Breastfeeding in Women on Opioid Maintenance Therapy: A Review of Policy and Practice
DiscussionPractice lags behind policy in terms of supporting breastfeeding in women receiving opioid maintenance therapy. There is a need for more research that includes African American and rural women on opioid maintenance therapy, as well as quantitative research that uses findings from qualitative research to identify the best possible interventions for improving breastfeeding outcomes for women on opioid maintenance therapy and their newborns. One significant need is for health care provider education regarding these policies as well as best practices for providing breastfeeding education and support to this population.

Simple actions to support breastfeeding can avoid unwanted weaning in infants younger than 6 months hospitalized for bronchiolitis: A before/after study (Bronchilact II).
CONCLUSION: Bronchiolitis is a high-risk event for breastfeeding disruption but interventions to promote breastfeeding might help to prevent the risk of unwanted weaning. More severe bronchiolitis probably poses the highest risk of weaning and the need for supplementary nutrition. PMID: 33309123 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Racial disparities in access to maternity care practices that support breastfeeding - United States, 2011.

Although many factors play a role in a woman's ability to breastfeed, experiences during the childbirth hospitalization are critical for establishing breastfeeding. To analyze whether the implementation by maternity facilities of practices that support breastfeeding varied depending on the racial composition of the area surrounding the facility, CDC linked data from its 2011 Maternity Practices in ...

The effect of breastfeeding on childhood overweight and obesity: A systematic review of the literature
ConclusionsWhile it is possible that there are protective benefits of BF on childhood obesity, it is difficult to prove because of confounding variables. However, because of other benefits for the mother and child, BF should be encouraged. Whether obesity in childhood can be prevented by BF remains unclear. Further research controlling for confounding variables is needed to provide concrete evidence.

Effectiveness of a normative nutrition intervention (diet, physical activity and breastfeeding) on maternal nutrition and offspring growth: the Chilean maternal and infant nutrition cohort study (CHiMINCs)
DiscussionWe expect that the intervention will benefit the participants in achieving adequate weight gain & metabolic control during pregnancy as well as adequate infant growth as a result of an increased impact of standard nutrition and health care practices. Gathered information should contribute to a better understanding of how to develop effective interventions to halt the maternal obesity epidemic and its associated co-morbidities in the Chilean population.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01916603
