There is an established methodology for conducting survey research that aims to ensure rigorous and robust outputs. With the advent of easy-to-use online platforms, however, quality studies has declined. This article summarizes pros cons surveys emphasizes key principles research, example questionnaire validation sample selection. Numerous texts are available guide researchers in online, however this neither a quick nor easy undertaking. While websites software useful assisting design...
Expectations for infant sleep development and the appropriate degree of parental proximity are culturally weighted historically shifting aspects parenting behavior, known to affect breastfeeding prevalence duration. This paper examined how new parents managed night-time feeding in first 4 months, with a particular focus on relationship between breastfeeding, location, bout duration.Sleep logs semistructured interviews were used sample 253 families North Tees, United Kingdom, explore...
Abstract Aim To explore the link between breastfeeding duration and bed‐sharing frequency among women reporting a prenatal intention to breastfeed. Methods About 870 participants in randomised trial, recruited at mid‐pregnancy, provided weekly snapshots of behaviour for 26 weeks following birth. Strength intent was recorded recruitment using Likert‐type scales. Results Outcomes were home least one hour per week, time cessation breastfeeding. There insufficient data classify pattern 192/870...
The pros and cons of parent-infant bed-sharing have been hotly debated in both the academic professional literature concerning infant health early parenting. Much debate has focused on data from US, little research examined parents' motives for sleeping with their infants. This paper examines parental practices young infants North Tees, UK. We found that was a common night-time care-giving strategy, reasons articulated by parents small were varied. There particularly strong association...
To determine whether postnatal mother-infant sleep proximity affects breastfeeding initiation and infant safety.Randomised non-blinded trial analysed by intention to treat.Postnatal wards of the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVI), Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.64 newly delivered dyads with a prenatal breastfeed (vaginal deliveries, no intramuscular or intravenous opiate analgesics taken in preceding 24 h).Infants were randomly allocated one three conditions: baby mother's bed cot-side; side-car crib...
A central goal of the Academy Breastfeeding Medicine is development clinical protocols for managing common medical problems that may impact breastfeeding success. These serve only as guidelines care mothers and infants do not delineate an exclusive course treatment or standards care. Variations in be appropriate according to needs individual patient.

An evolutionary perspective on human infant sleep physiology suggests that parent‐infant cosleeping, practiced under safe conditions, might be beneficial to both mothers and infants. However, cosleeping is not part of mainstream parenting ideology in the United States or Kingdom, little evidence available indicate whether, what circumstances, parents with their newborn We present data from an anthropological investigation into practices attitudes new experienced infants regarding sleeping...
ABSTRACT This article provides a novel synthesis of anthropological research on infant sleep, focusing work in biological and sociocultural anthropology the past decade. First, we briefly review early into sleep from 1987 to 2007, which provided evidence base for argument that proximate parent–infant combined with lactation represents complex set adaptations constitute human evolutionary norm. challenged Western pediatric paradigm, positioned formula‐ or bottle‐fed solitary sleeping infants...
In the UK, infants of South Asian parents have a lower rate sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than White British infants. Infant care and life style behaviours are strongly associated with SIDS risk. This paper describes explores variability in between families (of Bangladeshi, Indian or Pakistani origin) Bradford, UK (the vast majority which were Pakistani) identifies areas for targeted intervention. A cross-sectional telephone interview study was conducted involving 2560 2- to...
This paper presents a new conceptual model that generates predictions about breastfeeding decisions and identifies interactions affect outcomes. We offer contextual approach to infant feeding models multi-directional influences by expanding on the evolutionary parent-offspring conflict situation-specific theories. The main hypothesis generated from our framework suggests simultaneously addressing costs benefits, in relation how they are interpreted mothers, will be most effective. Our...
Children's sleep is critical for optimal health and development; yet duration has decreased in recent decades, many children do not have adequate sleep. Certain behaviours ('sleep hygiene') are commonly recommended, there some evidence that they associated with longer nighttime Parents of 84 British 3-year-old were interviewed about their children's completed five-night/four-day diaries documenting sleep, from which daily was estimated. Diaries validated by actigraphy a subgroup children....
Many modifiable risk factors in early infancy have been shown to be associated with childhood overweight and obesity. These not studied within children of South Asian origin the UK. The aims this paper are describe differences prevalence for obesity between White British Pakistani investigate association these BMI measured at age 3 years. We used data from a sub-study Born Bradford birth cohort detailed follow-up visits throughout childhood. 987 participants measurement were included; 39%...
To examine independent associations of sleep duration with total and abdominal adiposity, the bidirectionality these associations, in a young biethnic sample children from disadvantaged location. Child (h/day) was parent-reported by questionnaire indices (body weight, body mass index, percent fat (%BF), sum skinfolds) adiposity (waist circumference) were measured using standard anthropometric procedures at approximately 12, 18, 24, 36 months age 1,338 (58% South Asian; 42% White).
