Full breastfeeding protection against common enteric bacteria and viruses: Results from the MAL-ED cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: In this large multi-center cohort study, full breastfeeding was associated with lower likelihood of detecting four important enteric pathogens in the first six months of life. These results also show that full breastfeeding is related to delays in the first detection of some bacterial and viral pathogens in the stool. As several of these pathogens are risk factors for poor growth during childhood, this work underscores the importance of exclusive or full breastfeeding during the first six months of life to optimize early health.PMID:34849524 | DOI:10.1093/ajcn/nqab391

Preventing breastfeeding-associated hypernatraemia: an argument for supplemental feeding
The benefits of breastfeeding are unquestionable. Breast milk provides the ideal nourishment for infant growth and development. In addition, it has numerous health benefits for both infant and mother. Breastfeeding decreases the incidence of acute infections such as otitis media, respiratory tract infections and gastroenteritis; chronic diseases such as type 1 diabetes, asthma and inflammatory bowel disease, and childhood leukaemia and lymphoma; and sudden infant death syndrome. In addition, it improves neurodevelopmental outcomes for the infant. Breastfeeding benefits the mother by improving infant-maternal bonding, facil...

The chiropractic care of infants with breastfeeding difficulties
The benefits of breastfeeding are well documented in the literature. When compared with formula-fed infants, breastfeeding confers a lower risk of acute otitis media, gastroenteritis and diarrhea, severe lower respiratory infections, asthma, sudden infant death syndrome, and obesity, and enhances brain development.1–3 Despite these documented benefits, particularly in the first 6 months of life, breastfeeding rates are still not optimal in much of the world. It has been estimated that suboptimal breastfeeding results in more than 1 million child deaths per year and in substantially higher levels of childhood morbidity.

Infant Growth Faltering Linked to Subclinical Mastitis, Maternal Fecal ‐Oral Contamination and Breastfeeding Practices
AbstractInfant growth faltering occurs in breastfed infants< 6 months of age. The possibility that maternal health status contributes to this growth faltering is underexplored. We investigated whether 1) subclinical mastitis (SCM), an asymptomatic inflammation of the breast, 2) maternal intestinal nematode and protozoan infections, indicators of fecal ‐oral contamination or 3) poor breastfeeding practices increased the odds of stunting (LAZ< ‐2SD), underweight (WAZ< ‐2SD) or low head circumference (HCAZ< ‐2SD) in breastfed infants in rural indigenous communities in Guatemala. Mother‐infant dyads (n = ...

A health-promoting role of exclusive breastfeeding on infants through restoring delivery mode-induced gut microbiota perturbations
The establishment of human gut microbiota in early life is closely associated with both short- and long-term infant health. Delivery mode and feeding pattern are two important determinants of infant gut microbiota. In this longitudinal cohort study, we examined the interplay between the delivery mode and feeding pattern on the dynamics of infant gut microbiota from 6 weeks to 6 months post-delivery in 139 infants. We also assessed the relationship between infant respiratory infection susceptibility and gut microbial changes associated with delivery mode and feeding pattern. At 6 weeks postpartum, the composition and struct...
