Introduction: The Child feeding questionnaire is a tool that measures parent’s perception, attitudes, and preoccupation in regards of their child’s weight.

Context: Even if this tool has been used for more than 20 years and has been translated in eight languages, there isn’t a known French version.

Objectif: The aim of this methodological research was to translate in French and to test its validity and reliability. Method: Reverse translation produced a French version of Child feeding questionnaire which was sent to 455 French speaking parents of children aged five to ten years old. Instrument validity and fidelity were tested using the following analysis: factor analysis, the internal consistency, the descriptive analysis, and the Pearson correlation.

Results: A total of 136 questionnaires were analysed. Factor analysis revealed nine major factors with a significant internal consistency.

Discussion: Like other research findings, results from this study showed that parents underestimate their children’s weight and have few concerns regarding their condition.

Conclusion: Results confirm the preliminary psychometric properties of the French translated Child feeding questionnaire.

Postpartum depression (PPD) profoundly impacts the mental and physical health of women globally and is an incurable psychological disorder. Traditional pharmacological treatments often have strong side effects and may adversely affect infant health through breastfeeding, underscoring the critical need for natural and gentle treatment strategies. Sugemule-7, a traditional Chinese medicine comprising multiple natural plant ingredients, represents a potentially safer and more effective alternative.

Objective: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is generally considered to have fewer enteral feeding problems than nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) or nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV). However, the effects of HFNC on the feeding outcomes in preterm infants are still controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of HFNC on postnatal growth and feeding.

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.

Background: Evidence suggests that by recognising the psychosocial component of illness as equally important to the biological components, care becomes more holistic, and patients can benefit. Providing this type of care requires collaboration among health professionals, rather than working in isolation, to achieve better outcomes. However, there is a lack of evidence about the implementation of integrated health care.

Background: Women's reproductive experiences may enact reorganization of physiological systems with lifelong health consequences. We test the hypothesis that women's history of breastfeeding will be positively associated with neurocognitive benefits in post-menopausal women. This hypothesis is justified by breastfeeding's well-established benefits for mothers' glucose homeostasis, beta-cell function, adipose tissue mobilization, and lipid metabolism, which would plausibly be beneficial for later-life brain health.
