Parental awareness of risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and infant care practices were compared in an area of relative deprivation and one of relative affluence in Cardiff. Awareness was high in both areas. More infants slept on the side in the deprived area (p < 0.02). One in three babies was exposed to cigarette smoking, significantly more in the deprived area (p < 0.001). Health professionals should discourage side sleeping and smoking, especially in areas of deprivation.

Maternal and Infant Characteristics and Pumping Profiles of Women That Predominantly Pump Milk for Their Infants.
Nutrients

School of Molecular Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia.
Background: Whilst it is inconvenient and time-intensive, predominantly (PP) and exclusively pumping (EP) mothers rely on breast expression to provide milk for their infants and to ensure continued milk supply, yet these populations are poorly understood.
Methods: We assessed and characterised Western Australian PP mothers ( = 93) regarding 24 h milk production (MP) and infant milk intake and demographics, perinatal complications and breastfeeding difficulties, the frequencies of which were compared with published general population frequencies. Pumping efficacy and milk flow parameters during a pumping session in PP mothers ( = 32) were compared with those that pump occasionally (reference group, = 60).
