in research. We aimed to fill this gap and assess the magnitude of bottle feeding and its association with sociodemographic factors among infants in Woldia, Ethiopia in 2019.
Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Woldia General Hospital at the Immunization Clinic. A total of 255 mothers who had infants were selected by systematic random sampling method. Data was collected through face-to-face interview using a structured standardized questionnaire. The data was entered to EpiData version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Binary logistic regression analysis models were used to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. Variables with p-value < 0.2 in bivariable logistic regression analysis were entered to multivariable logistic regression analysis. Finally, variables with p-value < 0.05 with 95% CI in multivariable logistic regression were taken as independent predictors. COR and AOR were used to show the strength of association between the dependent and independent variables.
Results: The rate of bottle feeding practice in this study was 42.7% (95%CI: 35.8, 48.2). Being an infant age 0-5 months old [AOR=0.16; 95%CI: 0.06, 0.4], being a mother age 35-50 years old [AOR=0.43; 95%CI: 0.22, 0.85], having 2-5 children [AOR=6.37; 95%CI: 1.33, 30.44], and being a farmer as reported mother's occupation [AOR=2.72; 95%CI: 1.30, 5.67] showed significant association with bottle feeding practice.
Conclusions: The magnitude of bottle feeding practice was significantly higher in the current study as compared to national prevalence. Several sociodemographic factors showed significant association with bottle feeding practice which need to be explored further in the future research.

There is ample research discussing the benefits of a pacifier-activated music system with preterm and high-risk infants. Benefits include improving the quality of nonnutritive sucking (NNS) and increased feeding volume/attempts/endurance, which lead to decreased time to full oral feedings and shortened hospital stays. The use of pacifier-activated music systems supports a faster transition to oral feeding in preterm infants while learning to breastfeed or bottle feed in the NICU.

Background: Preterm infants face challenges in their suck-swallow-breathe coordination leading to an increased risk of aspiration. Key components of the swallowing process are present around 34 to 35 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), but preterm infants fatigue early affecting timing, quality and efficiency in swallowing and prolonging breathing pauses. Feeding strategies need to address these specific challenges in suck-swallow-breathe coordination.

Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the frequency of breast refusal (BR), associated factors including postpartum depression and breastfeeding self-efficacy, and investigate the recovery status following BR.
Methods: The survey comprised four sections, to investigate the sociodemographic characteristics of mothers and their babies, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) of mothers, and features associated with BR. The survey was administered online to those with babies aged 0-24 months.

Background: Responsive feeding is recommended and occurs when caregivers use infants' behavioral cues to guide the timing, pacing, and duration of feeding. Paced bottle-feeding is an approach designed to promote responsive bottle-feeding by mimicking the behavioral benefits of breastfeeding. This study evaluates the efficacy of paced bottle-feeding compared to typical bottle-feeding and breastfeeding for promoting responsive feeding and other markers of healthy feeding outcomes, such as slower feeding rates and lower likelihood of spitting up.
