The makings of a maternal obesity epidemic: A meta-narrative review
CONCLUSION: Increased medicalisation of maternal obesity, which includes defining and managing weight as pathological can limit women's choice and control over their maternity care. There is a need for national and local policy development which includes women in the process. It is important that women's views are heard, understood and acted upon so that a balance can be achieved, avoiding over medicalisation, yet ensuring mortality and morbidity risks are minimised.PMID:37856978 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103826 (Source: Midwifery)

Text message conversations between peer supporters and women to deliver infant feeding support using behaviour change techniques: A qualitative analysis
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Infant Feeding Helpers were able to provide engaging and successful breastfeeding peer support through text messages. Messaging was shown to be an appropriate and accessible method of delivering BCTs focussing on 'social support' and 'changing the social environment'. Peer supporters delivering BCTs via text messages is acceptable and appropriate to use if in-person support is limited due to unforeseen circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic.PMID:37839159 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103838 (Source: Midwifery)
