Introducing commercial milk formula (CMF) as prelacteal feeds can disturb exclusive breastfeeding and shorten breastfeeding duration. However, the prelacteal feeding of CMF has been growing alongside its increasing sales in Indonesia. This study examined predictors of the CMF feeding in the Malang and Sidoarjo districts of Indonesia. This analysis used post-delivery data collected from 676 mothers in a cohort evaluation of a cluster randomised controlled trial (Baduta study). Multivariate random effects logistic models were employed to assess factors associated with the CMF feeding. A total of 467 (69.1%) respondents reported giving CMF to their infants during the first 3 days after delivery. Mothers with low breastfeeding self-efficacy (BFSE) were at a higher risk of providing CMF within 3 days of birth compared to those with medium or high BFSE (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 8.12; 95% confidence interval (CI) (4.26-15.48). Receiving explanations to solve breastfeeding problems from health professionals (aOR: 1.87; 97% CI: 1.12-3.11) and primipara parity (aOR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.12-3.04) were positively associated with the CMF feeding. Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) was protective against CMF feeding (aOR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.22-0.58). There was an interaction between EIBF and BFSE. EIBF was protective among mothers with high or medium BFSE, but had no effect among those with low BFSE. CMF feeding was prevalent in Indonesia. Future strategies should focus on improving health-staff capacity to strengthen BFSE during pregnancy and provide adequate counselling for mothers with breastfeeding problems.

A Call to Action: Healthcare Professionals to Become Independent of the Commercial Milk Formula Industry.

Health-care professionals (HCP) have a responsibility to protect and promote maternal and infant health and breastfeeding is one of the most effective measures to support this. Increasing breastfeeding rates in Australia is crucial to improving population health, but the absence of robust policies, programmes and education for HCP undermines this effort. The pervasive marketing of commercial milk formulas (CMF), including sponsorship of HCP and their organisations, has introduced significant conflicts of interest that distort clinical practice, education, research and guidelines developed in the infant feeding domain.

Investigation of potential cytotoxicity of a water-soluble, red-fluorescent [70]fullerene nanomaterial in .

Fullerenes (C, C) as carbon nanomaterials can enter the environment through natural processes and anthropogenic activities, while synthetic fullerenes are commonly used in medicine in targeted therapies in association with antibodies, or anticancer and antimicrobial drugs. As the nanoparticles, they can pass through cell membranes and organelles and accumulate in the entire cytoplasm. The red-fluorescent, water-soluble [70]fullerene derivative C-OMe-ser, which produces reactive oxygen species upon illumination with an appropriate wavelength, passed into the cytoplasm of the middle region in the digestive system.

Primary prevention of food allergy: beyond early introduction.

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Allergy, Dalhousie University, IWK Health Centre, Halifax, NS, Canada.

Food allergy typically begins early in life and persists as a lifelong condition. Delayed introduction of allergenic foods followed by years of hesitancy to introduce these foods early may have contributed to the increase in food allergy prevalence in recent decades. Most infant feeding guidelines focus on the importance of early introduction of allergenic foods in infants at around age 4-6 months.

Sleep duration among breastfed, goat milk-based or cow's milk-based infant formula-fed infants: Post hoc analyses from a double-blind RCT.

Pediatric Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Department of Pediatrics, Beatrix Children's Hospital/University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands.

Objectives: To determine total, night- and daytime sleep duration and waking frequency among infants exclusively fed goat milk-based infant formula (GMF) or cow's milk-based infant formula (CMF) enroled in a randomised controlled trial and compare these to a human milk (HM) fed reference group.

Methods: Post hoc analysis from a double-blind randomised controlled trial in 304 healthy term infants was performed. Formula-fed infants were randomly assigned to receive exclusively GMF or CMF for a period of 112 days and compared to a reference group fed HM.
